Lake Ada Ciganlija
An underrated GEM in city center, if you ask me. It's often overlooked because it's small but ‘Jevremovac’ can truly be an escape from all the rush hours and crowds. I had a university project here while i was studying architecture in Belgrade so I'v...
'Jevremovac' Botanical Garden
Avala tower is located a bit outside out of Belgrade but don't let that discourage you! It's nicely connected via public transport and if you chose you can visit it with tour guides. This is a truly cool experience and the views are absolutely crazy....

Nearby Avala tower you can explore the monument of the Unknown here - sculptural masterpiece by one of serbia's leading architects Bogdan Bogdanovic. Can't really explain it but the vibes here are immaculate. It's both intimidating and peaceful which...

Bars
Serbian people are famous for their liquor so while visiting, take some time to enjoy Belgrade's city culture & nightlife! I picked some top places where you can both try excellent cocktails and good rakija!
The best bar in Skadarlija! If you happen to be there and want to have a drink, Red Bar is perfect for any type of cocktail & rakija! You might need reservations on weekends because it is a popular bar, but for a REASON!
Red Bar
The coolest bar in summertime, located on Kalemegdan fortress. It also throws amazing parties every wednesday called 'Sexy Wednesday"! Good vibes, exquisite cocktails & awesome location near Knez Mihailova street and city center!
Boho Bar
Now this might seem like a regular bar but actually Deli&Deli hosts every Friday their cocktail workshop! You can learn how to make some of their signature cocktails! My best friend took me and two of her friends here and we had an awesome time! ...
Deli & Deli Cocktails
Amazing place if you are a fan of beer. You actually pay for tokens, which you later use to get beer. It gives a very gigantic family barbecue vibe. You can also have some food here but people mainly focus on all the different kinds of beer they can ...
Docker Brewery & Beer Garden
Probably one of the most popular, if not most popular, cocktail bar in Belgrade. Located in Dorcol district, Blaznavac offers a variety of different cocktails. The bar is very colorful, the vibes are awesome and there is always a lot of people. Been ...
Blaznavac Cocktail Bar
Another cute bar near the city center. Again variety of awesome cocktails and very friendly bartenders. The bar is quite small so if you choose this one make sure to get a reservation!
Central Bar
This is a very lowkey bar, not extremely popular among the people but very appreciated amongst cocktail lovers. Might be a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Very exclusive with cool mysterious vibes.
Belgrade Cocktail Club
Restaurants
Serbian cuisine is very famous internationally because it can be quite strong, but i have never met someone who didn't like it. Our cuisine is heavily inspired by Turks but with our own little twist on it. I conducted this section with my father beca...
National treasure if you ask any serb about this place. It's the oldest restaurant in Belgrade, being 200 years old! Besides being the national heritage this restaurant offers a unique experience of authentic serbian cuisine, so for your first time i...
Kafana '?'
This restaurant is famous for its clients who would come here and have lunches-many famous serbian politicans, athlets, writers…It's very famous and offers a variety of different foods with a serbian twistt!
Prolece
A more modern type of restaurant, located in Novi Beograd, ‘Durmitor’ offers high quality serbian dishes and excellent staff. You might need a reservation since i tends to be full.
Durmitor
This restaurant is quite close to my heart because it is right next to my faculty where i studied architecture. We celebrated my Master's degree here and had a wonderful time. A lot of my proffesseurs love to come here for lunch or dinner, so i would...
Orasac
The literal meaning of this place is ‘Sebian restaurant’ so you know they are serious about serbian culinary heritage. Wide option range, nice ambiance & friendly staff are all qualities of this place. It's located near the city center and it's a...

Clubs
Belgrade is famous for it's nightlife so if you get to chance, make sure to pick one night out of your trip for going out & partying! You really won't be disappointed as Belgrade offers A VARIETY of clubs with different vibes. Whatever you are looking for you will find!
Very popular, always super crowded, most visited club. It has awesome vibes, cool interior and a lot of foreign (internationally popular) music. You can hear a sprinkle of serbian music here and there but DJ mostly focus on rap, hip-hop & R&B...
Leto
Similar as ‘Leto’ but the focus is much more on foreign music. This is a go-to place for tourist who come to Belgrade to party. Also quite exclusive, it's open only in autumn/winter time.
The Bank Club
Sister club to the ‘Bank’ club, if you couldn't tell by name. It's open only in summertime and it has the exact same vibes as ‘Bank’ but if you ask me - parties are always better here.
Money
This is for more mainstream serbian music listeners but it can also provide amazing parties. It's also considered a bit cheaper so if you want a budget friendly night out ‘Tag’ is the way to go.
TAG Nightclub
Never been here but only heard stories and legends about epic parties that took place here. If you ever visit this place please let me know how it was.
Mr. Stefan Braun
As the name says, this club is open only in winter time but it remains as one of the most popular clubs in Belgrade. It's mostly centered around serbian music but i have seen many times different tourist really enjoying the vibes and the music, so gi...

Accomodation
Whenever we have some family members coming to visit us, we always use booking to find the perfect accomodation for them, since we don't always have room for everyone. Our main priorities when finding tha accomodation are - good location, peacefull n...& clean apartment!
Located in district Dorcol, this cute little apartment is only 10 minutes away from the riverside of Danube. Located in a very peaceful neighborhood, this apartment has everything you need!
Cozy Corner
I must say that the name they chose suits their apartment very well. It's located near popular shopping mall Usce, and it's 1km away from city center. One of the more affordable but very good bookings we found!
Perfect Place To Stay
This is apartment has the highest possible score for its location right next to temple of Saint Sava! Located in Vracar you will be close to all the sights you need to see!

Another great place for up to 4 people! Located near Knez Mihailova, this apartment is an excellent starting point!

Other cool places to check out
Belgrade is filled without beautiful streets and districts that can often be overlooked! Here are some of my favorite ones that i think you would love!
The most beautiful street in Belgrade, filled with restaurants, bars & music. If you can, visit it at night so you can truly see how lively it can get!
Skadarlija
Similar to Skadarlija, but more lowkey with less bars and cafes and stunning view of Danube river.
Kosančićev Venac

Another really cool place with a similar concept like Beton hala. Silosi was an old fabric that was transformed now into a cultural district that often hosts parties. There are different kinds of food fests going on here and the vibes are immaculate....
Silosi
Newest addition to the city. It's not serving anything really serbian or of cultural value but Belgrade Waterfront is fun and quite popular among tourist. It has the Belgrade's biggest shopping mall Galerija and the most luxurious hotel St Regis. It'... local cafe.
