Ljiljana

From Ljiljana's guidebook

Belgrade Fortress (the old citadel and Kalemegdan Park), is a historical and cultural heart of the city. Founded in 3 BC as "Singidunum," it rests on a cliff-like ridge, offering a breathtaking panorama of New and Old Belgrade at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. Throughout history, the city's population primarily lived within its walls, fortified since Celtic times. Over 100 battles fought over its imposing structure. Bestowing upon Belgrade (Београд) its name, the "White City," signifies its white walls. A mist see. Serbian Cyrillic: Београдска тврђава.

Ethos

From Ethos's guidebook

On a tall ridge where the Danube and Sava rivers meet, Belgrade Fortress used to contain the entire city and has lived through 2,000 years of conflict. All of that bloodshed seems very distant when you see the young couples arm-in-arm in Kalemegdan Park, watching the sun go down over Zemun. They’ll find perches on the ramparts and secluded cubby holes among the angular remnants of the anti-artillery bastions and ravelins built by the Ottomans in the early modern ages. There’s history at every turn in the fortress, from the Roman well to the medieval gate of Despot Stefan Lazarević. But Pobednik (Victor) is the postcard monument, a statue wielding a sword and falcon atop a Doric column. This dates to 1928 and commemorates Serbia’s defeat of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empire in WWI.

If you come for the fixture when Red Star host their cross-town rivals at the 55,000-capacity Rajko Mitić Stadium you’ll encounter possibly the most intense atmosphere of any football match in the world.

The building that houses the Historical Museum of Serbia was built as the seat of the Privileged Agrarian Bank in the period from 1932 to 1934. In its monumental and lavish architectural design, the building is one of the most valuable achievements of interwar Serbian architecture. As the main task of the Privileged Agrarian Bank was to support national agriculture with favourable credits and loans and thus strengthen the national economy, the construction of this monumental representative building in the city center was aimed at showing the reliability of the Bank’s funds and the power of the state as its founder. The design contest for the building, announced in 1931, was one of the most important architectural competitions of that time. Designs by architects received from all over the Kingdom of Yugoslavia showed a wide range of architectural and stylistic ideas, ranging from outdated academic traditionalism to progressive ideas, varying from a moderate to purified modernism and a functional aesthetics. Accordingly, this competition is considered to be one of the most important indicators of the dynamic flow of the Serbian and Yugoslav architecture of the interwar period.

Marija And Sasa

From Marija And Sasa's guidebook

This is the museum that is visible through the window. You can reach the museum by taking a short stroll through the Park of Friendship; the building's architecture is amazing. After visiting the museum you can have lunch at one of the many restaurants by the river. The "Nacionalna Klasa" restaurant is my personal favorite among them. There is a beautiful walking path next to the river where you may walk enjoying the view of Belgrade's Fortress and Kalemegdan Park which is on the other side of the river and you will see the confluence of the Sava and Danube.  Following the Second World War, Yugoslavia had a strong strategy for the development of national identity through culture. One of the modes of realization of this goal was the announcement of a competition for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, at an attractive location, in the vicinity of the confluence of the Sava River and the Danube. The winning proposal was designed by a team of two – Ivan Antic and Ivanka Raspopovic. Four years after the competition’s announcement, in 1965, Belgrade was enriched with a piece of architecture, which proved in following decades to be a true representation of society’s hope and vision. The building of the Museum of Contemporary Art was recognized by the public immediately after the completion of the construction. Architects Antić and Raspopović were awarded the October Award of the City of Belgrade for Architecture, and today this building belongs to the register of cultural assets of the Serbian capital.

My favorite Serbian traditional dishes restaurant, within the walking distance of Square 59 apartment! Full recommendation! Serbian and Hercegovina traditional dishes. This is a cult restaurant with a wide range of specially selected and prepared specialties. In this Belgrade restaurant, you must try a traditional meal called Raštan (it is a plant from the cabbage family which grows in areas of southern Hercegovina and Dalmatia, which is cooked with meat and it is a traditional specialty). Also we suggest goat cheese served with cooked potatoes prepared in biletian way, prosciutto from Hercegovina and cheese from Zubac. Beside food the restaurant offers famous Hercegovinian wines such as “Žilavka” wine from the cellar Anđelić, Ratković and Vukoje and famous red wine product of the Orthodox monastery.

Uros

From Uros's guidebook

Bars and cafes in the city are found almost everywhere, but there are few places that deviate from the usual look and design that most cafes have. So when you want to break the monotony and visit some unusual place to enjoy with a relaxed atmosphere where you can take a break, visit Dorćol and the old town center where there is an exotic combination of cafe and gallery. I'm talking about the Blaznavac bar, which has been attracting visitors for years with its unique concept. The cafe gallery was named after the former owner of the house, Živojin Blaznavac, who was a general and prime minister during the 19th century. You can stop here for a morning coffee, to refresh yourself during the day or in the evening when attractive parties and good concerts are often organized. Although it is located in the center of Belgrade, it is a bit isolated and if it were not so famous, it would be one of those mysterious places that if you happened to find it, you would probably be very happy. Behind the fence, typical of the old houses of this region, there is a wonderful garden with bricks and white stones, which is surrounded by walls and objects of bright and bright colors. This wonderful garden with beautiful decor is reserved mainly for warm days when it's a real vacation to sit here in the shade, surrounded by greenery and enjoy your favorite drink, while feeling how this place sends positive energy. What should be emphasized is that Blaznavac is known for its phenomenal cocktails, and that the very friendly staff is there to help you choose the appropriate refreshment. In addition to cocktails, mulled wine is very popular in the winter, and guests are also offered the unique "Blaznavac" cake, while homemade baklava and party favors are highly recommended.

Andrea

From Andrea's guidebook

Part-cafe, part-bar, part-wonderfully-wacky-gallery, this pocket-sized place is one of the city's best spots for pre-drink drinks. Plastered with murals and quirky collectables, it's used as an exhibition space for young artists. It also hosts live music and spoken-word events. Blaznavac's appeal isn't limited to night-time jams and cocktails: it's charming for coffee or a snack.

Today one of the largest and well-maintained parks in Belgrade, Tasmajdan (or Tas as it’s lovingly known by the people of Belgrade) is located near the church of St. Marco and just off one of the largest streets in Belgrade, the King Alexander’s boulevard.

In the broader sense of the name, “Tasmajdan” includes a much larger area than just the park. It stretches all the way between the streets Ilija Garasanin and 27th March up to Belgrade and Carnegie streets. All in all, this is a great area to spend free time and yet still be near all the important transportation connections in case you need to hurry off somewhere.

The most beautiful and biggest park in Belgrade, which is also the most important cultural and historical complex, in which the Belgrade Fortress stands high above the Sava and Danube confluence. The name Kalemegdan applies only to the spacious plateau surrounding the Fortress, which was turned into a park in the eighties of the XIX century. When the Fortress served as Belgrade's chief military stronghold, the plateau was a place from which the enemy was kept under observation and where preparations were made for combats. Its name derives from the Turkish words kale (fort) and megdan (field). The Turks also called it Fichir-bair, which means "the contemplation hill".

Aleksandar

From Aleksandar's guidebook

BARS: Centrala is Belgrade classic. Located at Simina 6 in upper Dorćol, right in the heart of Belgrade. Here one gets a feel for the true spirit of the city. Centrala looks like a big window from the outside and the interior is a bit retro. There is no internet or fancy drinks, because this place simply doesn’t need that sort of thing. It reflects the spirit of past times, when things like that didn’t matter. This is a very popular bar indeed. Ventil is classic Dorćol. It’s located in Kapetan Mišina at number 14, in a basement that becomes crowded with the younger generation. It can be pretty loud, and is the perfect place for drinking beer and eating peanuts..

Marijana

From Marijana's guidebook

We won’t lie and say that every single street is a winner, as that clearly isn’t the case. We have no problem saying that Dorćol is Belgrade’s most fascinating neighbourhood however. Regarded as a bit of a ‘no-go area’ during Serbia’s difficult ‘90s, the downtown district has blossomed into a treasure trove of cafes, restaurants, shops and murals, including a host of interesting street art dedications to national and international heroes.

At the southern end of Knez Mihailova is Republic Square, with some of the city’s most important landmarks and a business district where Belgrade is at its most dynamic. More than 20 trolleybus and bus lines converge at this one place, so it’s the meet-up of choice for many Belgradians. The Serbian National Theatre and National Museum are here, as is the Prince Mihailo Monument. Designed by the Italian sculptor Enrico Pazzi, this statue is of Mihailo Obrenović, Prince of Serbia twice in the mid-1800s and a key figure in the Balkans’ independence from the Ottoman Empire.

Republic Square, the main meeting place in Belgrade, is the starting point of the city tour. The square, as a cultural and social hub of Belgrade, where the past meets the present, is the place where the youth gathers and where concerts and events are held. It is surrounded by historical buildings - the National Theatre, built emulating La Scala in Milan, Riunione Palace housing Boško Buha Theatre and the monumental edifice of the National Museum, the largest and oldest Serbian museum.

If your Belgrade friends ask you to meet them in the city centre, more precisely at “the Horse”, then what they mean by that is just that – look for the Horse. But there is a surprise for you there, because there is no stable or stall in the city centre whatsoever. It is just the conspicuous statue of Prince Mihailo Obrenovic riding on horseback. This square is officially called Republic Square and it represents the very heart of the city and also a historical spot where for example many protests and riots have happened among other things.

Skadarlija The old bohemian quarter of Belgrade dates back to late 19th and early 20th century. It was back then when its kafane (taverns and restaurants) were a meeting place for many of the greatest figures of the cultural scene of the period. It is often compared with the Montmartre in Paris, both for its appearance and the cheerful, vigorous artists' atmosphere, bringing along the bohemian lifestyle and spirit. Skadarlija and the surrounding streets were home to 14 cafe-restaurants at the end of 19th century, a fact advertised in the Guide through Belgrade in 1909, when the population of the Serbian capital was just 90,000. Skadarlija recently offered its hospitality to world famous people who enjoyed the summer scent of the linden tree in bloom, freshly watered cobblestones, selected dishes of Serbian cuisine and the greatest specialty of Serbia: the atmosphere. The significant cafe-restaurants of Skadarlija, such as Tri šešira, Dva jelena, Dva bela goluba, Velika Skadarlija, Zlatni bokal, Ima dana and Šešir moj, are worthy successors of the former Skadarlija.
