SKADARLIJA

Had some awesome food at a reataurant there (Kings head or somethin like that), the food and wine was superb and after spending too much time in Crap-Food capital London it was heaven. It was a cool area of Belgrade which reminds me of Gastown in Vancouver...

Thank God you didn't post pictures from new Belgrade...the communists had no sense of architectural style, and it looks like a part of a north American city rather than Europe.
am i the only one that has a dislike towards tall buildings? sure, the odd 20+ story structure is fine, but having many elegant buildings between 5-1- stories is so much classier. they're in the process of finishing a new office building in belgrade, and its something like 30 stories...just why damnit?

No problem Hajduk. It's been a plesure... I walk and pass these streets every day. It's really cool to live in a city like this...
There's one thing that we shood do that we didn't yet. PRESERVE our historical monuments and take good kare of them... And what I mean is that there are some really messy parts of the OLD city of BG (Kalimegdan Fortress). There's parts of it that are not even showed to the public (like Underground chambres and katacombs) Old people say that under the great city there's enough room for about 200 000 to 300 000 people. However these passages are closed and forbiten...
I understand that our economi is not doing so good, but we shood at least start doing something about this.

BEOGRAD
--------------------------------------------------------------
Smešten na ušæu Save u Dunav, Beograd je jedan od najstarijih gradova u Evropi i, pored Atine, najveæa urbana celina na Balkanu. Najstariji arheološki nalazi sa njegovog podruèja sežu u peti milenijum pre nove ere. Pripadnici keltskog plemena su osnovali Singidunum u 3. veku pre nove ere, dok prvo pominjanje Beograda datira iz 989. godine. Tokom svoje duge i burne istorije, Beograd je osvajalo 40 armija, a 38 puta je podizan iz pepela!
Beograd je glavni grad Srbije, sa oko 1.6 miliona stanovnika. Ima prvorazredni saobraæajni znaèaj, kao znaèajno drumsko i železnièko èvorište, a takoðe i meðunarodno reèno i vazdušno pristanište i telekomunikacijski centar. Prostire se na 3,6 % teritorije Srbije, a njemu živi 15,8% stanovništva Srbije i radi 31,2% svih zaposlenih u Srbiji.
Beograd je prestonica srpske kulture, obrazovanja i nauke. U njemu je najveæa koncentracija institucija iz oblasti nauke i umetnosti od nacionalnog znaèaja. Tu je Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti, osnovana 1886. godine kao Srpska kraljevska akademija; Narodna biblioteka Srbije, osnovana 1832; Narodni muzej, osnovan 1841 i Narodno pozorište, osnovano 1869. godine. Grad je takoðe i sedište Beogradskog univerziteta, osnovanog 1808. godine kao Velika škola, i Univerziteta umetnosti.
Beograd ima status posebne teritorijalne jedinice u Srbiji, koja ima svoju autonomnu gradsku upravu. Njegova teritorija je podeljena na 16 opština, koje imaju svoje lokalne organe vlasti.

Re: ...Beograd

In my point of view Belgrade is probably second to Sarajevo as the most beautiful capital city in the balkans.... Beograd as everyone can see on the pictures above, has beautiful history in it's architecture, ( and don't forget it has one of the most beautiful women in the world
) and it also has some newer more modern buildings to give belgrade an unusual but absolutely beautiful look!( does any one have some pics of the stadiums in Beograd.. paticularly the marakana
)... anyways to respond to krajna's comment about Beograd's communist buildings..I totally agree, i don't know why they made such plain, and boring buildings... belgrades old town is much more classy and beautiful! ( but at least they new how to run a country
)

Belgrade is pretty beautiful. I drove through it one night when I was on my way to Hungary...but had no time to stop. Budapest looked pretty crappy compared to it.
