Kralja Petra 56 Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro, 11000, 11-263-4222
Hotel: Royal Dec 28th Sites: Kalenegdan, Orthodox Churches Dinner: Sesir Moj Wine: Vravnac 2004, Plantaze The sign outside Sesir Moj says old Belgrade ambiance, traditional food and gypsy music. We received all three, but not in equal measure. We were seated next to a very large party of Belgraders celebrating something. They had hired the house band and were by all appearances working their way through the entire Serbian song book. We found the entire evening very entertaining, even though w...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro jeffandmarieMention to a media-influenced person that you're heading off on a trip to Belgrade might prompt them to question why on earth your choice of holiday destination would be a place with such a conflict-tarnished past. The answer to all of this is plain and simple - it is nothing short of fascinating and fulfilling to see the extent to which the locals in Serbia have turned their whole lifestyles around in the wake of a troubled history, and witnessing their path along the ever-ongoing recovery p...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro jollyjetsetterAfter FINALLY arriving in Belgrade, when I almost couldn't believe the train ride was really over, I went out into the street to look for a cab, as it was now well past dark and not the time to be exploring Belgrade's public transport system on my own. I knew enough to cross the street to find a non-mafia cab, so was surprised when I flagged down a cab across the intersection from the station and he slowed for a second and then sped up and drove on. What did I do? I wondered. Then I turned ar...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro vanessabThis was easily one of the nicest cities i've ever been. Very easy and cheap to move around. Lots of nice restaurants and they ALL had a great value.Take one street off from the main streets and you will find lots and lots of nice small restaurants.Although one thing was "missing".There were only a couple of pubs.People were drinking at the restaurants,cafes and even before the fast food kiosks. People were very open and kind.It was very hard to imagine that this was the same country that jus...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro yeltzin
... I struggled as everything is in cyrillic and I've definitely crossed some sort of imaginery cultural line, not only with the language but the people look different (darker and more wearied)... I had a madcap taxi ride from the station to my hostel, the driver spoke no english, but kept checking if I was ok? ok? and for obvious reasons, he took no prisoners, pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes, trams, buses ...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro travellingjen... when we emigrated to the US of A baby!!! very awesome experience, because i did not intend on doing this, and the only reason i knew what the name of the campsite was, because my mom had mentioned it randomly a couple months before my trip, AWESOME!
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro bsmidaDistance 0 Three Rest days Belgrade Ok, it rained again on the first day (and second) but at least I was under a very large umbrella supping tea at a cafe when the rain first set in. I will update this page properly once I have finished my stay here. Highlights so far include: Ice cream on tap. Belgrade annual bike ride through the city . It was kind of fun, even when I picked up a few eccentrics on ...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro springy100... journey in and out was precisely zero. We had tried to purchase tickets from the bus driver on the way in and he just waved us inside so on the way back we didn't even bother. I did have a few nervous moments about what we would say to a ticket inspector, but it never happened, so we were lucky. We spent the remainder of the dinar we had taken out of the airport ATM at the chocolate shop in the airport. When we reached Sarajevo it was almost ten at night. Halvat Guest House, where ...
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro guykb... to visit the pedestrian street, Kneza Mihailova and have a very medium tasting pizza down in a touristy street, with nice cobbled stones though. Name has escaped me. Also visited Strahinjica Bana, a street with lots of bars and good nightlife. Spent some time on bar called Pastis, recommended. But more in future entries, when I know the place more.
Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro yfjell... about being American (foreign in general) here. While you at times run into the anti-American, anti-NATO sentiments, mostly it is interest and intrigue. Exotic in our willingness to venture into the wilds of the club-culture or our willingness to eat one of a thousand kinds of spicy meat--I have experienced a hospitality absent in the other great cities of Europe, a welcome that draws you in and refuses to ...
