2. Belgrade
Situated at a river confluence, Serbia’s capital is world-famous for its vibrant nightlife, eclectic mix of modern and quaint, Art Nouveau and 19th century buildings, as well as a plethora of other, normally conflicting aspects which come together magically to form a city of buzzing opposites.
Belgrade is home to a little bit of everything, from the Kalemegdan Fortress and Park to quaint squares, colorful façades and a myriad of gorgeous Orthodox churches. Ada Ciganlija (Gypsy Island) used to be a poor man’s private resort, but was over the years resurrected as the Belgrade Sea. And speaking of Orthodox churches, be sure to check out the St. Sava Temple – a Leviathan of Orthodox temples in the Balkans.
