This city showed us that it is not only the first impression that counts.We arrived at the train station that resembled a old unused rail track. We started walking towards our booked Airbnb with all our luggage – our backpacks, that is. After 40 minutes march past bombed houses (assumption of the author) as well as architecturally quite awesome buildings, green parks and busy streets, we arrived at Knez Ruzveltova number 13. The street is named after Franklin D. Roosevelt. Our Airbnb turned out to be a real bijou. The hosts had completely renovated it, giving it a rather personal style with lots of useful and creative small things. We recommend Alex and Vlada’s Airbnb to anyone who would like to explore the city of Belgrade.
During the following two days, we walked probably a few dozen kilometers – at least. I think this is the best way to explore Belgrade. On one street corner it looks like twenty years ago and right next door you’ll find a new concept store that somehow doesn’t fit in the neighborhood – or does it? The Donau and the Sava river are joining in Belgrade, which can be seen best from the fort. The Serbs build a really nice park out of this old fort and it’s surroundings. This green area appears to be very popular with the locals. We bumped into a free concert in the park one evening that we really enjoyed. The groove and vibes in this city are very cool. There are many street musicians downtown which really know how to play music.
Another highlight is the food: Meat is very common, and they have bakeries you can only dream of. The highlight was a burger at the Burger House.
Dear Angi, Cello and Brünu, this burger would have blown our rating scale away! We loved the concept and style of this place: Young and creative people, delivering a great product with very simple tools.
