Belgrade – city of good vibrations

Welcome to Belgrade

Belgrade is truly a metropolis. The position it has held through centuries, while standing on the crossroads of different cultures and customs, made it dinamic, hospitable and warm.
Wide boulevards and big smiles on faces of the young is what Belgrade is all about. It is its energy that will make you feel at ease and right at home.
The most famous locations in Belgrade are Knez Mihajlova and Strahinjica bana street, the Kalemegdan fortress and the bohemian quarter Skadarlija with its 19th century atmosphere.
In recent years Belgrade was given the name "the Sin city" because of a great number of theaters, museums, galleries, hotels, cafés, clubs offering fantastic fun and filled with incredibly beautiful girls. Belgrade is also well-known for excellent traditional restaurants, among which, the oldest and the most famous are legendary restaurants "Tri sesira", "Ima dana" and "Dva jelena", where guests can enjoy the famous music from Skadarlija.
After sunset, Belgrade night life transforms Belgrade into one of the most exciting cities in this part of Europe. Even the most picky visitors will be satisfied with its club scene and will find clubs scattered around the city center but also on water where very popular river rafts can be found.
Belgrade also has its own sea, the Belgrade sea as its citizens call it or Ada Ciganlija, a river peninsula on the river Sava with a huge beach making it an ideal place for sport and recreation. In 1821, Prince Milos Obrenovic declared it state and national property, whilst a famous writer Branislav Nusic, for its beauty, named it "a water flower". In summer, Ada hosts many cultural events.
