Your flight to Belgrade takes you to the banks of the river Danube and Serbia’s historic capital, founded back in the 3rd century BC. Explore the Stari Grad (Old Town) and Belgrade’s Kalemegdan Fortress. Step back in time at Belgrade’s Ethnographic Museum to discover ancient tombs, traditional crafts and costumes. Mix with the locals of Belgrade on Kneza Mihaila, a vibrant pedestrianised area filled with bars, shops and cafés. Find a city retreat in Kalemegdan Park with panoramic views over Belgrade. Or go hiking around Mount Avala, 18km south of Belgrade, offering spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. Locals in Belgrade love their meat dishes and Raznjici (pork or veal shish kebabs) are very popular. At dinner try the sarma (minced beef with rice and cabbage). Don’t miss the chance to try the apple or cherry strudla (strudels) for desert and sample the white wines from the Sremski Karlovci region. |
