A place in Belgrade that I've never visited before is the Vuk and Dositej Museum. Normally, it's a place where they take you with school, to learn about two of the most influential Serbs that shaped the language and the culture of the nation, after centuries under the Ottoman rule. But for some reason, I never went there.
In all honesty, I didn't think much of this museum because it's in a relatively ...
The Belgrade Fortress is the most important historic site in Belgrade. Its position, overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, makes it a very unique place because not many other cities have two big rivers. Views from the fortress are spectacular.

The Princess Ljubica's Residence is one of the most important historic buildings in Belgrade. Built in 1830, it certainly had all characteristics of the Serbian-Balkan style houses. It is also among the most preserved examples of the civil architecture from the first half of the 19th century Belgrade. It was a luxurious court of the Serbian ruling Obrenović dynasty.

I am back in Belgrade. I mentioned in my previous post that I was planning to go there. The main reason why I decided to leave London for a period of time is because I think that the situation in the UK is much worse than in Serbia. I also think that the situation in the UK will not improve any time soon. Profound mistakes made by an incompetent UK government at the start of the epidemic are not easy to ...
There is a place in Belgrade that I've been wanting to visit for a long time. Remarkably, I've never been there. Not even when I lived in Belgrade, before I moved to London. If you ask me why, I wouldn't know what to say. Perhaps, I thought of it as a place that was right there and very easy to visit. Somehow, I never actually managed to do it. Until now. The place that I am talking about is the Nikola ...
I've written many stellar articles about Belgrade. And rightly so. It's a dynamic and interesting city, that's rapidly changing. Also, it's still a refreshingly rare non-globalised European city, especially after most Western European places where you see the same shops and restaurant chains over and over again. In that respect, Belgrade is very authentic. When you walk around, you can see numerous small ...
I am in Belgrade at the moment. In my previous post, I wrote about my travel plans and I mentioned that I was going to spend two weeks in the Serbian capital. I've already written about Belgrade and I've also mentioned that I would only write about many changes that are currently happening there. The city authorities have undertaken an immense task to restore and improve the city, especially after many ...
April was a strange month. That was one reason why I posted only one article at the end of April. It was also a month in which I asked myself: Where next? But, let me explain what was happening.
As I wrote in my previous post, the UK originally had to come out of the EU at the end of March. However, no exit deal had been agreed between the UK and the EU. So, the UK government asked for extension until ...
I should've written and posted this article at the end of March 2019. The UK should've come out of the EU on the 29th March 2019. But, that didn't happen. Then, the exit day was moved to the 12th April, but again it didn't happen. The new exit day is the 31st October 2019. I don’t want to repeat the events that happened over the past 4 or so months. It was so ridiculous that I am almost ashamed to even ...
"Summer Night City - Belgrade by Night" is the last post in the current series of posts about Belgrade. I was there in November 2018. Although it wasn't really summer, I was very lucky because it was very warm, almost like in summer. It was around 25 degrees C during the day and evenings were equally warm. That's why I went around the city and took some night photos.
I've already written about Belgrade. ...
