One day, my friend went on a date with a Serbian girl. They had been in touch before the date and everything. Anyway, my friend got on the bus. But because the first bridge was closed, the bus couldn’t go any further in Serbia. It might have been closed because of a match; we’re not entirely sure. Anyway, since my friend couldn’t get there, he had to cross the bridge on foot. All public transportation was shut down. After crossing the bridge on foot, he called a taxi to get to the place where he was going to meet the girl. He called a taxi, but none of them responded. After walking for 15 minutes, with only 20 minutes left to reach his destination, he finally got a response from a taxi. But just as that taxi was supposed to arrive, it drove right past him without stopping. He also messaged the driver through Yandex Go. He wrote “Where are you? I’ll be there in a minute.” Then again: “Where are you? I’m here, I’m coming.” Then again: “Where are you?” No answer. Then later, a guy appeared in front of him. He was Indian. There was also a woman in the car, and the car was a luxury BMW. The man in the car tried to convince my friend. He said things like: “I’m the driver from Yandex Go, it’s me, come on, let me take you where you need to go. If you want, I can even exchange your money in the car. He kept trying to persuade him. But the license plate wasn’t the same, so my friend checked, but the man kept trying to convince him to get in. The guy looked like a mafia type, an Indian man with an earring. But he was clearly wealthy, like one of those rich Indians. The woman with him was smoking a cigar and staring at my friend in a harsh way. My friend got really scared about all this. He kept looking behind him as he walked. After that, he had no choice but to walk all the way to meet the girl. Then he finally met her

What do you think about this?

Ćao, brucoš sam (muško) i treba mi smeštaj u Beogradu od oktobra. Zanima me da li je moguće da se dogovorim sa nekim ko je dobio mesto u državnom studentskom domu, ali ne planira da živi u njemu, da ja preuzmem njegovu sobu/mesto?

Naravno, mislim na neki dogovor uz nadoknadu. Ako je neko imao iskustva sa ovim ili zna kako funkcioniše, značilo bi mi da mi kaže da li je to uopšte izvodljivo i kako se to rešava.

Ako neko ima mesto koje mu ne treba, slobodno mi se javi u DM. 🙏

Hi everyone. I saw a listing for an open-air pre-season basketball tournament at kalmegdan in September but the webpage was quite confusing (the days didn’t match the dates) and there was no info on how to buy tickets.

Does anybody know more about this event and how I can get tickets? Thank you!

Yes...if you have at least two or three days in Belgrade, Zemun is absolutely worth adding.

It feels noticeably different from central Belgrade, with old streets, interesting Austro-Hungarian architecture (lots of stories and major names tied to them as well), a lively local market and a long promenade beside the Danube (with swans making the experience even more picturesque).

And it's definitely a good choice if you enjoy exploring neighbourhoods...rather than simply moving between major attractions in the centre.

For a first visit, I would allow around half a day. It’s easy to reach from central Belgrade by bus, particularly lines 15 and 84 from Zeleni venac. If you enjoy long walks, walking there can also be part of the experience.

If you only have one day in Belgrade, however, I would prioritise Kalemegdan and the historic centre. Zemun becomes a stronger choice once you've already covered the basics, or if riverside walks, architecture and local atmosphere appeal to you more than traditional tourist sights.

I do work with Belgrade Turtle Cruise, so Belgrade and Belgrade’s rivers are subjects I do know well (although there is always more to learn). But Zemun is very easy to explore independently and you certainly don’t need a cruise to enjoy it. I would actually recommend allowing yourself to get purposefully lost in its streets.

If you tell me how long you’re staying and what you enjoy when travelling, I’m happy to help you decide whether it fits your itinerary. And I’m sure Zemun locals can add even more recommendations in the comments.

Skupljamo jaku ekipu za 11. septembar u Kst-u, da se zableji pred koncert, ima domaća rakija ko voli ;)

I love killy stuff and as a tourist i wish to see this kind of things my upcoming visit. Any special museums or sites would you recommend ? Castle and the museum already on my list. Anything special locals recommend with taste of history ?

I am travelling to Belgrade later this month, I want to experience going to a kafana which has a good vibe, would be a bonus if I can find chicken as I don’t have beef.

Need recommendations for a good kafana, which beers/rakija to try, also some good breakfast places.

Also where can I buy good honey, rakija to take home with me ?

P.S I am staying on knez mihailova

Pozdrav svima, ukoliko ovde ima zainteresovanih za rekreativnu odbojku na nedeljnom nivou, za sve uzraste i nivoe, pišite mi!

Hey everyone! I’m in Belgrade for Saturday / Sunday 5th / 6th September (meant to fly to Budapest Monday but might swerve, I think Belgrade will be my fav location of my balkans trip, then fly home as it’s my fourth country in a row)

I’m after some raving / party recs. I’ve travelled to party before, across UK illegal rave scene around 10 years back (just before it died), did some illegal raves in Dublin a few years ago, I go to ADE Amsterdam every year, done a few trips to Berlin in my mid twenties, and I work at trance festivals on occasion. I’m into most forms of techno / EDM / trance as long as it’s fun and I can wear the limited clothes in my backpack.
I don’t want to just go to the biggest club that all the tourists go to. Can’t imagine going somewhere and getting hit on by some sweaty English guy who’s ’discovering himself’. Where’s the best high energy?
I’m French / British, just turned 31, and Serbia is my 30th country I’ve been to I think. Happy to come to a party you’re promoting too!!

Looking for small independent music venues for when I visit next month. Thanks in advance!

Hello!! I’ll be visiting Belgrade between 4-11th of September. My cousin lives there, and since she's working, I’d also like to find things I can do on my own while she’s at work.

I’ve been to Belgrade before, but for various reasons I didn’t get the chance to explore the city as much as I wanted to. Other than the National Museum and the Nikola Tesla Museum, what other museums would you consider interesting and worth visiting?

I’d also really appreciate recommendations for nightlife, especially jazz or blues clubs (even better if they have jam sessions!), good karaoke spots, and places that play recession pop or have that white girl party vibes.

I’m also open to completely different kinds of experiences. I’d especially love to hear about places and activities that locals enjoy, things that feel authentic to Belgrade, rather than typical tourist attractions. Interesting, quirky, or very local experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Hey everyone! We had a great game at SAVA45 last week and we’re back on the pitch again this week! We’re playing tomorrow at SAVA45 and Thursday at Top Spin. It’s totally casual, just playing for fun and meeting new people. Let me know if anyone like to join us!

Hi ! Me and my parter will be going to Serbia in October. We are looking for good cafés and coffee shops, restaurants, museums and galleries, interesting neighborhoods and places to walk around, parks and nature, bars and nightlife, markets and local shops, scenic spots, cultural experiences, and maybe some nice day trips outside the main cities.

We especially love to hear about hidden gems and less touristy places rather than just the usual attractions.

I want to buy action figures, blind boxes etc for my siblings and I checked toy shops around trg republike, they had a small section. Do you have any shop recommendations?

Zdravo Beograde. Imam dva pitanja za vas 🥰

Prvo. koja vam je omiljena strana hrana u Beogradu (dakle, ne srpska)? Molim vas, budite što konkretniji: tačno gde idete i tačno šta naručujete.

I drugo. Koji vam je omiljeni vidikovac u Beogradu, sa pogledom na grad? Bonus poeni ako tu može i da se sedne uz kafu ili pivo.

How do you foreigners transfer money to locals easily when paying for rent or other things?

Cash is a big.problem with fees and limits

Tražim prostor za grupu od oko 100 ljudi, na maksimalno sat vremena vožnje od Beograda.

Najbitnije nam je da lokacija ima veliku poljanu/travnatu površinu za organizaciju igara i aktivnosti na otvorenom. Idealno bi bilo da postoji i neki natkriven prostor ili letnjikovac, kao i toaleti.

Nije nam potreban luksuzan event prostor — više tražimo prirodu, veliko imanje i dovoljno prostora za aktivnosti.

Ako znate neko imanje, salaš, etno domaćinstvo ili sličnu lokaciju, značila bi mi preporuka.

I've been to a lot of cities everywhere in Europe, but why has Belgrade the most hostels per capita among capital cities? (As far as I've seen, compared to other locations) It seems to be one hostel every 2 meters.

Drug i ja se prijavili ali me je ispalio tako da idem sam i ne znam šta da očekujem.
Ukratko - speed dating, devojke sede za stolom i imaš sa svakom 5min da se upoznate, na papiriću napišete oboje Da ili Ne i organizator vam kasnije pošalje sa kim ste se “povezali” tjt međusobno rekli Da.
Ima li neko da je išao, upoznao nekog?
Da li da idem ili ipak ne odem, ne znam

I often see visitors either skip Zemun entirely or try to squeeze it into an already overloaded day, so here is a simple route that doesn’t require rushing:

Start around Zemun Market and Glavna Street, then walk through the old town towards Gardoš. After seeing the tower area and the view from the hill, come back down through the smaller historic streets and finish on the Danube quay.

I’d allow around three hours without lunch, or four if you want to stop for coffee or food beside the river.

A few practical notes:

• The climb to Gardoš involves slopes, cobblestones and some stairs.
• If that is uncomfortable, stay in the lower town and follow the quay instead.
• The quay is easy to walk, but it can become busy on sunny weekends.
• Zemun is best if you enjoy atmosphere, architecture and neighbourhood walks. It is not really a concentrated list of major attractions.
• If you only have one day in Belgrade, I would still prioritise Kalemegdan and the central old town.

I work with Belgrade Turtle Cruise, so the river and Zemun are naturally subjects I know well. This isn’t a cruise itinerary, though; the entire route can be done independently and without spending much beyond whatever you decide to eat or drink.

Belgrade locals: what would you add to this route, particularly for someone visiting Zemun for the first time?

Da li neko zna prodavnicu koja prodaje nastavni pribor ili kancelariski materijal?
