With a population of just 66,688, Kraljevo is a small city in central Serbia. The good news is that housing and living costs are relatively affordable, but the bureaucracy can be a persistent headache. The city sits in a valley between two mountain ranges, which creates a climate prone to earthquakes - a 5.4 magnitude quake struck in 2010, killing two and injuring over 100. While Kraljevo has a rich history, including seven Serbian kings crowned in the Žiča monastery, its modest size and earthquake risk make it best suited for adventure-seeking expats looking to experience authentic Serbian culture on a budget.
