Belgrade Holidays

Step into the vibrant heart of Serbia, where history, culture, and a lively spirit take over. Lose yourself in the charming, cobbled streets of the must-visit bohemian quarter, Skadarlija, as the sound of live music and aroma of Serbian dishes waft through the air.

Known as the artistic and cultural hub of Belgrade, this hot spot gives Montmartre, Paris a run for its money! Marvel at the magnificent Belgrade Fortress, boasting breathtaking views of the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers - a symbol of resilience, whose ancient walls guard a sprawling park that awaits to lavish you with its lush greenery and open-air galleries. Wander the lively Knez Mihailova Street, lined with enticing shops, cafes, and street performers. And hit the city's pulsating nightlife in the underground bars or floating river clubs along the banks of the Sava and Danube, where the music and energy will keep you dancing until the early hours.

Whether you’re exploring the myriad of museums, losing track of time at the urban oasis of Ada Ciganlija or dining at a riverfront restaurant with a traditional glass of rakija (fruit brandy), Belgrade plays a favourite beat for everyone.
