Food and Jazz Festivals in Niš, Serbia

Where can you combine a simple but tasty porridge and some of the best jazz musicians on the planet? A small city in the southeast of Serbia, of course! With a population of just over 250,000, Serbia's third-largest city is often overlooked by the capital city, Belgrade. But did you know that Niš's airport is cheaper and with direct flights to European cities, such as Vienna or Rome? Sometimes a one way flight can be as little as 20 euros! So what are you waiting for? Niš has been the home of Nišville for the past thirty years. Nišville, an adapted name from Nashville, has had some of the most renowned names in jazz and blues playing inside and around the Niš fortress. Over 2,000 or so people come per year. It is an event not to be missed. Before Nišville, we will go to a food festival called Belmuž festival. Belmuž, which means white husband, in English, is named as such because the porridge will become so thick that the head of household or the strongest man nearby will be the only one who can stir it. We will meet in our Niš accommodation, and stay there for the duration of the trip. We will have a shared flat. What we get depends on how soon we can book. I know 2 places that are 2 buildings right next to each other. All shared rooms (one hostel style with bunk beds) even if it is a flat. So I can take as many as 7-9 tripmates on this trip. And when we are not listening to music, there are plenty of things to see in and around Niš.
