but the truth. We are not only referring to the well-known
Serbian hospitality that seems to grow with the number of kilometers our
guest has made to come to Belgrade. Belgrade is an unusual mosaic built up by
centuries of overlapping civilizations in which everyone finds at least
something that reminds him of home, obviously wrapped up in the inimitable
Belgrade charm. There is no place in the world
with such a natural combination of oriental passion and European finesse.
Having stood on the path of many conquests going both from the East and from
the West, Belgrade has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and does not have the continuity of style and the elegance of
similar European big cities. On the other hand, it has abundant vitality,
sense of humor, curiosity. That’s why you will never get bored in Belgrade! We Recommend: City Center A walk through the city center
includes: Square of the Republic The Kalemegdan Fortress Places to see: Victor Monument,
Military Museum, Kalemegdan Park, Gratitude to France Monument, Belgrade Zoo.
If you wish to enjoy the beautiful view over the confluence of the rivers Sava
and Danube, we recommend dinner in a famous restaurant Kalemegdan Terrace.
Old Belgrade The oldest parts of the
historic centre of the town nestle directly against Kalemegdan. From the 19th
century on, the administrative and political centre of Serbia in the time of
Prince Miloš gradually developed here. In the area: the Orthodox Cathedral of
St. Micheal the Archangel, Patriarchate, Palace of Princess Ljubica, Manak's
House, Old National Library. We also recommend one of the cafés in Kosančićev venac Street, where you can enjoy the
beautiful sunset. The ? (Question Mark) Inn (Kafana) The ? (Question Mark) Inn is the oldest (1823) inn in Belgrade, located in downtown area (Kralja
Petra I Street, No. 6). Skadarlija Skadarlija is famous for its
many inns and cafés, as well as for a vivid life both during day and night.
After a pleasant walk down Skadarlija cobblestone, you can enjoy traditional
Serbian food in one of the many restaurants, from which we recommend Dva
jelena (Two Deer), Tri šešira (Three Hats), Putujući
glumac (Traveling Actor)... St. Sava Temple Located in the eastern part of
St. Sava Square, the temple stands as the biggest religious monument in
Belgrade, as well as atBalkan Peninsula, visible from every part of the
city. It is dedicated to St. Sava, Serbian prince, first Serbian enlightener
and first Serbian archbishop from 13th Century. In this pedestrian
area, around the park, you can see the
building of Serbian National Library and the monument to Duke (Vožd) Karadjordje. History : : Facts about Belgrade : : Sights : : Culture and Art : : Religion : : Money in Circulation
