  2. Nikola Tesla Museum

    One of Belgrade's more interesting museums is the Nikola Tesla Museum dedicated to one of Serbia's few heroes, the man who discovered alternating current. Apart from demonstrations of Tesla's fascinating inventions, the big thrill is when the curator turns on a high-frequency oscillator that lights up the (unconnected) fluorescent tube you're gingerly holding in your hand. Shades of Star Wars' light sabres!

  3. Palace of Princess Ljubice

    The Palace of Princess Ljubice is a Balkan-style palace built for the wife of Prince Miloš in 1831. Mostly, it's a collection of period furnishings, carpets and paintings but it desperately needs the addition of personal items to bring out how the princess led her life. To one side is a little hammam (Turkish bath), where the princess would have had steam baths and massages, and were she a woman of today, her yoga or Pilates class.
