S23EP19 | SERBIA NIŠ is our FIRST STOP in SERBIA!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2025
- Finally, we make it into SERBIA! Although we're looking forward to exploring a new country we have to prioritize having our broken suspension fixed. However, on our route we stopped in the fabulous town of Niš where we browse around the old town and market. We also visit the Red Cross Concentration Camp (established in mid-1941, and used to detain as many as 35,000 people during the war) as well as the Bubanj Memorial Park a World War II memorial complex (built to commemorate the shooting and execution of more than 10,000 citizens of Niš).
Although we found Niš to be a charming city we struggled with a bad choice in overnight parking and we reflect on the challenges of this type of full-time travel.

Welcome to Serbia and Nis❤
Thank you!
Welcome to Serbia
Pljeskavica , burek , karadjordjeva snicla ,… ❤
Obviously Saturday June 3rd. Saturday before orthodox Pentecost Sunday. In Greece we call it Souls' Saturday.
I love Serbia and I love serbian people. It is a brother nation to us.
Have a great time there.
(Try the rakija/alcohol)
Oh yes we've definitely already tried some home brewed rakija. Really like the apricot! Thanks for the comment!
Tons of love back to you from the Serbian people... your brothers and sisters.
We love you tooo ❤
Definitely one for the travel bucket list ❤
Definitely!! Thanks for the comment! ❤
you guys have great vibes in your videos. glad I found this channel.
Awesome! Thank you! ❤
I have traveled the world but nobody has better food and warm people as Serbia!I fell in love right away with Serbia!
We have to agree, Serbia has wonderful people and delicious food! Thanks for joining us! 😍
Hi there and welcome to Serbia... We like nice people like you two. Hope that you'll enjoy your stay and try the local cuisine... Food taste like that only on Balkan..
Thank you! 😃
First of all, Dobrodosli u Srbiju. I was actually on zadusnice that Saturday in my Village. The funny part is I was in Nis on Sunday. Did I see Jagodina at the end looks like VIVO Park glad you made it here. If you want to eat burek I would recommend PINK Burek.
Hi and thank you for the welcome! 😎 You've got a good eye 😋 It is indeed Jagodina!
Thanks for the presentation Serbia and our town Niš. Sorry for a rain, it is unusual weather for spring in Niš. You are so cute couple. I wish you everything the best. Good and lucky trip ❤
Thank you so much! The rain just means that we will have to return another time! Thanks for watching and your kind wishes 😊
Well thank you for nice presentation of our city. There is a lot more to see and visit.
13:52 - Unfortunately yes :D That restaurant is well known. A little bit outside of city so they can play music for that long.
However yes, crowd in the street is the strongest that day when "Zadusnice" event is, usually even police start regulate traffic on that day.
About parking slot for your car, there is parking next to the fortress, that you can pay by day. Low trafic noise, no restaurants around and its really in the middle of the city. You sleep 2 meter away from fortress.
When you are in Serbia, just ask young locals, they know english they will give you advices.
Thank you for watching and for your comment and good advice! 👍😊
Welcome to İstanbul..15 temmuz da niş e gideceğim
Welcome to Serbia 🇷🇸 Andre and Lisa, Serbia is the best 😉
Thank you! Serbia is incredible!
Dobrodošli 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Hvala vam!
You caught like the 'rainest' period in Nis ever :) Usually, Nis is very hot from May to end of September
Good to know!
Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Thanks for watching!
So, Nis is the center of the Balkans, and probably Europe too for best food ever. You probably don't know these restaurants, but investigate a little bit.
We're really impressed with the food in Serbia in general.
@@WeWillNomad Oh, there is huge difference. I mean, gigantic. North part of Serbia, food is kind of average (still much better then Western Europe food though). But in Nis and Leskovac, food is on another level. But you have to know the places. That's the main thing.
@@nebojsa1976 absolutely agree they mised really fantastic food in NIs! :( (((
Great video!Just to let you know that you missed one of most important things here in Niš and Serbia in general: Skull Tower, Mediana site and eating in Kafana
Thanks! You don't have to worry 😎 as we ate in many restaurants and coffee shops in Serbia. Sometimes it's not easy to film in these places unfortunately.
Very nice video, but I have two comments. First it wad a pity you did not visit the skull tower. It is a unique monument in the world, and it only takes five minutes to check out.
Secondly you missed out when you did not try one of the traditional restaurants in Niš, as the food there is excellent and cheaper than in for eg. Belgrade or in other countries in Europe. I understand that travelling full time means a tight budget but quality of food is extremely high in Niš for the money you pay.
Thanks Emil! It's important to remember we don't film everything we do or see as that would make for some LONG and boring videos 😁 That said yes we missed out on the skull tower even though it was on our list. On the other hand we can definitely agree on the incredible value for great food.. Thanks do your comment and suggestions. 👍
Cool video! The weather wasn't the best but I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Wifi on the highway was a pleasant surprise 😊
We never stopped to try it! 😁
@@WeWillNomadYou might run into another highway with wifi in Serbia and you should 😄
At 20:51 behind trees there is a little bit of green roof of a building where in 1914 telegram from Austrian-Hungary empire is received about declaration of war and it is start of 1st world war.
That is almost surreal. It's so difficult to image what a certain point in time was like when we visit places . 😮
Really good video Andre & Lisa. We, as you know, have always enjoyed your videos - part tour guide, part reality check, part fun, part reflective and always informative. In this one you show us the challenges we ourselves will have to overcome as well as a very respectful and reflective take on the history of where you are. We enjoyed this whilst supping our INSTANT coffee looking out over a field of cows 🤣
Firstly, thank you! ❤️ Secondly. Instant coffee? 😁 😲Can you even call that stuff coffee? 😂
I hoped you enjoyed serbia, what city do you reccomend in this country for a fellow traveler?
We really like Serbia and (spoiler alert) just popped back in.. We haven't really seen that much yet and we'd love to visit Belgrade and follow the Danube west.
What would I give to have a BUREK like that right here in Los Angeles?!? I think I'll be forced to learn how to make it myself; thank God I saw on youtube some recipes. And BTW - Nis(h) is known for excellent food!!!
Those bureks with the cream cheese are AMAZING! Hopefully you perfect that recipe!
@@WeWillNomad First burek ever was made in Nis in 1498., there is summer festival for best burek on location at the end of your video
Thank you for bringing us along.. Man's Inhumanity to Man is Still continuing ..🤔 But there's no Money 💰 to be made from Peace ✌
It's a good time to have your Van Properly Sorted ..Then peace of mind for a long time .😍
Stay Free and Safe Travels 👍🚌
Thanks Mike! Indeed, greed, power and vanity has been a strong motivator for as long as humans existed. What's really incredible is that we don't seem to learn from history... Then again, are there ever any adults in the (any) room?
As a Serbian citizenship holder i approve of this video
you miss vrnjacka banja is so prety place
Welcome ❤😊
Thank you! And thank you for joining us! 😍
The pronansiation of Nis, its Nisch❤
Thank you!
the hometown of Emperor Constantine
Rofl I live near the cementry and on "zadusnice" day I do not try to get out in car, it is just frustrating :D
Yes we weren't expecting that at all!
Hope you enjoy Niš 😊 If you need any information I would be happy to help
Awesome, thanks again! 😎
Aí love your videos ❤
Thank you!

Welcome to Serbia ❣️
First, welcome to Serbia! And just a reminder: Lisa, in the video, in 10.28 you said it's picnic area. It is not. It's a memorial complex and in respect to many victims and horrible deaths that happened there it is not allowed to picnic there.
Thanks for watching and your comment. Indeed it's a memorial and that is the main reason why we visited the site. However, the park contains many tables, benches and even bbq places which is a bit confusing then as to what is 'allowed'. But thank you for correcting our ignorance.
@@WeWillNomad haha ofcourse its picnic area and that place is full of people on 1-5 may.
@@salonez91 😉
You two are a gorgeous couple and traveling is the best option.Its tricky but
Welcome ❤
Music,yeah i know what are talking
Thanks so much! 😊
Serbien 🇷🇸 ❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video guys.
- I'd like to suggest a Channel rename, how about Pastries and Ice Cream !
- Well done on visiting the concentration camp and thanks for sharing your experience with us. Your respectful tone was appreciated. How sad, how cruel we can be to each other. I've visited Dachau years ago and immediately afterwards felt quite angry, but that's not how we need to be. It doesn't do any of us any good and only breeds hatred and contempt and feeds the "them and us" ideals that seems to bring about these atrocities. Some of the nicest people that I've met are German so we cannot blame all Germans for these horrific deeds. Sadly it seems that we (all nations) are capable of these cruel acts.
- Sorry to see how downbeat you were after your bad nights sleep, good to see that you put it in perspective after the camp visit. But its a shame the infrastructure isn't better. It will take time as they are missing out of a very lucrative tourism opportunity.
- Nis looked Nice ;-)
I'm telling you..... Pastries and Ice Cream is where it's at......
(safe travels and wishing you better sleeps)
🤣🤣 Perhaps our channel will do much better if we only focus on food! Thanks for the comment Ronan! By now we're also more used to the ups and downs of this type of life. To get to the good parts you sometimes have to endure the small pains along the way.
Really enjoy following your journey. Do many people speak English or are you using google translate or something similar to translate menus, info boards etc. Would be interesting to find out.
Thank you! We do use Google Lens a lot and also Google translate. It doesn't really work well for some languages thought. It's a mixed bag to be honest. Sometimes we're surprised by good English in the middle of nowhere and more than often we're surprised how little English is spoken. Generally in destinations which receive more tourists it's easier.
last time I looked at google camping site in Serbia, there were maybe around 14 maybe and quite old. Serbia has actually not cared about tourism that much even though the country has a great potential, only excavations from the past are only about 5% so archeology is huge there, then we have the nature which is fantastic all over the country but unfortunately we don't invest enough especially in southern and eastern Serbia. so new modern camping parking with everything is good business for those who get the idea to open.
Yes, there could definitely be some good new business opportunities, both for campsites and just dedicated motorhome stops. We really enjoyed our time in Serbia, it's a beautiful country and we look forward to returning! Thanks for watching and joining us! 😍
Nice job and the video was excellent. Are you a mechanic?
Thanks! Unfortunately, not a mechanic by trade. But I do like to get my hands dirty 😁
@@WeWillNomad
It has been my dream to travel in a van (motor home) like yours. Your girlfriend is beautiful and funny. Enjoy trip and stay safe.

I have a question for you: Did you ask anybody for information or help? Did you know that Serbian people are always ready to help? Try want cost you anything just a joy
Yes, we found Serbian people very friendly and helpful! Thank you! 😊
💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍

@@WeWillNomad ok.....u r nice couple
❤🇷🇸❤🇷🇸❤🇷🇸👋👋👋
if u are in serbia and u dont visit Vinca and lepenski vir u make a big mistake ..Vinca &LEpenski vir is the oldest european civilisation in EU ..hidden history and much more in this place TITo has tryed to burn all evidence about the vinca civilization ...its not learnt in schools bcs its eastern eu ...u know...
Normal people pronouncing nis: Nis
Them pronouncing Nis: Niz
Balkans pronouncing Nis: Nish
Your approach is showing that you don't know anything about the place you get to. You got to Europe food capital and made yourselves pizza, etc... It's like going to battle with a plastic gun :D
This is the place that can blow your mind when it comes to food, no matter what you prefer - grill, salads, cheese, whatever.... And it's reeeeally cheap on global level.
I've found your channel while browsing Nis reviews and got disappointed
Lucky for you there's loads of other content on RUclips. You don't' have to feel obliged to watch or comment on anything you don't want to watch. I'm sorry you wasted your time just to be negative about our video.
@@WeWillNomad I'm not negative, but honest. And I was not obligated, but curious. And you are the content creator so you should accept a critic when there's a reason for one. You are literally crying on constructive critic. It's really lame.
Quite the opposite actually. You think that 'being honest' is the same as constructive criticism. It's not. It's just your opinion. And although we're all entitled to an opinion it's not always appropriate. When you call someone a 'content creator' you make it sound like you're endowed with the right to have an opinion on the kind of content the produce. You don't. The reason we travel is to learn about a place - not to know everything before we get there. However, I would suggest we actually do know a little bit about the world. We run a website with content on 199 countries which we've personally curated.
@@WeWillNomad I can now accept your argument when you say it like that. So to be constructive - run into Niš, Pirot, Leskovac, whatever. I'm still in some kind of personal disbilief that you haven't tried local food. And I guess it can happen in nomadic lifestyle. I don't know how to compare it. Like going into Paris and skip Eiffel. Or Egypt and pyramids. No exarareting - food is few level above everything, so it's unfortunate you've missed it. And it is non expensive, btw
i wouldnt go through the balkans living in a parking lot...
There are plenty of amazing stops all over the Western Balkans. But in cities options are limited for motorhomes.
Welcome to Serbia dear friends
💙💙
you spent first night across biggest shitholle kafana in Niš, beside so many great... You should visit ćele kula and Niška Banja, Niš is industrial city and for now not good place for tourists
Welcome to Niš🇽🇰
Beautiful 😍 but you see just 0,01% of Serbia. People mean small country but you need half your life to see all 💖💖
Thank you! We will never be able to see it all but we will be back to see more again and again! Thanks for watching 😍
