First Impressions of Niš, Serbia! 🇷🇸

Nis is a must visit, if you are planning a trip to Serbia. We found our new favorite food!, as well as enjoyed the beautiful, and relaxing city center. Nis fortress is a free-to-enter 18th century fortress with lots to look at, for history lovers. And if you're interested in 'extreme-history', the skull tower, and concentration camp are worth seeing - however disturbing.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - First Impressions of Nis
1:54 - 200+ year old tower made from human skulls
4:40 - Difficult thing to see, although worth seeing
9:35 - Nis Fortress

The best city in Serbia in terms of soul, traditional cuisine, and historical cultural monuments. Nis is one of the oldest cities in the Balkans. The city where the Roman emperor Constantine the Great was born. That is why everyone who comes to Serbia as a tourist for these reasons should first visit Nis.

[@JetLagWarriors]

We think you're right! Nis is a great place to kickstart your trip, and at very least a must visit during some point of a Serbian trip :). We highly recommend it :)

[@gerardfernon3339]

That was good to see the original hometown of the Emperor Constantine 1750 years ago. I bet it's changed since then, though the old boy could probably still recognise a few bits here and there. I'm surprised our Orthodox friends haven't made more of a fuss over the town. After all they call him "St Constantine, Equal to the Apostles" and he's a huge figure in the Orthodox churches. He was buried in Constantinople in the Church of the Apostles, but both the church and his remains are no longer there.

Niš International Airport is called after him. In fact 17 Roman Emperors were born in the territory of today's Serbia, you have Roman remains in every corner of the country.

One more history fact about Niš is that it was War capital of Serbia during WW1, since Belgrade was occupied by Austria-Hungary, government and all officials and royalty moved to, and operated from Niš. Command of Serbian Army is also located in Niš for that matter ( I dont know if thats the real cause but it sure is a nice symbolic). In more recent history, Niš was the place where downfall of Milosevic regime started, with longest protest of people and Serbian Army generals refusing the command to use force to stop the protests. Nice vlog btw, hope you had great time ✌🏻😁

[@bigassvegan]

Nis is the best! One thing you didn't mention about the fortress, and Nis in general, is how saturated with art it is. The city of Nis has two major art schools- one high school just for the arts (visual and audio) and an art college too. They are extremely well run, and oftentimes the students are the recipients of world renown awards. The other established art schools are in the capital, Belgrade, but they can't touch the expertise, creativity, and overall kick-assnesss of Nis ones. I was lucky to attend it. The city also gives its resident artists (and there are a lot!) free work studios right there at the fortress grounds. If you walk around and see new, small, one-story houses- you are looking at art studios.

Thanx for such a good review of our city of Nish. All the things you said in the video are 100% correct. Maybe someone also forgot to mention that Nish was also bombed by NATO 23 years ago and there was more than 200 Tomahawks that were lended on the Car Konstantin Ariport.

All you Serbs ever talk about is how you were bombed. If we try to talk about how you didn't do good things your reaction is :NATO bombed us. Yes, AFTER you were being violent to your neighbors. Don't get me wrong, Serbs are good people, but when they heard me speak English, the 1st thing everyone came up with was: you bombed us.

[@nikolailic3120]

@@Gerald.A.Cooper Except 9/11 there is absolutely no other situation where America was attacked on their own soil. Did any American forget about it? Nope. Everyone in the world knows about 9/11. I have an American friend living in Nish. Didn't ever mention that to him but u don't have relatives who died in the bombing, most of my friends were born during the bombing. So if we wanna talk about it we will, and if u wanna talk about our neighbours then research a bit more.

[@vukrudan1329]

Gerald, my comment was not a howl. We are proud of our history. This creator of this great video presented the Skulp Tower and also a Koncentration Camp so I just wanted to complete his historical presentation as I felt it would be a right thing to do in honour to the people who fought for freedom. We don't hate the rest of the world because of bombing. It is a history, the recent one, and we kind of learn to see it through a wider perspective. But if you ever expirienced a bomb attack while playing basketball as an 17 year person, well you would be welcome to bi in this discssion, otherwise, no I don't think so. And yes, Nickolas was right, maybe you need to learn a little bit more about our history.

Great video, hope more people will come. There's so manz more you guys didn't catch on to, but I hope you will when you get back again :D Nish (not Nisht) has it's traditional Beer Brewery, it's the Нишко beer (sold in the USA), wine from the village Sićevo and the whole Sićevo Gorge (with Balajnica cave, cave with oldest human remainings found in the whole Europe couple of years ago - Google it :D) are to try and see, old Latin church and the Monument of Čegar, northeast of the city, where that battle the Skull-Tower is about actually happened. The Niška Banja (Spa eastern of Niš - direct buss or taxi ride from the Skull Tower, at some 5-6km of distance) is a spa with naturally radioactive spring water, used for rheumatic issues. Many, many more, waiting to be discovered, and that was just the highlights about Niš only. Yeah, forgot the Pantelejska church, in whose church yard area the great Friedrich I Barbarosa and Serbian ruler of that time, Stefan Nemanja, founder of the Nemanjić dynasty met each other, during Barbarosas trip to the Crusade War. As I said, many, many more. Please take your time in Serbia, it is full of historical heritage, great sights and scenes and lots of organic, traditional, natural and full-flavour food that you can hardly find of that quality and aroma anywhere. Just braging a bit, don't mind me. :)

Hehheh, you guys are so cute. Rakija doesn't really come in a range from super expensive to cheap, like whiskey. When you're asked what kind of rakija you want, the question is about which flavour you prefer - which fruit you want your rakija to be made from. Sljivovica = plum Loza = grape Dunjevaca = quince Kruskovaca = pear Viljamovka = williams pear Dudovaca = mulberry Kajsijevaca = apricot Smokvovaca = fig Jabukovaca = apple And then there are the ones with added flavourings: Travarica = herbal Orahovaca = walnut Medovaca = honey Visnjevaca = sour cherry When comes to quality, unless you know to ask for a specific brand, it'll just depend on the quality of the restaurant itself, and the price will be roughly the same whichever flavour you choose. Good rakija is plentiful and comparatively inexpensive, so there's little reason for any halfway decent establishment to serve cheap swill. The only places where I've encountered that is in tourist traps. Any halfway decent place that serves locals couldn't get away with serving "brlja" (=poor quality rakija). Of course, the very best, most prized rakija is the rare home-made batch, brewed by someone who really knows their stuff, out of the best, sweetest and ripest fruit, and that you won't normally find in any restaurant. So when you're in Serbia, just ask for rakija by the fruit you want to try. Personally, I'm partial to loza, and I can't even stand the smell of sljivovica, but to each their own. Try the liqueurs as well, if you like sweet drinks.

Actually, the NIS fortress was built in the 2nd Century by Celts ( who had decided to name it NAISSUS). Later, it was succeeded by the Roman Empire who gave it to the local Dardanian people and finally the South Slavs (Serbs to be precise) who had managed to conquer it somewhere around the beginning of the 7th Century. Ottomans have only extended the fortress walls in the 18th Century. If the Ottomans had created the whole fortress by themselves you wouldn't be able to see the old basilica remains (which is the part of Ancient Roman Infrastructures inside the complex). Anyways, i wanted to thank you for the amazing content and for promoting our local treasure, the city of Nis with its features. Hope you will decide to come again one day. Thumbs up!

I watched a lot of videos of famous vloggers about the Nis, but no one was able to present this city in its most positive light. Nis is a city of great history and great wars, struggles and sufferings of the Serbian people, and that should always be presented to tourists who visit this city to see that what is presented to them on television is not true, but this city should not be evaluated by that. Basically, all vloggers are sad when they film Skull Tower and Concentration camp, so one gets the impression that this is a sad city and Niš has a lot of positive things to offer. They are generally all held by historical monuments, fortresses and other attractions and no one notices the best in Nis and these are people who live in it. First of all, the food is fantastic, there are hundreds of cafes with great food and music. People are very cordial and positive and ready to help strangers. This is the first video I watched Nis without being presented in a slightly more positive light. I would recommend you to take a walk to Chair Park or St. Sava Park to see how sociable people are and how much they socialize, drink coffee and beer and how much they are smiling.

The whole area is known for good food. Pirot, Knjazevac, Leskovac, Vranje. But the best city for everyone is convincingly Nis. It has the most restaurants with traditional cuisine, and that you visit every day can't get bored of how good the food is.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

I'm glad you were in Niš because is I live in it. And I have to say that there are some interesting things that you didn't see, maybe next time🙈. And I have to say that I'm glad I live here!

I always say,Nis is the perfect example of mixing old and new time. Of course,in Belgrade there are places that are from the past time but Belgrade is capitol and is because of that, mostly all in high buildings and that stuff. In Nis,you don't have much buildings like that,you have old parts, fortress but across the river you can see new part,center of the city. And coming there by the river on Friday and Saturday night when it's nice and warm, it's literally the best thing you could ever do. I am from Serbia but I personally never got a chance to visit this city until the last year when I was 3 days at my sister's and her boyfriend place. And they got me trough the most important parts of the city and still I didn't see all of them.

Your new favorite food is called "Laf Piletina". ☺️ It's also my personal favorite.

[@JetLagWarriors]

oh good to know the name! Thanks!

[@superomnia]

As a serb I beat the challenge of reading Niš ez pz. Also id like to point out that when you were pronouncing it, you were saying it with T at the end, so if it was going like that town would be called Ništ. Just wanted to get that corrected

[@JetLagWarriors]

Yeah sorry, I actually knew it was pronounced Nish.... and then right at the last minute, while we were taking the bus on the way to film this video, I heard a guy on the phone saying what sounded like Nisht.... and I thought I had some sort of inside scoop on how the locals say it and went all in, calling it Nisht. Total fail. Sorry about that! We come from a city called Toronto where locals don't pronounce the 2nd T. So it's said like Toronno basically. Which is technically wrong but that's how everyone says it. So, we are often looking for the inside scoop on how locals actually pronounce things. Although in this instance it was a total fail lol

[@prokakokosinac9278]

@@JetLagWarriors maybe he said “nishta” which translates to nothing

[@TheMisa92]

@@JetLagWarriors Serbian language is basically one voice one letter so it cant be pronounced without letter or silent or it cant be different like your A its two voices here its just one... :D its similar to reading Spanish :)

You missed great hisotrical places of Nish: - Mediana, - Cegar. and lots of places with extra food, but burek in morning is the best. Near Novi Pazar, look for waley of kings and orthodoh monasteries, Djurdjevi Stupovi i Sopocani so as old town above Pazar.

[@JetLagWarriors]

We are heading to Novi Pazar next!🇷🇸 Please give us some reccommendations on places to visit, things to do, and food to try! Thank you😁👍

[@markoskopelja7276]

Wassup Warriors, super cool vlogs. When you go to Novi Pazar try cevapi at "Jonuz" and "Kod Rileta". They are the best in the city. And the bun is also perfect at both places.

[@diktrejsi8214]

You should try "mantije" in Pazar, like little pitas, they are delicious

[@djdox2425]

@@diktrejsi8214 Mantije u Sidru, i u Sve pod sac. Cevapcici kod Jonuza i kod Rileta. Pitanje je samo gde ko vise voli. Kako ti rangiras to?

[@djdox2425]

Cevapcici at Jonuz, or at Rile. Mantije in "Sidro", or "Sve pod sac" .

[@dejanstanojevic6484]

In the video about Sremski Karlovci, you said that you like small towns. That is why I suggest you visit Žagubica. It is located in the ecologically cleanest region in Serbia called Homolje or Homoljske planine (mountains), it’s mountain area that very looks like Swiss Alps. With healthy and delicious traditional food of the area. There you visit the beautiful motel Vrelo ( springs), which has a beautiful location at the source of the river Mlava.You have a direct bus line from Belgrade to Žagubica. As for food, they have excellent lamb 🐑 and sheep 🧀 also high quality fresh spring trout, if you like 🐟

[@advanceduser5879]

Skull Tower... It supposed to scare Serbs and accept Turks as masters. It did made an efect. But not what turks hoped like. It angried us even more, and we won and regained our indipendence. That is a story of Skull Tower in Nis. Great videos btw

Great video!In Niš is also a must to visit: Bubanj Memorial Park- place where prisoners of concentration camp were executed, Čegar tower- a place where famous battle you talked about in video happened, Niška Banja- great spa to relax and just enjoy. Also, don’t forget to go on our famous kafanas because Niš has the best barbecue in Serbia.And of course try burek in Niš, it’s the best!🙌

Oooh we have an upcoming video about the best burek we've ever had, right here in Nis! Thanks for this comment, great recommendations all around!

[@Alina_Valentina]

Wow

[@josha997]

Thanks for this video about our city! But! I saw that you really liked food from LAF, and that one is the most popular one, but not that great and has no good quality. So, next time, ask for recommendations on reddit or somewhere and you'll get the best food in Niš. Just imagine how that tastes! 😁😁 P.S. right next to LAF is one unpopular kiosk also with meat, but it's much better and the quality is one of the best (for street food). Cheers !

[@josha997]

I just saw you also went to MRAK, so just forget about this, you picked the best one. Živeli!

Hey there, i dare you to go to KRUŠEVAC. Its small town in the middle of Serbia. Im from Nis, but for me Krushevatz is the prettiest and cleanest city in our village Serbia.😁

A very beautiful city. Krusevac 👌 But Nis is Nis 👑

There are most definitely some dark times back in history, but today, we have to try to judge people by how they behave today. This doesn't mean forget, as some people think, but to treat todays people as they are today. Basically treat people as people, as your wide travels prove, time and time again. It reminded me of Groundhog day, when Steve popped out of that hole. Ice hockey? one of our friends in Slovenia played for the National Yugoslavia Ice hockey team. He is now the owner of a cafe / ice cream shop/ Slaščičarna in Kranjska Gora. He was Semi retired last time we visited. He's a real tough character but if you know him a very funny guy. He was top scorer for his league team in Jesenice many times. It would be great if you can return to the are and visit more of the Former Jugoslav countries. Don't see you guys really try too many cakes, they have one called Kremšnita in Slovenia which is amazing.The one in the cafe in Kranjska gora is one of the best.

[@JetLagWarriors]

Thanks for this comment!! Wish I could give it 2 hearts ;)

[@andreavukovic6240]

It’s pronounced like the word niche in English. I think you guys kept adding a t at the end of it 😂 great vid tho. I keep sending these to my boyfriend in hopes to visit soon and get to show him around my hometown

[@antoniuswibowo4030]

Interesting opening story about the city which ia historical monumen with skuls imbedded.

[@MJ-gs4co]

That was my Highschool, none of the classrooms look on to the camp. Only hallway windows.

[@violetapesic5800]

I think camp had birbed wires on the floors, so that people cound not sit down, they would have to stand. It was a part of a punishment. Otomans built walls around fortress, but tunels are made by the romans, so they are much older, but yes, it is original.

[@vesnapetrovic4401]

Nish.. Niš to pronounce like Nish.. not Nisht.. (and story about "skull tower" is not about general Sinđelić.. he did not doing anything "on his own".. it's about Serbian collective bravery and heroism and unity we, as Serbs, represent.. some of us at least! Specifically from Niš coz we are very hard local patriot's.. But for yours 2 days you done quite well.. It could be a good Serb's from you two. :) Lot's of love and hugs from city of Niš, Serbia..

I am living in Nis for 38 years. Everyday in fortress, but i have never considered to enter this tunels.
