    Geography of Serbia

    Serbia is a country located in Southeastern Europe, with its capital Belgrade being one of the oldest cities in central and eastern parts of the continent. Bordering seven other countries—Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Romania—it covers an area of approximately 77,498 square miles, which ranks it among the larger European nations. Its terrain mainly consists of rolling hills and plains, particularly in the north and south.

    The Danube River forms part of Serbia's northern border and flows through the nation from west to east before emptying into the Black Sea in neighboring Romania. In addition to major rivers such as the Drina, Save, Morava, Timok, Tisza, and Sava, there are also several lakes within the borders of Serbia, including Palic Lake and Vlasinsko Jezero. Mount Titan is the highest point in the country.

    Climate-wise, Serbia experiences four distinct seasons, ranging from cold winters with ample snowfall to warm summers where temperatures can reach upwards of 30°C (86°F). Rainfall occurs throughout the year, although precipitation tends to peak during spring months.

    In terms of physical features, Serbia boasts numerous mountain ranges like Kopaonik, Zlatibor, Suva Planina, Fruska Gora, Fruška Gora National Park, Gučevo, Vidova Gora, Velika Rudina, Mount Rtanj, Šar Mountains, and Kaimakchalan. These mountains contribute significantly to the unique landscapes found across different regions of the country.
