Belgrade

Nestled between the Sava and Danube Rivers, Belgrade is a gem of a city full of passion, finesse and grandiosity. The heart of the city is filled with interesting bookshops, world-class restaurants, eclectic galleries and dazzling architecture, and the streets always seem to be filled with people. The capital’s ultimate appeal is its lively nightlife, but the days in Belgrade are filled with wonderful opportunities for exploring the many stimulating museums, charming parks and distinct neighbourhoods.

The city’s many theatres, museums, monuments and opera houses boast a deep and fissured cultural life while the beaches and rivers attract sunbathers, sports enthusiasts and partygoers on the popular floating river barges that serve as nightclubs.
