In the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade

 Belgrade is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and the world. It lies at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers in the north-central part of Serbia.

=====================================================================
(in the capital city of Serbia) Belgrade is located at the convergence of three historically important routes of travel between Europe and the Balkans: an east-west route along the Danube River valley from Vienna to the Black Sea; another that runs westward along the valley of the Sava River toward Trieste and northern Italy; and a third running southeast along the valleys of the Morava and Vardar rivers to the Aegean Sea. To the north and west of Belgrade lies the Pannonian Basin, which includes the great grain-growing region of Vojvodina. Belgrade is designated as a city that never sleeps. The city boasts popular nightlife destinations with floating clubs on its river that feature some great parties and lots of fun. It is also home to some great Museums that unravel the history of this crown jewel. (Top attractions include Belgrade Fortress, Saint Sava Temple, and Nikola Tesla Museum.)

+ Diverse, welcoming, and a a lot of fun -- everything you never heard about Serbia is true. Best of all, this landlocked country in the heart of the Balkans is still delightfully off the tourist trail. While the feisty Serbian spirit is embodied in Belgrade’s world-class nightlife and Novi Sad’s epic EXIT Festival, look beyond these historic metropolises and you’ll discover a crucible of cultures and unsullied outdoors ripe for exploration. Outspoken, adventurous, proud, and audacious, Belgrade's gritty exuberance makes it one of Europe's most fascinating cities. While it hurtles towards a brighter future, its chaotic past unfolds before your eyes: socialist blocks are squeezed between art nouveau masterpieces, and remnants of the Habsburg legacy contrast with Ottoman relics and socialist modernist monoliths. This is where the Sava and Danube Rivers meet, an old-world culture that at once evokes time-capsuled communist-era Yugoslavia and new-world, EU-contending cradle of coolness. From 1921 Belgrade was the capital of the three successive Yugoslav states, including the rump Yugoslavia. The city’s rapid population growth since World War II resulted primarily from the migration from rural areas of Serbia as a consequence of industrialization. Most of the inhabitants are Serbs; the largest non-Serb groups are Croats and Montenegrins.

Since World War II Belgrade has become an industrial city that produces motors, tractors and combines, machine tools, electrical equipment, chemicals, textiles, and building materials. It is the largest commercial center in Serbia. A number of international railroad lines pass through Belgrade, which is also served by highways and by river vessels traveling up the Danube from the Black Sea or arriving from western Europe via the Main-Danube Canal. Nikola Tesla Airport is located west of the city at Surčin.
