About Serbia

Fall in love with tastes of Belgrade

You can enjoy famous burek (and a whole lot more of other pastries) for just 2 EUR. Or revel in delicious meals in fancy restaurants that won’t cost you more than 20 EUR per person. In fact, it’ll be hard to decide what to eat because Belgrade offers a plethora of choices to every liking.

It is most famous for its grilled meat specialties, like pljeskavica and cevapi (grilled minced meat), sarma (originally a Turkish specialty), gibanica (meat and cheese pies) and kajmak (unpasteurized creamy cheese).

As for drinks, Serbs are proud of their local wines and rakija (40% + alcohol schnapps, considered a national drink, not for the faint-hearted).

But Belgrade is a metropolitan city and you can also find exceptional pizza, Mexican food, Chinese restaurants, Middle Eastern cuisine, Sushi bars, vegetarian places, a great river fish dishes by the Danube at more than affordable prices.

Relax and rejuvenate at low cost

The doctors and staff in the clinics we work with make sure your dental works and smile makeovers are as comfortable as possible.

Yet, you might enjoy a nice day in a sauna, a relaxing massage or another spa treatment more than the usual tourist tours.

And Belgrade is well-packed with wellness salons and spa centers. You can get a full body massage of your choice for less than 20 EUR and an hour in a sauna for a little over 10 EUR.

The street ends with Kalemegdan park, one of the biggest urban green areas in Belgrade. It stretches around the city fortress (The Citadelle). And the fortress rises above the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube. It goes without saying; the view is phenomenal.

History lovers will find the Citadelle interesting - the fortress is as old as Belgrade itself. Built around 279 BC it was an object of many battles among the Romans, Celts, Turks, and many others.

But, Kalemegdan is also the home of Belgrade Zoo, Military Museum, Museum of Natural History, Planetarium, the lovely Church Ruzica, and so much more.

When you get tired from walking the downtown Belgrade, its crowd and vigor, the Belgrade bohemian quarter, Skadarska street or Skadarlija is the place to visit. Paved with cobblestones, with iron gaslights and romantic atmosphere, it conjures the atmosphere of the 1900s.

It’s the time when the most famous Serbian poets, actors, singers, and artists gathered in the street’s restaurants (kafane), drank (mostly wine and rakija), socialized and sometimes created their art until sunrise.

The most famous restaurants in the street are Tri Sesira, Dva Jelena, Ima dana, but being popular with the tourists they’re not as affordable as they used to be.

Those interested in churches and religion will soon learn how proud Belgradians are of their Saint Sava temple, one of the greatest (if not the greatest) orthodox churches in the Balkans. A beautiful park and a plateau, amid the most charming area of Vracar, surround the white, marble church, making it one of the most beautiful places to see in Belgrade.

Another church worth the visit, the Cathedral Church of St. Michael the Archangel, sits in the old part of the city. It’s built between 1837 and 1840. Apart from its interesting architecture, the church played an important role in the fight for independence from the Ottoman empire.

In the middle of lush and wide Tašmajdan park, where children from all over the city come to play, there’s yet another notable religious monument worth seeing, St. Marko church.
