Take a moment to absorb the lively atmosphere, surrounded by elegant 19th-century buildings. From here, stroll 5 minutes north along Knez Mihailova Street, a pedestrianised boulevard lined with shops, cafés, and historic façades.
Head to Café Moskva (Terazije 20), a 10-minute walk, located in the iconic Hotel Moskva. This historic café, with its Austro-Hungarian charm, is perfect for a quick coffee or pastry, like a krempita (custard slice). It’s a no-reservations spot, so arrive early to enjoy its elegant ambience and affordable bites.
Continue 10 minutes east to Skadarlija, Belgrade’s bohemian quarter, often called the “Montmartre of Belgrade.
” Wander its cobblestone streets, lined with colourful buildings and traditional kafanas. Pop into Tri Šešira (Skadarska 29), a legendary restaurant serving hearty Serbian dishes like ćevapi or goulash. It’s affordable, no bookings needed, get there early for a table and soak up the 19th-century vibe.
Next, walk 15 minutes north to Kalemegdan Fortress, Belgrade’s historic heart, perched above the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. Explore the fortress grounds, with their ancient walls, cannons, and panoramic views (free entry). Spend about 30 minutes strolling through the park and visiting the Victor Monument, an iconic symbol of the city.
From Kalemegdan, head 10 minutes south to St. Michael’s Cathedral (Kneza Sime Markovića 3), a striking Orthodox church with golden frescoes and a serene atmosphere. A quick visit (15 minutes, free entry) offers a glimpse into Serbia’s spiritual heritage. Nearby, stop at Caffe Dva Jelena (Skadarska 32), another Skadarlija gem, for a rakija (plum brandy) or a refreshing lemonade to recharge.
