Fruit brandy — or rakija — is popular throughout Southeastern Europe. While you can find the fruity firewater all over the region, nowhere does rakija quite like Serbia. "Serbia may just be most the welcoming, hard-partying, culturally rich travel destination you've never considered. From the nightlife in Belgrade (which rivals that of Berlin) to the art nouveau beauty of Subotica to the traditional villages dotting the mountainous countryside, there's something for everyone in this Baltic gem," says Balboni.
