Experience in Nis, Yugoslavia by vesela

You would be coming to one of the most oldest cities in Europe that has been constantly occupied for over 7000 years :D
If you are into History this is a great city to live in, literally wherever you dig you'll find something ancient, and with its underground roman network of tunnels is just amazing. Its the city of Constantine the Great, he was born here as well as few other roman emperors, with one of the biggest emperors palaces on over 80 hectares of land... With the unique scull-tower... its just the city engulfed in the veil of mystery and cheap fun!
