We had a really fun time here. Marko and Irena are very professional and organized, and the hostel is cozy and clean. Since it was the low season we didn't have a huge amount of work, so that left time to see the city and surrounding region. We recommend this for people who can work well on their own and enjoy having downtime (at least in the… read more

Why Uzice? Why? That's what people from Belgrade say.

Mountain biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, great hitchhiking, Tara National Park, Mokra Gora, Uvacs Canyon, mountains, caves, CHEAP, Western Serbia.

Why not? Uzice is a gem for outdoor… read more
