Niš is a small city in Southern Serbia with 250.000 inhabitants. It is a nice place to stay overnight. It is on the main high-way between Belgrade and Skopje, as well as between Belagrade and Sofia. If you're coming from Belgrade, on your way to Istanbul, it might be easier though to hitch straight to Sofia, and to get a ride towards Sofia at the last toll-station just before Nis, as it is only 190km further.
