Skadarlija, Belgrade

Nestled in the heart of the city, the picturesque cobblestone Skadarlija features traditional restaurants with live music, art galleries, and souvenir shops. Dating back to the 19th century, this was a Romani settlement at first, which later saw an arrival of craftspeople and caterers. Eventually it became the favorite spot of the city's artists and bohemians, with a continuous stream of entertainment and excellent cuisine. Take a walk along this old-world street, lined with rustic buildings and statues, and then duck into one of the restaurants to taste the region's most typical meals while listening to the sounds of brass or tamburica bands. It's best to wear comfortable shoes here, as the roads are bumpy. Using our world travel planner, Belgrade attractions like Skadarlija can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.
