15 Most Instagrammable Spots in Belgrade, Serbia
Tower & Cafeteria
Gardoš
A two-for-one here, as we take a trip out to Belgrade’s most independent municipality — Zemun. Gardoš is the undoubted jewel in Zemun’s crown, and a walk up the hill is a must when in the area. The Millennium Tower stands proudly in its centre, an Instagrammable monument in its own right, but it is the view of Zemun and the Danube that well and truly wins out.

Part of the city
We won’t lie and say that every single street is a winner, as that clearly isn’t the case. We have no problem saying that Dorćol is Belgrade’s most fascinating neighbourhood however. Regarded as a bit of a ‘no-go area’ during Serbia’s difficult ‘90s, the downtown district has blossomed into a treasure trove of cafes, restaurants, shops and murals, including a host of interesting street art dedications to national and international heroes.

Travel is all about unique experiences, about finding those images that are only discovered in one place alone. Belgrade has plenty of them, but few are as arresting as the much-maligned Genex Tower. The city’s Western Gate looks like an imposing dystopian horror house, complete with rotating spaceship on top, and it is undoubtedly one of Belgrade’s most memorable pictures. Feel free to photoshop an evil genius stroking a cat on top, if you like.

The hotel’s glory days might be behind it, but Hotel Moskva remains one of the most impressive pieces of architecture in the city. The hotel stands on Terazije, a boulevard in the centre of the city, that connects downtown with Vračar, and Hotel Moskva is its most famous spot. It is a little bit pricey for a room, but a perfectly framed photograph of the facade is absolutely free.

It is somewhat difficult to get the entire street in one splendid shot, but Belgrade’s Bohemian Quarter is worth the multiple shots that will inevitably be taken. Skadarlija is one of the many nightlife centres in the city, a traditional cobblestone street packed with restaurants, bars and cafes. It might not be particularly bohemian and it certainly isn’t big enough to be called a quarter, but Skadarlija is still rather beautiful.

Heading back to Kalemegdan, the fortress is full of gates and walls that once represented the borders of Belgrade itself. The Inner Stambol Gate is the main one in the area, a well preserved statement of intent with a tower and flag to enhance the feeling of entry. The gate takes its name (in a roundabout way at least) from Istanbul, the former Ottoman capital.

It might not get the coverage that the Western City Gate gets, but its Eastern counterpart creates a visual every bit as imposing. The Eastern City Gate is actually a complex of three huge residential buildings, each 28 storeys high and about as brutalist as Belgrade gets. There aren’t many more impressive sights in the city than the three towers rising up out of the fog on a winter’s morning.

The largest Orthodox cathedral in the Balkans is as beautiful as it is big. The history of the Church of St. Sava is storied to say the least, but the tumultuous 20th century is truly in the rearview mirror today. A gleaming white example of Serbo-Byzantine architecture, trying to get the entire church into one 1080 x 1080 frame is one of Belgrade’s many challenges.

Square
Belgrade’s central meeting place is Republic Square, a city centre plaza surrounded by splendour and energy. To be precise, ‘kod konj-a’ (below the horse) is the actual central meeting place, but the entire square offers plenty waiting to be photographed. The horse in question takes top billing, along with the prince that rides on top of the trusty steed.

The word 'divisive’ comes to mind. Slavija Square has long been the bane of the city centre, a large that is almost always clogged up with cars, buses and whatever else is foolish enough to try and traverse it. The government recently decided that the best way to fix the mess was to build a massive fountain in the middle, but not just your ordinary water display. This is a fountain that lights up at night, and plays a variety of pop songs to enhance the mood. It is completely ridiculous, but you won’t find a better concentration of the madness of Serbia than Slavija Square once the sun goes down

When the weather is good (sometimes too good), Belgrade seemingly shuts up shop and transfers all its energy to the seaside. Not the actual seaside of course, but the city sea known as Ada Ciganlija. Full of recreation, fun and the rest, Ada is the place to be when the sun is shining and the temperature is high. Saying that, the beer garden is one of the best summer nightlife spots in the city as well. It also happens to be immensely beautiful.

Museum
The history of Yugoslavia looms large over the entire region, despite only being around for less than a century. The socialist state is remembered fondly by many in Belgrade, and as such, Josip Broz Tito’s grave is an important pilgrimage site for all visitors to Belgrade. The museum itself is a fascinating look at history as it was, and the traveling exhibitions are almost always worth a look. The collection of batons in the House of Flowers is particularly noteworthy, but it is the marble resting place of the Yugoslav leader that correctly takes center stage

Nikola Tesla probably takes home the award of being the most popular modern Serb, and the inventor’s incredible life is honoured in an excellent city centre museum. Located within a diplomatic neighbourhood in Vračar, the museum displays a number of the great man’s inventions along with many of his personal items. If you ever wanted to create light simply by holding a light bulb, this is the place to go.

Tower
While not technically a part of Belgrade itself, Avala is a nearby mountain that overlooks the city like some sort of angry big brother, in the familial sense, as opposed to the Orwellian. It is easy to imagine the minds behind 1984’s main antagonist directing traffic from Avala Tower, however, a 205-metre tall spindle that was destroyed by NATO in 1999 before being rebuilt in 2009. This is the tallest tower in the Balkans, and it is arguably the number one attraction at Avala. The Monument to the Unknown Hero gives it a good run for its money, but the tower just about wins out.
