The best flight deals to Belgrade

Belgrade is Serbia's smoking hot capital, built on the banks of the Danube River on the Balkan Peninsula. Sitting at the crossroads of important trading routes between Eastern and Western Europe, its location was of tremendous value to previous Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Serbian and Austrian empires, and earned it the titles, "Gates of the Balkans" and "Doors of Middle Europe". There is much to discover in this shape-shifting city, from impressive historic monuments and palaces that reflect the city's past, to leafy green parks, provocative art, diverse culture and a raucous night scene.
