Things to do in Nikola Tesla Airport
Belgrade is one of Europe's most underrated and undervisited capitals — a city of turbulent 20th-century history, outstanding nightlife (floating splavovi clubs on the Sava and Danube are internationally renowned), and genuine character. The Kalemegdan Fortress at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, the bohemian Skadarlija cobblestone street, St. Sava Cathedral (one of the world's largest Orthodox churches), and the brualist Socialist-era architecture give the city remarkable layers. Serbian rakija, grilled ćevapi, and kafana (traditional tavern) culture are the essential experiences.

- Skadarlija street's traditional kafana restaurants serve rakija, roast meats, and live folk music in a 19th-century cobblestone bohemian setting — distinctly Belgrade.
