Getting around

Belgrade offers a lot – food and nightlife are its trademark

When you hear Belgrade, what do you think of first? Of course, the rich nightlife that leaves every tourist breathless! Let’s start with the night life.

In Belgrade, every night is Friday night. Everyone is ready to party all the time, dance the night away, and go straight to work the next day. It’s really hard to resist the temptation when you know that on any given evening there are countless clubs out there full of young people having so much fun.

The mainstream clubbing scene consists of venues playing house music, progressive, tech house, and turbo-folk (a sub-genre of folk music with dance and pop elements specific to Serbia), but you can also find places specialising in R’n’B, pop, rock, trance, alternative, jazz, or just about any other type of music in existence.

Tourists mostly go for Mainstream clubs, since they do not feel the vibe and do not understand music at the local music places.

Both Mainstream and National Live Clubs require: Prior reservation ( guest list ), to be on time and no sport wear. If you want to experience both scenes, we suggest you start from Skadarlija first.


Skadarlija


The Belgrade evenings starts with a stroll in the pretty neighborhood of Skadarlija, previously known as “The Gypsy Quarter”. Soak up the cultural atmosphere in one of the many pop-up galleries or stop by an antique shop, before making your way to a trendy bar for live music and drinks. The cobbled streets and mesmerizing street art of this historical area makes for great photo opportunities, while Skadarlija is jam-packed with restaurants too.


Clubs by the river

You’ll find some of Belgrade’s clubs by the two beautiful rivers. Both Sava River and the Danube boast the top spots for partying in summer time. Freestyler next to Sava is an electro club, while Club River offers more mainstream music. Club Lasta – here you can enjoy a night of house music and magical atmosphere in an actual floating club. Make sure to book a table in advance if you want to be guaranteed entry. Remember that the river clubs are closed during winter.

Tavern

Tavern in Belgrade have definitely been in the lead in the last few years when it comes to nightlife. More and more young people are choosing this type of entertainment, which shows how good the atmosphere is in such places.

Belgrade offers a really great offer when it comes to cafes and we believe that sometimes it is difficult to choose the right one in which you will feel in tune with the mood, so we are here to introduce you with one, most popular!

Very modern tavern Ona moja is a favorite for fans of modern tavern evenings until the early morning hours. This, always full cafe, works all 7 days a week, so it is ideal for those who do not have the opportunity to go out on the weekends and relax.

As far as music is concerned, the Ona moja tavern is known for the frequent visits of the biggest stars from our stage, so the fun is guaranteed. Mostly folk and pop music is sung, but you can certainly hear an old-town song if you have a musical desire, depending on the performer who is a guest that evening.

The interior of the cafe is very interesting because it is combined with modern, quality lighting and checkered tablecloths, wooden furniture and very nice details that evoke an additional feeling of a real cafe.

Members of different generations go out in the Ona moja, and what they all have in common is a desire for a good time. This is an ideal place if you want to celebrate something, mark an important date, or maybe you want to get over someone with the most famous hits and the highest quality drinks.
