Agrotourism in Serbia

Agrotourism in Serbia

Agrotourism in Serbia is one of the most popular branches of tourism in that country. For a long time Serbia has been known as an agricultural country.

Central Serbia is a fruit and vegetable growing area. Villagers here have continued to live a traditional way of life in which harvest time is still important. Agricultural life is hard work whether working in the fields or with domesticated animals. During the harvest, fruit brandies are made and food is canned and stored for winter. The most popular fruits are raspberries, plums, and grapes, which are collected to make homemade Serbian plum or grape brandies. Many tourists consider visiting a village to be a wonderful time to relax and afterwards appreciate the conveniences of modern life.

On more traditional "salaši", families continue to live as their ancestors did. Many of these farmstead owners continue to live without electricity or running water.
