ABOUT BELGRADE
Belgrade: A Metropolis With an Enchanting Soul
Belgrade, described in a humorous tone by the famous singer-songwriter Đorđe Balašević as "a beautiful town, but a little remote" from Novi Sad, is anything but remote. The capital of Serbia, Belgrade, is the only metropolis in the Balkans, a place where cultures collide, histories intertwine, and ghosts of the past walk the modern streets.
One of the oldest cities in Europe
Belgrade is a city with an impressive position, located at the confluence of two great rivers - the Sava and the Danube, where the Pannonian Plain caresses the hills of the Balkan Peninsula. Its roots trace back to Kelat in the third century BC, when the city was known as Singidunum. Belgrade, or the White City, as the Slovenians called it in the ninth century, is a historical treasure that proudly looks at its neighbors, carrying with it ancient wisdom and stories that have lived through the centuries.
Dynamic and Busy: The Center of Everything
Today, Belgrade is the pulsating heart of Serbia, playing key roles in economy, education, culture, and transportation. The city is a measure of success in this region - to be recognized in Belgrade means to reach the pinnacle of your career, whether you are an artist, writer, or musician. Matija Bećković once said: "Many went up Balkanska Street with the intention of conquering Belgrade, and many defeated went down it and left." Those who conquered it, forever remained his, and Belgrade theirs.
The city that never sleeps
Belgrade is a city that lives 24 hours a day, a city that never sleeps. From magnificent parks and buildings, through museums and cultural monuments, to restaurants, clubs and cafes that pulsate with energy - Belgrade has it all. This city attracts students, tourists, and adventurers from all over the world with its dynamism and the promise of always new, exciting experiences.
