This guide lists 10: Visoki Dečani, Church of Saint Sava, Đavolja Varoš and Our Lady of Ljeviš and others. Visoki Dečani and Our Lady of Ljeviš are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
By machine, from open data, with no human ranking them and nobody able to pay for a place on the list. Everything Wikidata records in Serbia that is a building, a landform, a protected area or a tourist attraction, has coordinates, a photograph and an English Wikipedia article, is ranked by how many Wikipedia language editions wrote about it. Provinces, cities, airports, stations and stretches of sea shared with the neighbours are filtered out.
2 of the 10 in this guide: Visoki Dečani and Our Lady of Ljeviš. That is not the full count for Serbia, only the listed sites that made this guide.
Serbian. The currency is RSD.
A travel eSIM is usually the cheapest way, and avoids a roaming bill. The plans suggested at the foot of this guide start at $2.40 for 2GB per day. The eSIM is data-only and sits alongside your normal SIM, so calls, texts and WhatsApp keep working on your own number.
Telenor. Your phone picks whichever has the best signal where you are, the same way a local phone does.
Maps, tickets and translation all want data, and roaming is the expensive way to get it. A Computatus eSIM eSIM connects to Telenor once you land, and installs by QR code before you leave.
