Kragujevac, with 179,417 inhabitants on the territory of the City, according to the 2011 census, is the fourth largest city in Serbia, and the seat of the Šumadija District, and is located about 120 kilometers south of Belgrade. It was built on the banks of the Lepenica River, in a valley between the extreme branches of the Rudnik, Crni vrh and Gledićke planine mountains. Kragujevac was first mentioned in a Turkish census book from 1476 as "Kragujfoča". It was named after the kraguj bird (a type of hawk) which was used for hunting in the Middle Ages, and today occupies a place of honor on the city's coat of arms.
In many ways, this city can be called "the first in Serbia" - it was the first capital of the modern Serbian state (1818-1841), the first gymnasium in Serbia was founded there, as well as the Lyceum, the forerunner of the University of Belgrade, the first court, the first theater, the first newspaper, the first pharmacy, a picture gallery, a museum, a library... The city has several significant institutions of regional, and some of national importance in the field of culture and artistic activities.
Kragujevac is a significant economic, cultural, educational and health center of Šumadija, Pomoravlje and neighboring regions, and today it is one of the strongest administrative and industrial centers in Serbia. Thanks to railway and road transport, Kragujevac is connected to Belgrade, Niš, Kraljevo, Čačak and other cities. It is best known for the "Zastava" automobile factory and the arms factory of the same name.
It is a city with a rich history and cultural heritage. One of the most significant historical sites in Kragujevac is the Memorial Park, dedicated to the suffering of civilians during World War II. This monument commemorates the massacre that took place on October 21, 1941, when more than 7,000 people were executed in Kragujevac. The memorial park consists of a memorial chapel, a monument, a museum, and a memorial complex that is perfectly designed to reflect the significance of this tragic event.
In the very center of the city, visitors can explore historical landmarks such as the Prince's Arsenal. Along with walks through the old city center, you can visit numerous cafes, souvenir shops, and restaurants offering traditional Serbian cuisine.

About the destination ALEKSINAC
Aleksinac is a city in Serbia and the seat of the municipality in the Niš District. According to the 2022 census, it has about 14,590 inhabitants. Aleksinac is located 30 kilometers from Niš, to the north, on the highway to Belgrade, but it is less well known that it is at the intersection of 2 other main roads, one of which leads from northeastern Serbia and Sokobanja via Aleksinac to Toplica; the second road leads from Eastern Serbia via Aleksinac, and further towards Kruševac and Western Serbia.
Starting from the 16th century, we have data on Aleksinac and most of the surrounding settlements. The oldest data is found in the Kruševac Sandžak Defter, number 55, written in 1516. From it we conclude that almost all current settlements in that territory, as well as Aleksinac itself, are of medieval origin.
In the past, the development of the Aleksinac region was greatly influenced by the fact that the Constantinople Road passed through it, from which the road to Sokobanja and Knjaževac branched off. The Constantinople Road was used to transport goods from Turkey to Central Europe, and for this reason, Prince Miloš thoroughly repaired and maintained it.
Today, agricultural land occupies as much as 64% of the city's territory, and about 60% of households are engaged in agricultural production. With this percentage, the Aleksinac region is considered a developed agricultural region. The majority of industrial enterprises have been closed due to the deep financial crisis. Some enterprises have been privatized, while others are awaiting reconstruction. Industry is concentrated in the city itself and in the Aleksinac Mine.
The natural beauty of Aleksinac is reflected in the extraordinary diversity of landscapes where gentle valleys, dense forests, vast pastures and high rocky peaks alternate, so that the area of this municipality has all the conditions for the development of rural tourism.
The city has a Center for Culture and Arts, an amateur theater, a Music School, a Homeland Museum, and a well-equipped public library. Aleksinac has always been a hospitable and open city. With the Brđanka Park, where there is a monument to Russian volunteers who died in the war of 1876, and the Russian Church in the village of Gornji Adrovac, built on the site of the death of Colonel Rajevski, a Russian volunteer who died fighting against the Turks on August 20, 1876, then with Lake Bovan, with two medieval monasteries, in Lipovac and in the village of Praskovče, Aleksinac is a significant tourist destination in this part of Serbia. Rural tourism is cultivated in the villages of Radevac, Lipovac, and Gornji Adrovac, where accommodation facilities have been built and adapted to provide tourists with complete comfort. In these villages, tourists can learn about traditional and almost forgotten professions and crafts, preparing traditional dishes... According to the data of the Tourism and Sports Organization of the Municipality of Aleksinac, tourists visiting the town show the greatest interest in visiting historical monuments, churches and monasteries, the so-called religious tourism.
