Solo travel experience

I went to Beograd solo and loved it. The bar and restaurant scene by the river is fun, and the fort has a very cool outdoor lounge. I also went to a beautiful museum, very quirky, the Museum of Yugoslavia.

Solo travel experience

I felt very safe. Used the same precautions as I would use traveling solo anywhere else. I call it the ugliest beautiful city full of history.

Solo travel experience

Belgrade was fine. The food was amazing. I went to the beautiful Temple of St Sava, the Tesla Museum, the national history museum, and the national art museum, and did some amazing shopping for very cheap. But I was honestly not the biggest fan of Belgrade, I found it depressing and a little intimidating as a solo traveler.

Solo travel experience

I liked the Church of St Sava, the White Palace, the Belgrade fortress (sunset was nice), and went drinking one night after a street art tour in Savamala. I ate mostly in the Skadarlija area and felt safe all the time.

Solo travel experience

I really liked the city vibe of Belgrade. The Nikola Tesla Museum was one of my favorite things to see. I'm a huge fan of Turkish coffee so I loved the Serbian coffee served with a square of Turkish delight. Everyone was friendly to me and everyone seemed to speak some English.

Solo travel experience

Belgrade is amazing. It can be a little hard to find out your stuff because a lot is written in Cyrillic, but the people are very helpful and friendly. I felt really safe, and a lot safer than at some really crowded touristic attractions in other cities. I followed the Belgrade Free Walking Tour - 20th Century Tour, it was really nice, showed a lot of highlights, and told the story of Serbia from what happened in the past years. For food, I really liked the restaurant Manufaktura.

Solo travel experience

Belgrade is great. You can visit Skadarlija and have an authentic meal in a Turkish era cobble stone area of town. I recommend the Belgrade underneath tour of the Kalemegdan fortress. You would enjoy even just walking around the fortress walls on your own as the tour gives you a great historical background but doesn’t walk you over the entire area as you would need a few days to cover it all.

About me

Hi there! I am a working student from Serbia that is looking for like minded travel friends. My most basic interest is taking pictures for Instagram of course, and I hope to find someone who also finds it fun while we travel. I like to do a lot of sightseeing, and get to know history, language, food and culture of the places I visit. On a tighter budget, and very thrifty, hope you're ok with that. Love nature and animals, music, dancing, and learning launguages.
