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 ZLATIBOR
Zlatibor is a mountain and nature park in Serbia, covering an area of about 1,000 km², 55 km long and up to 20 km wide. It stretches in a northwest-southeast direction. The highest peak of the mountain is Tornik (1,496 m).
Zlatibor is located in the northern part of the Stari Vlah region, the border region between Raška, Herzegovina and Polimlje. It covers the areas of three municipalities of the Republic of Serbia: Čajetina and a part of the municipality of Užice (Kremanska oblast) northern Zlatibor and a smaller part of the municipality of Nove Varoš (Murtenica oblast) southern Zlatibor.
Zlatibor has always had great border significance. On the Cigli hill near Jablanica, the border of Serbia with two empires — the Austro-Hungarian and the Turkish — can still be seen today. The first written traces of the name of the mountain, and this region, date back to the time of the first Serbian uprising. It is believed that the mountain was named after a very rare type of white pine, the so-called golden pine, which is under state protection.
Since it is located in the geographical center of Serbia, it is well connected to all major cities in the region. Zlatibor is located halfway between Belgrade and the Montenegrin and Dubrovnik coasts. Many important highways and railways cross it, including the Belgrade-Bar railway. The nearest major city is Užice.
Because it is a mountain of exceptional beauty and a pleasant climate, it is very suitable for various types of tourism. Zlatibor is a health spa, a recreational center, a ski resort, a center of cultural events and gatherings of people from all over.
The Zlatibor region is rich in a large number of cultural and historical monuments, among which the local churches and monasteries occupy a special place: the Jablanica church, the Uvac monastery, the Dubrava monastery, are just some of the more famous.
Excursions to the surrounding villages, on horses, carriages or off-road vehicles "quads", parties in discos and nightclubs, frequent concerts by famous musicians, recreation on tennis and golf courts, modernly equipped ski resorts, traditional local cuisine, tell us that Zlatibor is synonymous with a universal vacation.
