Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and the biggest city in the Balkans, is a "city that never sleeps".
Throughout its long history, the city was devastated more than thirty times, and it always managed to rise again. I and my fellow Belgraders like to think that it's our good spirits, love for life, and sense of humor that keeps us and our city surviving all the difficulties.

We can have Turkish coffee at the oldest kafana in Belgrade or have one "rakija", Serbian traditional plum brandy. St. Sava church, now finished and fully decorated.
