Published: 06/06/2026

Serbia is a great destination for a family holiday — short distances, affordable prices and plenty for the little ones. Here is where to take the children.

Mountains for families

Zlatibor is number one for families: the Gold Gondola, a lake, landscaped trails, playgrounds and ski schools in winter. Divčibare offers gentle trails and clean air, ideal for little explorers.

Ethno villages and tradition

Drvengrad and Sirogojno give children a living lesson in history and tradition, plus the Šargan Eight — a railway both young and old adore.

Water and fun

In summer, lakes and water facilities are a real hit. See the lakes of Serbia and look for accommodation with a pool for safe swimming.

Tips for parents

Choose accommodation marked as family friendly, check the equipment (cot, fenced area) and plan shorter driving stages with breaks.
