Быстро-быстро по городам и весям Сербии, Хорватии и Черногории.
Путешествие началось в Белграде, столице Сербии. Именно в этот балканский город в начале июля предлагали самые дешевые авиабилеты.
В Белграде путешественники надолго не задержались. Посетили Белградскую крепость, побывали в старом районе Земун и отправились на вокзал, чтобы уехать на поезде в сторону хорватской границы.
В Сремски-Карловци местный житель пригласил в гости и завел долгие разговоры о политике. Конечно, не за чашкой чая.
Во втором по величине сербском городе Нови Сад самая интересная достопримечательность - Петроварадинская крепость.
Суботица — самый северный город Сербии — находится недалеко от венгерской границы.
Краткая остановка в Сомборе. Оттуда сразу на автобусе в городок Бачка-Паланка, который находится уже почти на хорватской границе.
В период Югославской войны Илок входил в состав самопровозглашенной Сербской Краины.
Всего в 30 километрах от Илока находится город Вуковар. Ему выпала незавидная честь стать хорватским Сталинградом.
Город Вара́ждин имеет длинную историю. Люди на его территории жили еще во времена Римской империи. Прекрасно сохранился замок Стари Град XIV века. Построенный в XIII веке в 40 километрах от Вараждина замок Тракошчан.
Село Кумровец на берегу реки Сутлы, по которой проходит граница Хорватии и Словении, превратили в этнографический музей.
Самобор известен своими кремшнитами - пирожными из пенного крема.
Следующая остановка — город Огулин на берегу глубокого каньона реки Добра.
Церковь Богоматери Трсатской - один из семи главных католических соборов Хорватии. Пригород Риеки — Опати́я, также изначально был известен как крупный религиозный центр.
Город Бузет стоит на том же месте, где когда-то было древнее римское поселение Пингентум. От римлян, конечно, ничего не сохранилось.
В соседнем городке Мотовун трюфели можно попробовать бесплатно.
Пазин — не самый крупный город Истрии, но стал его столицей.
В Средние века Крк был крупным христианским центром и одновременно мощной крепостью с военно-морской базой.
Над Шибеником нависает огромная крепость Святого Михаила, построенная в XV — XVII веках.
В 17 километрах от Шибеника на реке Крка стоит древний город Скрадин.
Сплит — самый крупный город и порт Адриатического побережья Хорватии.
Пляж Златни Рат считается самым лучшим хорватским пляжем. Его название означает «Золотой рог».
В Дубровнике завершается путешествие по Хорватии — впереди Черногория.
Херцег-Нови находится у входа в узкий и очень длинный Которский залив, который здесь называют Бока Которска.
В 1878 году Цетине стал столицей суверенной Черногории.
На вершине горы Ловчен похоронен Петр Петрович Негош.
Скадарское озеро — самое большое в Черногории.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Ljubljana (Slovene: [ljuˈbljàːna] (listen), locally also [luˈblàːna]; also known by other, historical names) is the capital and largest city of Slovenia. It has been the cultural, educational, economic, political, and administrative centre of independent Slovenia since 1991.
During antiquity, a Roman city called Emona stood in the area. Ljubljana itself was first mentioned in the first half of the 12th century. Situated at the middle of a trade route between the northern Adriatic Sea and the Danube region, it was the historical capital of Carniola, one of the Slovene-inhabited parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was under Habsburg rule from the Middle Ages until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. After World War II, Ljubljana became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It retained this status until Slovenia became independent in 1991 and Ljubljana became the capital of the newly formed state.
