VILA ALEKSANDAR

   Smederevo, grad sa hiljadu stranica istorije. Baš zbog toga, postaje prvorazredni faktor turizma Srbije. Njegov značajni položaj na mapi Balkana i Evrope, činio ga je kamenom spoticanja za mnoga imperijalna stremljenja tokom mnogovekovne istorije. Iako se smatra da se pod slojevima gline i peska nalaze neotkrivena nalazišta ranijih civilizacija, tek sa građenjem „Đurđevog grada“ , poznate smederevske tvrđave, postaje značajna tačka na mapi Sveta. Na svojstven način ovaj grad čuva svoju lepotu za dalja pokolenja. Taj spoj modernog, odmerenog, istorijskog i poslovnog, retko gde se može naći. Smederevo je, uistinu i moderan grad, odmerenog razvoja u kome se još oseća prisnost, ljubav, prijateljstvo i gostoprimstvo. Ovaj grad ne robuje ni svojoj modernosti ni poslovnosti, iako je to centar metalne industrije Srbije. Više se može reći da je njegovo istorijsko poreklo, njegova centralna pozicija u državi i njegova oslonjenost na Dunav, koji mu daje gotovo primorski osećaj, preovlađujući utisak gosta koji se zatekne u njegovim ulicama.

   U planovima turističkog razvoja Srbije, ovaj grad kao da ima centralno mesto. I to najpre, zbog mogućnosti koje pruža rečni turizam, koji se sve više razvija na ovom području. Moramo pomenuti da se nalazi na maršuti Beograd-Kostolac-Viminacijum, a na taj način postaje ključna savremenoj turističkoj ponudi ove države. Ovde treba pomenuti i mnogobrojne događaje u koje svakako spadaju „Nušićevi dani“; „Smederevska pesnička jesen“ i turističko-sajamska manifestacija „Smederevska jesen“. Ne treba zaboraviti činjenicu da se u ovom gradu nalazi najmoćnija privredna organizacija „U.S.Stil- Smederevo“ koja svojom izuzetnom proizvodnjom privlači sve više kapitala i preduzetnika u ovaj grad. Pored toga, moramo pomenuti i turistički kompleks „Jugovo“ na obali Dunava, Lunjevačku šumu i poznato smederevsko vinogorje. Uprkos velikoj blizini Beograda, koji je na jedva 45 kilometara udaljen uzvodno uz Dunav, migracija stanovništva ide prema Smederevu koji svake godine beleži sve veći broj žitelja.

Smederevo - a town with a thousand pages of history. For this reason it has become a prime factor in Serbian tourism. Its important position on the map of the Balkans and Europe has made it a stumbling block to many imperial aspirations throughout its centuries-old history. Although it is reckoned that beneath the layers of clay and sand lie undiscovered sites of earlier civilizations, it was not until the building of ‘Djuradj’s Town’, the well-known fortress in Smederevo, that it became an important point on the map of the world. In its own special way, this town preserves its beauty for future generations. Such a combination of modernity, dignity, history and business is rarely found anywhere. Smederevo is, indeed, a modern town, developed with care so that its intimacy, love, friendship and hospitality can still be felt. This town is not a slave to its modernity or commercial interests, even though it is the centre of Serbia’s metal industry. It would be more true to say that its historical origins, its central position in the country and its reliance on the River Danube give it an almost coastal look, which make a very strong impression on the visitor who finds himself among its streets.
   It seems that this town has a central position in any plans for the  development of tourism in Serbia. This is mainly because of all the opportunities it has to offer river tourism, which is becoming increasingly popular in this part of the world. We should mention that Smederevo lies on the route Belgrade-Kostolac-Viminacijum and is thus presented in this country as a major tourist attraction. One should mention the numerous events that take place here, among which are certainly ‘Nušić’s Days, ‘Smederevo Poets’ Autumn and the annual tourist fair ‘Autumn in Smederevo’. Nor should one forget the fact that this town is the home of the all-powerful corporation: ‘U.S. Steel – Smederevo’, whose exceptionally large production draws more and more capital and investors into the town. On top of this we should mention the tourist complex ‘Jugovo’ on the banks of the Danube, as well as the Lunjevačka Forest and the famous Smederevo vineyards. In spite of being so close to Belgrade, which is situated on the Danube a mere 45 kilometres upstream, migration seems to favour Smederevo, whose population grows annually.
   ALEXANDER’S VILLA is superbly situated, barely 150 metres from the town centre. It has four double rooms, three bathrooms, and guests have the use of a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a TV room with a superb view. It has central heating and air conditioning. The villa is reached directly from the road. Next to the villa there is a restaurant with the best food in town at popular prices, there is also a modern gym and we must not forget the Town Hospital and the central park ‘Majdan’, a branch of which leads straight to the gates of the villa.
