Located in southern Serbia at the crossroads of major Balkan routes. Niš is the birthplace of Emperor Constantine the Great, who legalised Christianity in the Roman Empire in 313 AD – the archaeological site of Mediana still commemorates this distinguished son of the city today. The Skull Tower (Ćele Kula), a sobering relic of Ottoman rule, and the mighty Niš Fortress are the best-known sights of Serbia's third-largest city. The culinary scene around Kopitareva ulica impresses with excellent grill restaurants and a vibrant nightlife at very affordable prices.
