Belgrade

Over the spring break at Koc Uni I went to Serbia for a couple of days. I never knew much about Belgrade and I was completely unprepared for the trip , however ,despite my lack of knowledge, it turned out to be a lot of fun!

If one day some of you decide to go to Serbia, you should definitely visit the Nikola Tesla Museum, which exhibits all of the personal belongings and inventions of Tesla. Being of a Serbian origin, he wanted all of his possessions to be inherited by the Serbian people. I loved the collection of inventions they keep there, and for a moment I even felt like I was in the movie "Prestige"!

Serbia seems like a country with untouched nature. The air is cleaner and fresher, food is natural, grass is greener. I've heard that Serbia is a great place for camping, its landscapes are incredibly beautiful. Belgrade is situated right on the junction of Sava and Danube rivers, and despite being a capital city, it seems like it hasn't been touched by industrialisation that much. Even in the city centre, there are so many parks and places to hide from the constant traffic and simply enjoy your day.



A must-visit place for tourists in Belgrade is Kalemegdan, a.k.a Old City. A lot like Sultanahmet in Istanbul, Kalemegdan is probably the best spot in Belgrade to feel closer to the history.


It is usually said that it's not the place that is unforgettable, but it's people who make it special to you. The best thing about Belgrade is definitely the people, they are incredibly kind! Most of them will do their best to help you. I do think that people in Belgrade are probably the most friendly people I ever met. And that's quite a thing to say :)

Thanks for reading,
Love,
A.
