MORE INFO
Nis is compact, affordable, and underrated. It does not have Belgrade’s nightlife or Novi Sad’s polished cultural reputation, but it offers a much lower-cost version of Serbian city living with a more local feel. The center is walkable, cafes are plentiful, food is inexpensive, and the pace is easy for slow travelers. Remote workers should come for affordability and routine rather than international networking.
