                         Belgrade  carries many epithets with self-confidence: city of culture, imaginative and  inspiring, city of sports and leisure, city of high quality events and  festivals, city of good entertainment and nights out, a perfect city break  destination… A city rapidly changing and developing, yet preserving its rich  historical past imbued with the Eastern and Western cultures. 
                      Belgrade  is an exceptional city, a never ending story, bursting of traces of an  extraordinarily long, rich and turbulent history. Its unique soul originates  from the richness of differences and spirituality. Besides Athens, it is one of  the oldest cities in Europe. The culture of Vinča, discovered in the area of  Belgrade, is also one of the oldest known on our continent.  
                       As a  consequence of the geographic, historical and social encounter of the East and  the West, Belgrade has a truly authentic atmosphere and recognizable  hospitality. Wherever the guests of Belgrade stay, they feel at home,  comfortable, relaxed and in good spirits. Staying in Belgrade is simply enjoyable.  Thus guests of Belgrade usually say ”they will certainly come again”.  
                    Similar  to other European cities, Belgrade has its old and its new face, its monuments  of the past and its joy of youth. However, cities, like people, differ in their  soul and appearance, the authentic charm and sincerity that make them special. The  beauty of Belgrade is in the smile, humor, goodness, genuineness, a friendly  hand. 
                    ENTERING  THE BOHEMIAN QUARTER 
                     Knez-Mihailova  Street, the major street of Belgrade, is in the immediate vicinity of the  Belgrade Fortress. Never empty. You can measure it in meters or encounters,  favorite places and Belgrade institutions. Passers-by, street musicians,  friends looking at shop windows, beautiful and colorful people… As a street, it  was first mentioned several centuries ago and continued growing together with the  city. Many of its previous kafanas, hotels and shops are mentioned in the city  chronicles, whilst some of its new important edifices are being entered. This  street has important special places, some common and some only our own. The  first are in the map of the city, the latter in the hearts of Belgradians. 
                      From Knez-Mihailova,  you come to the Republic Square, with the  most famous monument in Belgrade:  Monument of Prince Mihailo. The National Museum the and National Theater, the  most important cultural institutions of the city, are at the edges of the  Square. 
                      Only  a few hundred meters further from the main city square, the entire city bustle  suddenly silences and disappears. The relaxed face of Belgrade can be best seen  there, in Skadarlija, the old bohemian quarter, the street of kafanas and  poets, a famous place often visited by Belgradians and their guests. Time seems  to stop here; the refined casualness and old spirit of the city are simply  enchanting. If you don’t feel the nostalgic atmosphere and spirit of  Skadarlija, you cannot understand the true soul of this city and its people. Depending  on the occasion and taste, in accordance with your mood and time of the day, you  can choose a restaurant, menu, wine, melody. One thing will remain the same  though: the recognizable homelike taste of Skadarlija. 
                    A PACKAGE  FOR THE WHOLE WORLD

                     Starting Point of Belgrade 
                      The  Belgrade time machine first takes us to the very heart of the city, the  Belgrade Fortress, the starting point of all events in Belgrade throughout many  centuries, today a favorite city promenade and art lovers’ destination.  
                      During  its history, Belgrade has changed its appearance, its visible face many times,  but never its particular city spirit – its Belgrade lifestyle.

                    Island in the Middle of the City  
                  If  you want to completely run away from the bustle, from the everyday life of a  big city, you don’t have to go far. Only four kilometers from the city center are  the Sava Lake and Ada Ciganlija, favorite resort of Belgradians and their  guests. The vast green areas of the river island (peninsula), a big and small  lake, many wonderful walking trails and bicycle paths, sports facilities,  beaches, about a hundred cafés on the shore – enable everyone to find whatever  they might need. A city such as Belgrade wouldn’t be so powerfully attractive  without its special oasis of peace – Ada Ciganlija.
