Experience in Nis, Serbia by milenija

What is it like to live in Nis? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I like living in this city, where ever you live it takes you max 15 minutes(by bus or bike) to the city center, and that is if you live in the periphery of the city. In my opinion, it is not too big and not too small. You have everything you need, from medical care, to parks, to places where you can take a walk, food everywhere, schools.. It is a nice city to live in.
