What to do in Belgrade

Kalemegdan is our medivial fortress, and also a park, which is free to enter. There are many shops, museum, people walking running, dogs, cats, squirrels. Also, Victor – Belgrade’s main attratcion. 

Really, so many things to say about Kalemegdan, it would be really silly not to see it. 

This used to be bohemian quter, a place where you could meet in person the most famous serbian poets, artists, and other drunk people. It was like that untill you foreigners took it over. 

Just kidding, Skadarlija is one of the oldest streets in Belgrade, filled with wonderful restaurants and night clubs. It looks great, food and drinks are awesome, it’s not too expensive, and you can hear authentic serbian music. 

Splavovi are somewhat like boats on the river, except they are not going anywhere, and everybody is going there. If you are a party animal, you don’t want to miss splavovi. They can be found pretty much anywhere, on the coasts of both rivers, but try those around Branko’s bridge. Pro tip: just go there, and jump on the splav where you like the music. They all play something different. 

 Belgrade’s national museum has been opened in 2018. after it has been closed for 15 years. If you are an art lover, believe us, it was worth waiting. We have really rich history, since whole Balkan region was in war from ever since – feels like always – and you know how they say – history of man kind is history of war. Still, in this museum you will only see art.

Yeah, we know it’s a weird icon for National assembly, but that assembly is weird as well. Try not to thnik about politics in Serbia, and you will see one of the most beautiful building in Belgrade. 

Zemun is a part of Belgrade, but people from Zemun usually consider themselves independent. And in one hand they are absoultley right. For most part of it’s history Zemun was independent from Belgrade, although it’s just across the river from Kalemegdan. Google that a little bit, and you will be amazed. Try doing so, while drinking wine in one of Zemun’s amazing restaurants, on the coast of Danube. 

During all of the wars that affected Belgrade, people, and many armies had that need to build underground tunnels, caves, and who knows what else. There are legends saying that there were tunnel beatween Kalemegdan and Zemun. There are guided tours very usually on weekends, where you can see some of the interesting parts, and drink wine in one old cellar in the end. 

You most probably don’t know the difference beatween Serbia and Croatia. Neither do we, but both people claim that Nikola Tesla was their’s nationality. We believe that mr. Tesla, the greatest geek who ever lived didn’t have particular nationality, nor that he cared about that. However, there is a really amazing museum of his in Belgrade, and you might wanna check it out.

Nobody in Belgrade will ask you if you are jewish, muslim, or christian, and they all have their sacred spaces and churches. But still, St. Sava was our first mass educator, and this temple is one of the biggest orthodox temples in the world.
Also, in Serbia, you can find even budhist temple, about an hour drive from Belgrade.
