Thanks for showing the new main railway station in Belgrade and the high speed train. Hopefully, in a few years we will have another line to Subotica in north Serbia, and then to Budapest, and in about five years another one to Nis in south Serbia.
I did hear that they are planning to extend it to Budapest which I think would be great for Serbia and inviting more tourists! Thank you for watching 👍
Greece has joined the project so that the complete railway will be from Budapest to Athens
I admit the fortress is not much to look at but is actually a military masterpiece. the largest of its kind in the world and with the largest network of tunnels. called the Gibraltar of the Danube. just as Gibraltar controls the access to the Mediteranean, so does Petrovaradin controls all the traffic on the Danube. and both are built on a rock 😅
anyway, thanks for the many nice words about the lovely Novi Sad
Thank you so much very Nice vidéo ! Vive la Serbie 🇷🇸 🇷🇸 🇷🇸
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed our video 😀 we’ll be back to Serbia one day for sure!
I have a story to tell here about Novi Sad, in 2016 i was there with two tunisian friends for the weekend, pn sunday morning we were leaving the city and we went to a pekara to eat something before our train leaves. I forgot my staff there my little bag and there was 560 EUR inside it, my passeport, 2 credit cards , we took the train and as the train took off i foundout that i left my things there, we stopped in indjia, the train stop just there it was direct one. we found the pekara on google, we called and they said your things are here come back to picjit up. we went back, i found my things and nothing was missing, i offered 50 eur to the worker there and she did refuse it and got offended. i baught them flowers, chocolates and drinks and i never saw a honest people like them. hope you will visit or go to live there it is amazing people, Novi sad, Zrenjanin, Sremska mitrovica... really great peope
That is such a lovely story and one that highlights the kindness of the Serbian people! We met lots of friendly and welcoming people all over the country 😀
that is serbia.... and that is why we have problems to find our way in the modern world. too naïve and simple people
@@colinafobe2152 There is nothing naive with being a descent human being.
Honestly ia one of pride of humanity and the highest was being kind human
We look at it with different eyes because how would I fell if I forgot those things in your country and it's your culture and home upbringing you'll give those things back!!! Like that person!!!😎😎😎
Such a nice couple enjoy in Serbia and welcome please go to Niš for best burek
Thank you! ☺️ we visited Niš and we did taste the BEST burek - vlog to come on this! Thank you again for comment and for watching, we hope you enjoy our Serbia vlogs 😊
@@AshAndDan. the weather you come is the worst April May much better and July and Avgust for Croatia and Montenegro
Wonderful Serbia🎉
Serbia is awesome! We would love to return one day in summer ❤️
1:40 Seems like the member of staff has the magic touch.
Haha yes they did 😅
That's some really nice train, that'll bring traffic and ultimately development to the place where the station's situated.
Hopefully! 🙏🏼
Thank you for coming to visit us. Hope one day soon we will have more things to show as a country.
Thank you 😀 we have a lot more videos to come on Serbia as we head to the western part to show the beautiful countryside of Serbia 👍 thank you for watching
take a love from bangladesh
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Novi Sad my hearth ❤
What a shame it’s not a brighter day! Novi Sad would be really lovely with a bit of sunshine!!
Definitely would love to return to Serbia during the summer months! Novi Sad would look awesome in the sunshine 👍
I'm Serbian. Thanks for this video. I miss my country. Greetings from Vancouver. ❤
Bobo, vrati nam se. Nije Kanada ono sto je bila. ♥
Hello! It’s an awesome country and we had a great time exploring. Still so much to see so we’d love to go back one day 😀 I hope you get to visit Serbia soon 🇷🇸 🇨🇦
If you don't know the meaning of the Serbian flag witch of you said.... the Red, blue and white colours meaning....
It is believed among the people that red colour on the Serbian flag represents the blood shed for this country, the blue represents freedom, while the white represents mother's milk feeding strong Serbian children.
Glad you guys are enoying the land of Serbia.
Zar plava nije boja neba koje zauzvrat označava slobodu u blizini Boga? Bela jeste smatrana bojom majčinog mleka ali tvrdnja glasi: Boja majčinog mleka kojim nas je podojila da budemo veliki ratnici i još veći ljudi. Takođe, crvena se smatra bojom krvi koja je prolivena za slobodu.
Svako dobro :)
Thanks for the comment and information behind the colours of the flag! We appreciate it. And we loved our time in Serbia, one of our favourite places in Europe. Thank you for watching ❤️
Ljepo objasnjeno buraz, ko u onoj pjesmi Plavo nebo ko sloboda....
Thank you for the info. Nice video
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful 😊
Serbian flag is Red blue and white, just saying 🤔
yes, we know! we said this in the vlog it matches the colours of the train 😊 thanks for watching!
No, you said "white, blue and red" which is russian flag.
Ah didn’t realise the order of what we said was the issue. Thanks!
I 💩 on the serb flag
@@zograf4572 Не каже се witch што значи вештица, већ which.
Awesome ❤wow
Thank you!
You guys are amazing I was in Serbia last year and didn't get to go to Novi Sad next time. Good to go by train good idea. Love that you are showing Serbia great to see
Thank you! Definitely go by train, it’s the quickest, best and very affordable way to travel! Thank you for watching 👍
We were going to make this same train video, but couldn't be arsed. 😂
That train was quite nice! And cheap. 🤑
😂 we be honest we nearly never made it as the train was super busy each way.. but very cool experience and yes, super good value too!
Thank you for this nice video and for visiting our country👍👏🍀🤗
Thank you 😀 we both really enjoyed Serbia and we have more Serbia videos to come 👍
@@AshAndDan. 👍👏🍀🤗
@@bobilaforce8252, hello, I am Zaheer, I also Serbia
It is sad to look that Serbia has faster train then Norway. Serbs were attacked and divided into 3-4 countries while ca 20% of Republic of Serbia is occupied, but Serbs still can find way how to do development and survive.
😂🐽🐽🐽💩💩💩🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
because they rely on china these days
Nice video bro.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hey! Nice video, thanks! I haven’t found recent video content about Serbia-Belgrade and the older content I’ve found usually mentions security. Is there something i should worry about? I’m going there for the first time, I’ll stay for 1 day
It’s very safe and beautiful!Much safer than any bigger European city!
Thanks for your comment 😄 we certainly had no security issues or feeling unsafe. People are nice and the city of Belgrade is very cool with a new modern riverside area being built. We hope you will enjoy your time there! Thanks for watching ❤️
@@AshAndDan. thanks man, btw your channel is great!
@pirueta714 thank you! ☺️
Budite bezbrižni. Mi ubijamo samo naše.😎
Novi Sad❤️🇷🇸
Wait, is this train station the one where the train from Podgorica arrives? I was there last September and it didn't look like that
Hmm unsure! I don’t think the trains from Podgorica come to this station. I think this station served Novi Sad and eventually trains to Budapest 😊
Bravooo❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤️
When do we see the train? I mean, more train, less faces.
07:15 seems like you havent seen old Zemun part of Belgrade, because its not much different then old Novi Sad. Similar like Pančevo which was, in time when my grandmother was born there 100years ago, also together with Belgrade+Zemun but communists separate it from city metropolitan area. So on 3 sides of 2 rivers there are 3 cities: Belgrade, Zemun, Pančevo. Also, mentioned Hungary is today Hungary but in past lot of Serbs were also there, like center of Budim part Tabanvci where majority was Serbian population but today moved to Serbia 100 years ago or abSorbed, there is also Rac /Serbian bath when Muslim Serbs ruled Budapest (Sokolovic Mehmed), or even earlier Serbian 15th century ruler Stefan Lazarevic house preserved in Budim, or even earlier Sibinjanin Janko (on hun. Janoš Hunjadi) who fought in Serbia against Tursk and founder of Corvin Hungarian dynasty... But biggest difference is made in 18th century in architecture
We never visited Zemun, maybe next time! thank you for the detailed information 👍
@@AshAndDan.If you are in Belgrade its very close to visit Zemun❤just explore google maps is so near
@@AshAndDan.
Yes, you should visit Zemun, the waterfront walk and all cool small restaurants,. And I can advise you, best time of actually enjoying all that Belgrade has to offer including that extreme energy and vibe, is in my opinion during summer time, and if oyu don´t like extreme heat then September is really good. Still around 25 C and slightly up but not close to that almost 35-40 C that you have during the peak months.
Браво за кратак пут по нашој историји👍👏
@@scandmaster👍👏
Here
One suggestion in reading Serbian signage; Substitute a letter Y/y instead of J/j and your pronunciation will be more authentic! So, it was 'Zmay Yovina', for ex.!
Thank you for that tip! It’s hard for sure not only with the language change but the alphabet change to! Such a great country to visit though and the people were very friendly 👍 thank you for watching
Zmaj Jovina (Zmaj Yovina) means the street of our famous Poet Jovan Jivanović Zmaj. He was one of the greatest Serbian Poet of 19th century, who first finished the study of jurisprudence and then medicine. However he had dedicated his life to lyrics. His personal life was very tragic having lost all his (5) children and then his wife too.
Very interesting although his personal life sounds very tragic! Thanks for sharing this information 😀 we are glad you enjoyed our video 👍
@@AshAndDan. You are welcome.
All the best🍀🤗
Have you noticed any progress, any improvement since you came here?
Serbia is a cool country to visit! It was our first time so we didn’t know what to expect! We can’t comment on if progress/improvement has been made as it’s our first time but we had a great visit to Serbia and hopefully we will come back maybe in the summer months 👍 thank you for watching
Hi! I was born and raised in Belgrade 40+ years ago, I never moved/live anywhere else in my life. Would you be so kind to let me know where the train station is? Since they destroyed/demolished train station in Nemanjina street, I am unable to find a new train station.
Hello! The new station is in Prokupacka 1. It’s a modern new station that still looks like a construction site in places as I think they are still working on areas. We definitely recommend the Soko train to Novi Sad! Thanks for watching 👍
@@AshAndDan.Great! Thank you very much!
P.S. If I ever have to go to Novi Sad I will consider Soko train option. If I ever have to go to any other city (other than Novi Sad), I will not take a train.
Εδώ στην Ελλάδα αντιμετωπίζουμε ένα πρόβλημα: ψάχνουμε μια εταιρία η οποία να κατασκευάσει μια σύγχρονη αυτοκινητάμαξα για πλάτος γραμμής 60 cm. Η εταιρία αυτή μπορεί να αναλάβει αυτό το δύσκολο εγχείρημα;;;
Serbians are beautiful people.
Super friendly people and a great country to explore to 👍
IF you have a ticket, just pass across free entrance left 01:34. FREE PASS, left of this guy in blue jacket.
Ah thank you! We will know for next time!👍 thank you for watching!
@@AshAndDan.hi Ash since you are in Serbia 🇷🇸 is it possible for you, or can you please recommend a Good travel agency? I would love to visit with my wife , and part of the requirements to get a visa is to have an invitation
Hello! We’d love to help but we didn’t actually use any tour agency when we were in Serbia, we just did it all ourselves 😀 I hope you get the chance to visit Serbia as it is truly is a great country and very safe to visit too and the people are very friendly 👍
@@AshAndDan. thanks for swift response, I appreciate
@@Michealtravel With serbians you do not need any agency. Just come and ask someone what to visit, where to eat...
Fast train, yes. Bullet train, no.
Beautiful couple..welcome to Serbia❤
Thank you ☺️❤️ and thanks for watching!
Does Serbia have a cold winter?
It sure does! Although it wasn’t too bad when we were there 😀 thanks for watching 👍
@@AshAndDan. Thanks for quick response.
depending where you from. if you are from tropical areas yes, it is cold. if you are from russia or north america, nah it is just mild
1:20 and there you meet real real Serbia 😂 brand new turnstiles already out of order and a member of staff checking tickets manually at ONE of the dozens of styles. you were the only ones who actually did expect the stiles to work and tried the automated system repeatedly. the locals already expect that things normally don't work. another interesting point - at least some of the people around you must've noticed that you're struggling, and nobody thought they should tell you that the automated system is out of order
Hahaha 😂 a very fancy train but they still need to work on the station to get those automatic barriers working ha! to be honest, this happens back in the UK too! Thanks for watching 👍
everything north from Belgrade fortress (or Sava-Danube rivers) is considered Central Europe. Naturally it is a southern part of the Pannonian/Carpathian basin, it was a part of old Austria-Hungary so yeah no wonder Novi Sad and Petrovaradin looks as Central Europe because they are
Thanks for sharing 👍 and also thanks for watching 😀
@@AshAndDan. thank you for visiting and having a good time. side note, to feel serbia one must have explore serbian house, domestic food and people. it may sounds weird but this country has much more to offer off main touristic ways
7:05 it's because Novi Sad was part of Hungary before the first WW
Oh really? I did not know this! Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching 😀 more videos from Serbia to come! 😎
@@AshAndDan. NS was under the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Made in ?
We’ve been told China! 🇨🇳
@@AshAndDan. OK!
It's normal train.
Don’t get these fancy trains in Scotland 😂 or the UK! Serbia and Europe in general much better for train travel 👍 thanks for watching
200km per hour.
140kmh max
@@user-xj3ve7wt8k No, the train really goes at 200 per hour, I saw for myself.
@@user-xj3ve7wt8k Ide 200km/h, gde si ti komšija pročitao da je maksimalna brzina 140?
🥰🇷🇸🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍
02:24 it is a old Latvian trains, BLUE TRAINS, exellent trains but 40+ years old. Superb quality but... year of manufacture doing what it must do. It steal works, they connects different parts of Belgrade.
02:42 thy should wash these trains little bit
Oh interesting! Sometimes you do get better quality with older things but it’s hard to beat the speed and quality of the new Soko train! I do agree they should wash them 😂 thank you for sharing some information on the trains👍
@@AshAndDan.yeah the BG-Voz (Train) system is getting expanded now in different directions & new trains are slowly replacing the old blue ones.
Its Soviet train, not Latvian
@@YTinjustice Yep, but manufactured in Riga, Latvia.
fishos and pheasants from the other side, seen the bigger better.
Train built by Chinas BRI !
Cool! I think China have started to build everything, everywhere 😂
1:00 Titove komunističke zgrade u pozadini ubijaju koliko su ružne
Money laundry
Haha not sure what you mean about that 😅
Brainwashed.
Seats 2 tight and narrow...
We were impressed with the train! Fantastic value for money and speed 😀
No, the train is perfect
That was a austro hungarian city and the area is called voivodina,wich was hungarian teritorie given to serbian rebels(voivods)when the turks conquered serbia in order to continue the fight,but they forgot that this is hungarian land .....i think now thay also want to separate in a independent state
Thanks for sharing! Thats really interesting 👍 hope you enjoyed our video and thank you for watching 😀
This is a partial obstruction of history! Your comment is simplified and not fully correct!
that is really load of bs from Hungarian nationalist point of view
@@colinafobe2152 that was just like you said: a bs from Hungarian nationalist!!!
@@colinafobe2152 i am from bulgaria by the way.......one thing....when you are greedy to take what dont belong to you god see it all
cringe…
Not sure what you mean by this?
Just ignore it...
@@AshAndDan.Just a person with severe problems in life. Great vid, thx & keep up the great work
Beautiful.serbia need fast trains, never know when they need to flee 🚜🚜🚜 greetings from Turkey, land of serbian grandfathers ❤
Thank you for watching from Türkiye!
In Serbia, there is not even a trace of Turkish blood, unlike Serbian blood, in Turkey there are millions of them.
