[merkat, 30/11/2008] Of all restaurants in Belgrade, this one is my favorite.
The main hall is on upper floor; there are few tables at ground floor, plus summer garden (but I always go there in the winter season). The interior is completely in old Serbian cottage style: furniture is made from natural wood and shaped in style, and numerous items from everyday's country life from late 19th / early 20th century are hanged on walls and placed around very tastefully. For each interesting thing you see around you can ask your waiter - they'll be glad to explain you what it was used for. It is a real treasure consisted o

[merkat, 28/11/2008] Little Bay one would expect an exotic destination style interior, like Caribbean, Hawaii or Bali, perhaps, but none of that is true... The first thing you notice about this restaurant is gold, gold and some more gold combined with opera music coming from the stereo. If you have entered the restaurant attracted by the tasty and extremely low-priced daily menu, written with chalk, on a standing board displayed in front, it makes you wonder if you've got something wrong - maybe missed one zero in the price. But, don't worry, you're on the right place. The main characteristic of this restaurant is

[merkat, 26/11/2008] Ikki sushi bar is the first restaurant of Japanese cuisine opened in Belgrade. It is located in very center of Belgrade, surrounded by three most popular promenades: Skadarlija (bohemic quarter of Old Belgrade), Knez Mihailova and Strahinića Bana (popular "Silicon Valley"). The fact that it survives for several years now, among such strong competition (this area has the most restaurants concentrated in one place, many of them being popular, exclusive and with long tradition) go to its favor. Kalemegdan is within ten-minutes walking distance.
The ground floor of Ikki bar looks more like a caf

"Kafana" is an old word for restaurant; and "znak pitanja" means "question mark". In this region kafanas have always played very important role in socio-political and cultural life.
They were (and still are) places for making business deals, plans for solving wide range of problems, from those of personal nature to the most important issues from social and political field. That is also characteristic of kafana Znak pitanja.
The oldest Belgrade kafana was founded in 1823, during the reign of prince Milan Obrenović. It was one of his houses, which he gave to Naum Ičko, Serbian Trade Consu

[marin, 28/10/2008] Knez Mihailova is one of my favorite streets in Belgrade. Since I don't live there anymore, I never miss the opportunity to go there for a nice walk, when I'm visiting my hometown.
There is something special about this street that cannot be found elsewhere: it's always crowded with people, but not only tourists - the majority is consisted of Belgrade inhabitants. Especially when it is nice weather, cafes are full of people in the middle of working day, so it makes you wonder how come no one is at work.
The architecture of Knez Mihailova street is a mixture of classic and modern style, t

[DaniUKLondon, 26/07/2008] In the centre of Belgrade in the Old Town (Stari Grad) borough there is a pedestrian cobblestoned and lamp lit area in preservation of its historical character by the City called Skadarlija. Skadarska Street is one of the most famous streets in the City. Skadarlija itself is known as the Bohemian Quartre where poets, writers, singers and performers became synonymous with the street nearly 100 years ago. It's a modest curved wide walkway full of some of the best restaurants in Belgrade that serve traditional Serbian cooked foods, grilled foods, local spirits, desserts; and, traditional folk

[DaniUKLondon, 26/07/2008] Hram Svetog Sava is the largest Eastern Orthodox Christian cathedral in Serbia. It's the second largest in the Balkans and amongst the largest in Europe. The architectural style is Byzantine. It was decided in 1895 to build the Cathedral then planned, although construction did not begin until 1935. Construction was stopped during WWII and begun again in 1985 and will go perhaps into the next decade as it still looks fairly baren on the inside but mostly finished on the outside.
Historically speaking: St Sava was Prince Rastko Nemanjic named Sava as a young monk when he joined a monaste

[DaniUKLondon, 01/07/2008] This airport facility opened in 1962 and has recently undergone a name change from the Surcin Airport Belgrade to the Nikola Tesla Airport Belgrade. The airport code is BEG. Its located at Beograd 59, Surcin 11180 Belgrade. Land line +381 11 209 4444.

This airport services 90% of passenger and cargo business arriving and departing Serbia (GMT +1) and most likely the airport you will be using. Some

[DaniUKLondon, 28/06/2008] If it's the summertime in Belgrade and a Belgrader asks you if you've been to Ada Ciganlija, don't think he's choked on a mouthful of marbles or placed a spell upon you......, no worries......,the ‘Ada' is simply the name for a small piece of island now artificial peninsula 4 km west of the City centre and Brankov Bridge with a sort of glorified man made pond created for Belgrader's to week end from April to October.
What the place lacks in character is more than made up by the throngs (and thongs) of people watching, swimming, beach chairs, pedal boat rental, small sail craft boating, mech

[DaniUKLondon, 26/06/2008] Kalemegdan Fortress and Park are located in the city centre at the north end of the Knez Mihailova pedestrian High Street surrounded on the west and north sides by the rivers Danube and Sava. This is a partially preserved fortress and extended large park with plenty of green and leafy relaxing areas for exploring and a bit of cover from the sun or rain underneath plenty of shade trees.
The Turks called it ‘Kale' meaning field and ‘megdan' meaning battle or the Hill for Contemplation. The fortress is the oldest complex in the City. The Austrians did some building here in the 18th centur

[DaniUKLondon, 23/06/2008] The Knez Mihailova High Street centre of Belgrade is also known as Knez Mihaila. In the late 19th century influential families of commercial life built their residences here. Today consider this an essential part of sightseeing upon your arrival to Belgrade to familiarise yourself with the flavour of the city and to give yourself a centre point. There is something here for all ages, budgets and tastes. This is a pedestrian only street and therefore relaxed and you can browse at your own pace and easily spend a day here. It is ‘the' main thoroughfare comprised of restaurants, cafes, local

Museum Night is a good way to spend less money for visiting museums, but also an excellent way to spend extremely long time in waiting lines. The concept is not bad at all, but in Belgrade it attracted more people than all galleries and museums can bear. I've prepared a "conquering plan" very carefully, and chose 12 out of more than 60 attractions, estimating that we'll be able to visit at least 9 of them. Alas, we've managed to visit only 6 museums (one of them was not even in the plan, but it was worth seeing), although we started at 18:00 h sharp, and ended at 02:00, at the official closin

[merkat, 09/04/2008] The Belgrade Marathon is one Belgrade's favorite and biggest events. On Marathon's day streets are crowded with people who came to watch the race start and spend a nice day with their families and friends, take a walk and sit in many pavement cafes, while waiting for the closing ceremony. There's no traffic on the streets and weather is usually very nice, so there are many babies, children and pets running around and making this spring day even more joyful. Without usual traffic noise Belgrade becomes a pedestrian oasis. Tourists are attracted by this unconventional occasion and you can hear m

[merkat, 04/04/2008] Kuća cveća, or the House of Flowers, is the place where controversial Yugoslav president lies. From his death, 04th May 1980, over 17 millions people visited his grave. In first few years long waiting lines were everyday picture in front of the House of Flowers, but now days the number of visitors is about 15.000 people a year, but with tendency to increase. At first, it was the part of the Memorial Center Josip Broz Tito, which included his residence area (consisted of residence, the Residence, The Pool House, The Hunting Lodge, The Old Museum and, later the Memorial Collection) and museum "2

[trivago traveller, 04/04/2008] excellent location, beautiful rooms, acceptable prices.
[merkat, 03/04/2008] Konak kneginje Ljubice is one of my favorite places in Belgrade. But, first, let me explain you what this name means. The word "konak" is an old Serbian word for "residence" or "place to sleep", "kneginja" is pronounced as "kneghinya" and it is a title similar to duchess, but at that time (end of 19th century) it was the highest title, as her husband, knez Miloš Obrenović (pronounced as Milosh Obrenovich) was the sovereign of Serbia. Finally, Ljubica (Lyubitsa) is duchess name, so it means "The Residence of duchess Ljubica".
It was built in two years, 1829 - 1831, as royal residence, by ord

[merkat, 01/04/2008] Belgrade "Nikola Tesla" Airport is located some 20 km from Belgrade. Since Belgrade is a city of two million inhabitants, you would expect a much larger airport, but even this one seems to be big enough. It has only one runway, so delays of all sorts are not unexpected, but surprisingly rare. It is consisted of two buildings which are simply called Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. There is not much to see in Terminal 1, as the building is old and not so well preserved, but the good news is that you probably won't have to use it at all - since Terminal 2 was built few years ago, all passenger traffic
