Serbia

Things to do in Serbia

  1. A

    Brave Heart

    Heaves till late and appeals to Belgrade's young 'businessmen' and their trophy girls. It's a place to chill out with DJ music until midnight and then kick in when the live music starts up.

  2. B

    Maršal Tito's Grave

    Don't miss Maršal Tito's grave with an interesting museum of gifts (embroidery, dubious-purpose smoking pipes, saddles and weapons) given by toadying comrades and fellow travellers.

  6. F

    Bibis

    A quiet place that's a useful starter to a night out; sit over a drink and decide where to rock on to next. It's popular in winter when other barges are closed.

  8. Nešić

    Worth a visit as much to buy a squidgy cake as to appreciate the interior of this 1950s cake shop that's still spick-and-span with red leatherette bench seats.

    reviewed

  9. Kalemegdan

    For some free Sunday entertainment wander along to the Kalemegdan, where folk come to dance hand in hand the traditional way to pipe, accordion and drum.

    Tema

    A subtly lit modern bar that both young and old are welcome to linger in. Chilly days become more bearable after one of the coffees with a spirit kick.

  12. I

    Club X

    Another cruisy basement joint that's Belgrade's only gay and lesbian club. The place throbs to DJ beats, and Saturday is reputedly the best night.

    Gorki List

    Zebra-print armchairs and comfy cushions are ideal for lounging over a morning coffee, afternoon tea or evening drink. Slap bang in the centre.
