Series details

£6.99

Belgrade is less polished jewel than diamond in the rough. Emerging from its turbulent recent past, the city is now staking its claim as one of Europe¿s latest hotspots. With a wealth of museums and flourishing café¿-bar scene, it is culturally rich and warmly welcoming.
Whether you take a romantic sunset stroll through Kalemegdan Park, explore the quirky traditions of the Bohemian enclave of Skadarlija or sample a fiery snort of sljivovica on a floating Danube restaurant, Laurence Mitchell shows you how to get the most from this charming capital.

This pocket-size guide to Belgrade contains all the information expected for the weekend visitor, business person and traveller on a tour; from walking tours of the city with tips on the best shopping and café pit-stops to essential words and phrases to help you order the local specialities and enjoy all the city offers. Short trips beyond the city to Smederevo fortress, Novi Sad, and Mount Avala are included to introduce the visitor to the Serbian countryside. The guide is in a pocket format, and includes colour maps of the city and the transport system.

Laurence Mitchell is a travel writer and photographer; he first visited Serbia in the 1970s when hitch-hiking through the former Yugoslavia.
