4 Bulevar Mihajla PupinaThe kilometer-long boulevard is surely one of the most beautiful pedestrian zones in southeastern Europe. There are plenty of shops as well as the most expensive flats in the town. Who wouldn’t like to have address on the prettiest of Belgrade’s street?
It is really a nice walk down the Kneza Mihailova. The restaurants and cafes with huge umbrellas are inviting. No matter what time of day it is, there are always plenty of people passing by. This is also where many street artists perform; you might even walk into a random guy with cobra wrapped around his neck (!)
TIP: Stroll the Kneza Mihailova in the evening, when the atmosphere is more romantic.

7 RankeovaThis cobblestone street is legendary. Writers and poets once flocked here, it gaining it the reputation as the bohemian center of the city. With all the rapid post-war rebuilding that has taken place in Belgrade, it hard to find as picturesque a street as Skadarlija is.
Thanks to its atmosphere, Skadarlija is usually compared to Montmartre in Paris. It’s an amazing place to spend an evening; you can find here some of the best restaurants to try local Serbian food. Plus, local live bands can often be found performing traditional music here.
A bunch of nice restaurants can also be found in Skadarlija. Nearly every choice is a good one around there–go for Maly Vrabac if the choice is too much for you to handle. They are just great and serve food in big portions.
Serbian national cuisine is in fact a mix of food from all over the Balkans–it has characteristics from various countries of the former Yugoslavia. The national dishes you should definitely try in Serbia include ćevapi (grilled minced meat) and plejskavica (dish similar to burger). As for drinks, have a shot of plum brandy (šljivovica) or rakija, a kind of fruit brandy.

Sightseeing
When Belgraders make plans to meet, their choice location is usually “at the Horse,” a reference to Republic Square, which is dominated by a statue of Mihailo Obrenovic, the Serbian Prince that freed Serbia from the Ottoman Empire, atop a horse.
Republic square is surrounded by beautiful historical buildings such as the National Theatre and National Museum. The square point from which to orient yourself when navigating the city. You can easily reach Terezije a Knez Mihailova street from here.
TIP: If you want to relax, I recommend you stop by Student Park (Studentski Park), about a 5-minute walk from Republic Square. There are plenty of benches to sit on and for some reason I really love this place

The historical complex of Kelemegdan is the oldest monument in Belegrade. This is the place were Celtic tribes first settled in the 4th century BC.
Due to its strategic location, the fortress was always a target for various invaders that wanted to rule the region. Despite this traumatic past, the building is now a popular leisure destination for local Belgraders. The surrounding 30-hectare park is stunning, and offers a fine vantage point for stunning sunsets.
TIP: Make sure to observe the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers and the statue of Pobednik (Winner), one of the symbols of Belgrade. Next to the fortress, an outdoor collection of historical canons lines the outer wall of the Military Museum.

This white marble building overlooking the city from the quarter of Vračar is the biggest orthodox church in the Balkans, and one of the biggest on earth. As many as 10,700 people can fit inside this monumental building.
The walls inside the St. Sava church are unattractively covered by scaffolding–the church had been patiently awaiting its completion since 1936, when construction officially began. Work on the interior is still in progress, but the northern section is still open to both worshippers and visitors alike.
TIP: Take a good look up at the church’s dome. It is quite special as it was built separately (weighing an impressive 4000 tons), and lifting it up to the roof took a full 20 days. Quite amazing, huh?
