Looks like I have a spare evening/night in Belgrade coming up next month. Anyone have any suggestions for things to see/do? Flying Air Serbia too so that might be an experience rolleyes

I’ve spent many nights in Belgrade and got married there 5 years ago… love the place (clearly biased)

What sort of thing are you into? You want bar / club / restaurant ideas? Do you know where you’re staying roughly?
We don't have much time sadly, so any interesting landmarks/architecture worth seeing in the city and then a nice restaurant and maybe a bar afterwards.

Don't know where we're staying yet. Supplier is booking the hotel.

Great info, thank you very much. Interesting point on the weather, I just assumed it would be bloody freezing!

Haven't been yet frown One of my best friends passed away less than 24 hours before I was due to fly, so I cancelled.

Now need to rearrange around the Chinese embassy having my passport for a visa application!

I'm very sorry to hear that.
Thank you. She was 39 and leaves a husband and two daughters under 10. Still in a state of disbelief.

I noticed the eyeroll on your first post regarding Air Serbia. Don't worry, they are a quality airline with a pretty much brand new fleet of aircraft, and excellent pilots. Very good airline to fly with. They are trying to promote Belgrade airport as the regional hub, and have an impressive network these days.

The Fortress at Kalemegdan is probably the thing to do if you've only got one day in Belgrade. Strolling Skadarlija and finding a traditional restaurant there is the nicest way to spend a relaxed evening. You could try the Nikola Tesla Museum if science is your thing. And if you like old buildings and curios, there's a bar called '?' - yes, just a question mark - which purports to be the oldest bar in Belgrade. It's called Znak Pitanja in Serbo-Croat. There aren't many old buildings at all in Belgrade for reasons of it being flattened in wars so often, so this place really stands out.
Great info, thank you very much.
