Belgrade

Serbian capital with turbulent history, one of the Balkans’ key spotswhere the „melting pot“ melts the most!

Every city has its energy, being a life form on its own.What Belgrade offers is:
vibrant atmosphere on its sleepless streets, open-mindedness and hospitality. Belgrade stays awake late at night, and when awake – it is not quiet.

City’s (mainstream)

pride & joy!

Kalemegdan Fortress
and park

Strategically very important spot throughout the hectic history of Balkans

The most visited spot of the city and a large green picnic area

Beautiful view on the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers

Skadarlija,
the bohemian quarter

its history starts in 1830 with the settlement of Gypsies and continues particularly after 1901 when prominent writers and actors starting visiting to the Skadarlija inns or kafanas every night

traditional cuisine and local orquestras playing brass, traditional and gipsy music to your ear

Kosančićev venac

the oldest section of Belgrade outside the walls of the Kalemegdan fortress, covered with cobblestone and surrounded by historic buildings, a location to several movies

Kafana (bistro) Question mark

the oldest of Belgrade inns, erected in 1823 in Balkan style, had changed owners and names since 1878

first it was called “At the Shepherd’s” in 1878, then in 1892 “At the Cathedral Church” but church authorities protested so the owner put the question mark sign at the door as a temporary solution and it remained there to this day

Church of
St. Sava

the largest Orthodox church in Serbia, dominates Belgrade’s cityscape, (the exterior complete in 2017, internal decoration of the building still work in progress)

construction of the church began in 1935, 340 years after the burning of Saint Sava’s remains by the Ottomans, and on the same place where the ashes were scattered

the greatest, 40days-long achievement of the construction process was lifting of the 4,000 ton central dome
