Ready for a bit of nature? Just a short drive away lies Mt Avala, offering lush forest trails leading up to the impressive Avala Tower. Once there, prepare to be awed by panoramic vistas of the city. Don’t forget to explore the Danube River – hop aboard a boat ride, grab a coffee at one of the riverside cafés, or simply take a stroll along the banks.

Activities in Belgrade
Ready for a sun-soaked day? Head over to Ada Ciganlija, known as the “Belgrade Sea”. This lively man-made peninsula is perfect for swimming, cycling and relaxing by the lake.
If you’re eager to learn more about Serbia’s fascinating history, then the Museum of Yugoslavia is a great place to start. It brings the country’s rich and intricate past vividly to life. Don’t miss the House of Flowers, the peaceful resting place of former leader Josip Broz Tito.
If you’re up for an adventure, consider a trip beyond the city to Eastern Serbia, where you’ll find stunning nature and historical sites. The Manasija Monastery, also known as Resava, is an icon of culture and history dating back to the 15th century. Stop by the Resavska Cave nearby to admire unique rock formations such as stalactites and stalagmites. And make sure to see the Lisine Waterfall nestled within the serene Serbian forests – it’s a hidden gem worth exploring.
Food in Belgrade
Kickstart your mornings like a true local with burek – a flaky pastry stuffed with cheese or meat that’s a great breakfast on the go. For a taste of homemade goodness, try gibanica – this melt-in-your-mouth layered cheese pie will have you coming back for seconds.
Belgrade is bursting with comforting classics to dine on. Cosy up with gulaš – a hearty meat stew that’s as flavourful as it is filling. It’s typically made with vegetables and various spices, and served alongside mashed potatoes.
To truly immerse yourself in the authentic culinary scene, head to Skadarlija, Belgrade’s charming bohemian quarter. Cobblestone streets lined with traditional eateries provide the perfect setting to savour classic dishes. Or, for a more contemporary twist with international flair, dine at one of the restaurants on the Belgrade waterfront.

In addition to the many malls in Belgrade, Knez Mihailova Street is a popular choice for shoppers. This bustling pedestrian avenue is lined with boutique shops, international brand stores and local designer displays. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon window shopping and soaking in the vibrant Serbian retail scene.
For a more authentic shopping adventure, go to Kalenic Market. As the largest and most colourful market in Belgrade, this bustling hub is where locals come to buy fresh produce, handmade goods and artisanal treasures. You’ll find exquisite pieces of locally made pottery and jewellery that make for the perfect souvenirs.
Keep an eye out for the famous licitar heart-shaped gingerbread cookies too – they’re a cherished tradition throughout Serbia and other Balkan countries.
