Niš is an administrative, economic and cultural centre of the south-east Serbia, some 240 km to the south from Belgrade and 150 km to the west from Sofia. Niš stands on the site of the Roman settlement of Naissus, the birthplace of the Emperor Constantine the Great, in the valley of river Nišava.
As a traffic crossroad of European roads and railroads, together with an airport, it can easily be reached from all directions. The international highway E-75, stretching from the north, forks at Niš to the southern direction, towards Athens, and to the eastern direction, towards Istanbul and further to the Near East.
