Maybe visit once.<br /><br />Croatia is the most popular tourist destination in the Ex-YU and I happen to find that it's way over rated. Serbia? gimmie a break! definitely an interesting place to visit to see a place where everything is crumbling and decaying and nothing works (I mean that seriously. It is interesting and worth seeing), but to spend 1000s of dollars just to sit in Kalemegdan and have a beer? wtf.Doothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750264332218469530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-58346509913647687642013-06-16T12:09:05.285+02:002013-06-16T12:09:05.285+02:00No, Air Canada Rouge is not going to land in Belgr...No, Air Canada Rouge is not going to land in Belgrade.

After the Otttomans left, alot of their mosques etc were ruined. One remained, Bajrakli dzamija which is from the 17th century. A few things remain from the Ottoman times. Belgrade lost alot of its cultural buildings in both world wars and alot was rebuilt by the communists after World War II with concrete and steel. The older buildings that are still there lack resortation, ie Savski amfeteatar.

The Budapest castle for example is stunning but it is not integrated into the city. You can't go there and walk freely with your friends, sit, drink beer... in Belgrade you can. Also, from Kalemegdan the views are amazing which makes the experience even better. Furthermore, Belgrade is located on two rivers whose confluence is right in the centre. Ada Ciganlija is a great recreational place (especially for those who love golf). <br />Belgrade, unlike Budapest or Bucharest, has a ton of coffee places around the city. If you are in Budapest you can't find that many in the city, you are forced to go to a stupid mall. <br /><br />One of the greatest things in Belgrade for me is that no matter what time you are out, there will be people in the streets. For example if you are walking through Vaci street in Budapest after 20:30 there will be no one there. <br /><br />Belgrade has a vibe and that is why people keep on coming back. Just look at the number of foreigners that attend the Belgrade Beer Fest or the Exit Festival (which is in Novi Sad but still.). And mind you, there is no turbo folk there. <br /><br />The main challenge for Belgrade will be to remove the bad reputation it got during the 1990s. But as with everything else, time will fix that- as it has been proven until now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-21079085126548156062013-06-16T08:33:26.167+02:002013-06-16T08:33:26.167+02:00Belgrade existed long before the Ottomans came, al...Belgrade existed long before the Ottomans came, all those monasteries and churches around Serbia are the best proof of that. <br />Zagreb was developed in the 19th century by Strossmeyer who tried to turn it into some sort of Balkan Florence, naturally this plan failed.
