Knez Mihailova Street, Belgrade
Belgrade might not win first place for the ‘prettiest’ capital but it is this particular edginess and how the chaotic past unfolds in front of one’s eyes, that makes it a top tourist destination. It is located between the rivers Danube and Sava and can be compared to Berlin in a sense that its architecture is eclectic, it mixes both new and old styles.
For example, Knez Mihailova Street is one of the most visited and expensive locations in the city where both locals and tourists can either go for a walk, to shop, or have a traditional meal at a restaurant.
Kalemegdanska Terasa
Kalemegdanska Terasa could be a restaurant to try out as it does not only offer fine local cuisine but also a mesmerising view. It is close to Knez Mihailova. It is open every day from 11 am until 1 am. Serbian cuisine is a formation of various influences which were present at this geographical region. Moreover, it has been enhanced by Mediterranean cuisine. The sommeliers in Kalemengdanska Terasa are also experienced in recommending the best local wines to suit your food choice.
