Jevremovac Botanical Garden Belgrade
All shades of green
In the center of the city lies the Belgrade Botanical Garden. As I studied biology, I am emotionally attached to this place, as we spent a good part of our student days here. It's a place where you can sit on a bench, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, take a walk through the garden, and learn about plants.
Walking through the botanical garden, you can explore different areas, such as its famous greenhouse, that opened in 1892. Here, you can see sections with plants from desert regions on one side and plants from tropical regions on the other. Not far from the greenhouse is a Japanese garden, which includes elements typical of traditional Japanese gardens, such as a small lake, a bridge over it, and a tea house.
You can also learn about the history of botanical and biological sciences in Serbia, discover more about our most famous botanist, Josif Pančić, and see the native coniferous tree he discovered and described.
In addition to learning, there's a café where you can relax, have a drink, and chat. During the summer months, the botanical garden hosts many events worth keeping an eye on through their social media, especially musical events, as it's a great space to enjoy a good concert.

Vanilica
Straight outta the oven
"Vanilica" in Belgrade doesn't have a vast offer of pastries - it's a small, unassuming, family-run bakery that I just love for the cakes and gibanica...

Stari šlep
A comfy hideout on the water
"Stari šlep" is the perfect restaurant for the summer days/daze in Belgrade. Its name means 'the old barge' - I'd recommend a fish soup and salad here.

Radecki Club/restaurant
Village within a city
"Radecki club/restaurant" on Belgrade's Zemun quay: a true local oasis - no espresso here, just plain good old 'domestic' Turkish coffee. Lots to see here.

Illegal Cinema
'Gunpowder' film club
"Illegal Cinema" in Belgrade is a very special institution. Everyone can suggest a film for screening, if they start a discussion about it at the end...

Kutijica
Creative food, out of the box!
The daily menu can, for example, include pumpkin with leek and poppy seeds, Thai curry with dried banana, chutney and raita. Or the good old veggie burger.
