Hunt for accommodations (1/1 people found this helpful)

More pictures better maps more references and in-depth. This has more information than the other guides on the area.
The thing that lets it down an accommodation section which leaves you to pin point locations yourself :(

Good to read before you go to Serbia (2/4 people found this helpful)

This is a great book to look at before you go to Serbia. It shows many of the magical places that can be explored and is good for whetting one's appetite. It certainly made me go to places that I otherwise wouldn't have gone to.In addition this guide is an exception to the general shortage of infomation on this strangely (and sadly) undervisted country. Good photographs.

It is less useful in dealing with the practicalities of travelling in Serbia, and you really need something like the Bradt Serbia guide with a few maps to help you along in this respect.

Easy to use and good information. (4/4 people found this helpful)

This recently published guidebook on Serbia by a small local publisher Komshe is an absolutely definitive guide on Serbia. Whilst choosing a guidebook I noticed that "Serbia In Your Hands" was written by a native author, and is the most recent publication with regards to Serbia. With this in mind and with some knowledge of the rapid transformation taking place in Serbia I opted for this book and have not regretted it. The authors style is incredibly honest and his directions very precise, for example on describing how to find a particular monastery he suggests "..at the first fork in the road keep to the right. After a while you will see a sign to the left, which guides you to an unpaved road that descends steeply into a wooded dale and the monastery within it."

Serbia is still literally unknown to most of today's travelers and the customs of its people unfamiliar and unexplored by modern day adventurers; Vladimir Dulovic has decided to supply his readers with plenty of practical tips on things to see and how to find them. It is obvious that the author has a passion for exploration and wishes to share it with the reader. He has also included listings and reviews of accommodation facilities, restaurants, coffee-shops, internet cafes, car rental, tourist offices and similar services (always with their address, phone numbers, web site URL, email and a short and occasionally a humorous review), which I found very useful whilst trying to choose where to eat, sleep or what to see.

Komshe's guidebook is visually stunning with 500 colour photos, 20 panoramic maps and is very practical in its layout and design. It can be carried in an inside coat pocket and referred to on the move, or you can let yourself be enchanted by its wonderful descriptions and photographs while relaxing.

It is easy to see that lots of time and effort went into the production of this guidebook which seeks not only to take you from point A to point B but to point you to the hidden treasures of Serbia.

Great Guide (4/4 people found this helpful)

This book is a wonderful help to anyone planning a trip to Serbia or as guide book while you are in Serbia. The cultural lessons were a big help to me in grasping an understanding of the Serbian people. If you're going to Serbia or just researching it this is a great book. It presents great little places off the beaten track. Highly recommended
