Travel Blogs from Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro
Not well enough to ride.
... first time; its huge. I've been rather poor at sightseeing; its such an effort to get around. The pavements are rough and constantly obstructed, the roads lethal and crossing the road is often difficult. So I head towards the main shopping streets and ...
Sorry Dad
... the day go by. I managed to attract the attention of a couple of guys drunk on Rakija, so decided to move along and see some more of the city. Belgrade isn't the most beautiful city in the world, but it is not without its charm. Many of the buildings are ...
Belgrade - Serbia
... cheapest country we'd been to so far for most things. We wanted to make sure we came here after our friends from Montenegro (Therese and Jovica) said we should go - it's well known for its hip night life. When you drive in, it reminded us ...
Dilema's and pondering
... a sausage roll for breakfast and a roll for lunch. Then to find the station. But I got diverted by a supermarket and got weekend food. Belgrade is a large city so the buildings are large and some rather grand. Others less so and one in particular shows ...
Back into Serbia
... get dizzy / weak spells but it improves through the afternoon and I have some food. Early in the afternoon a thunderstorm breaks out and it rains heavily for a couple of hours. Being in the hostel is quite convenient! I chat with an american girl who is ...
Belgrade again
... to be a theme repeated in the afternoon although I do manage to get some washing done. Its very hot outside. Then a tremendous thunderstorm and torrential rain rips through for a couple of hours. Finally I'm able to go for a walk and walk past Boshac and ...
Back on the road... eek
... After three weeks off the road I feel a bit like its a new trip and everything has to be relearned. The first task was exiting Belgrade; basically through the city centre, over the Danube bridge then a hard left onto a minor road along a dyke to avoid the ...
Belgrade surprises.
... is in latin. This was going to be tricky in a city of two million people. The hostel directions said go to the "Belgrade Fair" tram stop and its nearby. The address is the actual street, not the street leading to it. Well nowhere did it actually say " ...
T-shirt shopping and NATO bombing
... night and they were going to see it- Igor said I should go, but sadly I couldnt, always moving on. We got to Belgrade and I went shopping with them, got some tshirts and a Serbian black metal CD- I also saw a building which nato had destroyed and ...
Belgrade, Serbia - Do You Mr. Jones?
... was a private party, and I was even wearing a collared shirt! Come Friday, I had given up hoping to figure Belgrade out, so I went and saw "The Sirens", a glam punk band from Detroit playing at the university student center. They were kind-of amusing, ...
Wimbledon Final, dispatch to Sarajevo. NOT.
... stuff are nice, they need to make money, and get a hug from me. Julia and I were happy with the acquisitions, and were all set to say goodbye to Belgrade by nighttime. I went on to see the amazing final, hats off to A-Rod, but then Federer is the greatest ...
Evil Empire or Faded Giant?
... of injustice. Its historical role in the world is cut still further. While Travelpod still thinks we are in Serbia and Montenegro, Montenegrins have now seceded too. And when in due course the southern province becomes independent Serbia will become a ...
Better at last...
... ended but there was a road. Which lead through the shanty town; its not huge but its clearly different. Eventually reached the supermarket and was able to buy veg in small quantites but no gaz. Returning to the riverbank (where we went for a drink) and ...
Bewildered in Belgrade
... to the largest Orthodox cathedral in the world, the Temple of St. Sava. This was another one of Belgrade's oddities. It's been in construction since 1935 and they have barely touched the interior and still need to hit a few spots on the outside. For ...
Almost missed the train!!!!
... 't get it???? On board, in shock, that we got the train, we bed down for a much needed rest! We arrived early morning in Belgrade and being that we are on the whirlwind, bonus stops, overland tour of Eastern Europe (ie. we need to be in Moscow to get a ...
Days 4 and 5. Tennis, cricket, Charlie's Angels
... be a legendary night. Before the night though, I had some other plans. I had found the Belgrade Cricket Association (YES!), a club of cricket lovers from Serbia, who have pretty serious practices and some matches. I wanted in on the action, and I was ...
Still floating...
... have wheel arches. After a slow breakfast I headed off and found the entrance to a nearby supermarket (which I couldn't find yesterday) and looked around it. Same as anywhere with lots of clothes shops. Then went looking for the Sava Centre and ended up ...
(Bel)Grade-A
... North Belgrade is basically where the city was born and then spread out. So there we have the Belgrade Fortress, the military museum, Citadels, Clock Tower, and the rivers Danube and Sava beyond the fortress walls, so them invaders would have water to ...
Destination Belgrade, Day 1
... for the bus, I asked another guy waiting for the bus what the deal was. Italian guy who works between Italy and Serbia, and knew a bit of the Cyrillic alphabet and the language, read something that said because of the fucking University Olympics, the bus ...
Serbia
The tail end of another eight hour bus journey and we were flagging. Our group of backpackers descended at Belgrade bus station: sweaty, greasy apparitions of our former selves. We all peeled apart and the others went in search of water and ...
Quick stop in Belgrade before the Exit Festival
... Sad, where the EXIT festival was starting in a couple of days. I then slept like a baby for the next 2hours until we got into Belgrade. After a quietish night in Belgrade and a few more hours sleep I headed up to Novi Sad too for the EXIT festival too. ...
Shifting hostel again
... pancakes. I had a couple of slices and it was good. Sadly they were knackered as they caught the plane in the morning and the train from Budapest to Belgrade in the afternoon. But it was nice to chat; one was a fan of metal festivals so we had a chat ...

No time to pause
Arrive in Belgrad, familiar from previous visit. Sleepers available for 35 Euro. No reservation necessary. I just board train. Take late 21:00 train to Budabest. Four of us in 6 compartment car. Drunk annoying Serb finally leaves us. Good ...
Lazing in Belgrade
... go to the bakery for breakfast bread. Which turned out to be closed. Anyway I decided to take the bike to an area of Belgrade that has been converted to a beach. Basically a dammed stretch of the Danube with gravel on the edges and bars with deckchairs ...
Happy Birthday Adam!!
... ! Oops...so yes that meant the first couple of hours of my birthday were spent on a bus in Serbia - exciting huh? We arrived in Belgrade 'blind' and not knowing what to expect, the next morning we quickly were confronted with the reality that Belgrade is ...
DURING YOUR STAY IN THEIR CAPITAL
