Write your answer in 140-190 words in an appropriate style.

Dear Jack,

Thanks for your email and I'm delighted you and your friends are finally coming to Belgrade.

Let me start by telling you about the best places and things you should definitely see and do. Apart from the usual sightseeing around Belgrade, Avala Tower is a must. It's a symbol of our town with a viewpoint and a restaurant at the very top. Also, I highly recommend you to experience Belgrade's famous nightlife which is unforgettable.

You asked about transport. Well, I think our public transport is much better than before, although hiring a bike is cheaper, but there is a lot of traffic in the city, so it's not a very safe way to get around.

There are lots of different museums you should visit, however, I must take you to the Nikola Tesla museum - he was the Serb who invented the electricity and there are some spectacular interactive exhibits.

Must dash now - I have to study! Write soon and let me know when you are coming!

Lots of love,

Angela
