Return to Plague Island

After six months in Belgrade, I decided to call it a day and return to the UK. Back in January, when I came back to London, foreign press referred to it as the plague island. They were reporting more than 50000 new coronavirus cases every day in the UK, with many people ending up in hospitals and dying. Perhaps, it was really the only way to describe the UK at that time.

How Was My Stay in Belgrade?

So, how did my stay in Belgrade go? It's time to have a look at my six months in Serbia last year. I arrived to Belgrade at the beginning of July 2020 and left at the beginning of January this year. I went there for several reasons. First of all, I did some major dental work. For that, Serbia is really the best place. You can get the best dental treatment at a very affordable price, much cheaper than in ...

Is Serbian Food Healthy?

Is Serbian food healthy? I will try to answer this question, although it will be my personal view, based on my recent experience. I was in Serbia, in Belgrade, for six months last year. That was the first time in 30 years for me stay there longer than two weeks, as I live in London. But such short periods of time can't really give us a proper insight into nutritional habits of a place that we are ...

Crypt of Saint Sava Church – Belgrade

I've been in Belgrade for just over two months now. In one of my previous posts, I wrote about many restoration projects that the city authorities are currently doing in order to improve the way the city looks. But, the biggest and the most ambitious building project is the Saint Sava Church. You can read about this church in my article on Belgrade. The church is finished on the outside and they are now ...

Serbian Orthodox Churches in Belgrade (part 2)

In this post about Serbian Orthodox churches in Belgrade, I will write about temples that are slightly detached from the most popular touristic areas. It means that it's not likely that you will see them while you are in Belgrade, unless you make a bit of an effort. But, that shouldn't discourage you. Areas of Belgrade where they are located are also interesting to see. Also, these churches are not as ...

Serbian Orthodox Churches in Belgrade (part 1)

Serbian Orthodox churches in Belgrade, although not numerous, are beautiful and very interesting to see. In deeply pious countries such as Italy and Spain, where religion plays a significant role and where the Catholic church holds a firm grip on various spheres of life, you can see churches everywhere. In big cities, such as Rome or Madrid, churches are in almost every street. But, as a dominant religion ...

Zemun

I shouldn't really write a separate post about Zemun. That's because Zemun is a municipality of Belgrade. But, Zemun has been part of Belgrade for only 86 years. For many past centuries, it was a completely separate city. The main reason why I decided to write a separate post is because, when you go to Zemun, it feels like being in a completely different place. The last time I was there it was over 30 ...

Paja Jovanović Museum – Belgrade

One more place in Belgrade that I've never visited in the past is Paja Jovanovic museum. I don't really know why I didn't go there before. Perhaps, it was a lack of interest. Or it could be that, when I lived there, I was too young to properly understand Serbian art. But even during my numerous previous visits to Belgrade, I continuously missed it. My first proper encounter with Paja Jovanovic was in the ...

National Museum Belgrade – Yugoslav Modern Art

There is one more important section in the National Museum in Belgrade that I would like to write about, which wasn't there in the past. I saw it for the first time ever during my latest visit to the museum. The section that I am talking about is on Yugoslav modern art. In fact, it makes sense to add these paintings to the permanent collection. Thus, you can see the progression of Serbian art from ...

National Museum Belgrade – Yugoslav 20th Century Art (part 2)

This is my second post on the Yugoslav 20th century art. During my latest visit to Belgrade, I went back to the National Museum, to see this collection. I mostly missed it when I was there last time. Sometimes, we go to a museum and after a while we become saturated with too many impressions. Then, it becomes difficult to process and to remember everything. But, thanks to the photos in this and in my ...
