This page is constantly undergoing updates. Currently, I'm organizing all my must see tips as a walking tour of Belgrade, so I advise you to view them in Author's Order. Check back often! :)


"The sky above Belgrade is wide and high, unstable but always beautiful; even during winter serenities with their icy splendour; even during summer storms when the whole of it turns into a single gloomy cloud which, driven by the mad wind, carries the rain mixed with the dust of panonian plain; even in spring when it seems that it also blooms, along with the ground; even in autumn when it grows heavy with the autumn stars in swarms. Always beautiful and rich, as a compensation to this strange town for everything that isn't there, and a consolation because of everything that shouldn't be there"

-Ivo Andric, Nobel Prize Laureate

~QUICK INTRO~

The land at the junction of the Sava and the Danube has been inhabitated for 7000 years. The land was built into a city. A city that has held many names over the years such as Singidunum and now it is called Beograd <White City>. It was laid in ruins some sixty times, but it always rose back to its original glory. This city with a turbulent history is a vibrant party town that has charmed many visitors over time. I hope this page will allow you to see some of the things Belgrade has to offer. Happy travels!

Pros:"Belgrade is a city that never sleeps, you will find people walking about even at 3am on a weekday."
Cons:"It is becoming more expensive to visit."
In A Nutshell:"A city that has been fought over for many centuries has gotta be worth seeing!"
