Below we share with you some ultra popular and some lesser known places in Belgrade where you will enjoy taking photos.
Temple of Saint Sava
The largest Orthodox church in the Balkans impresses visitors with its size and history, as well as its beauty. It is difficult to put this splendor in the frame of 1080 × 1080 on Instagram, which is why posing and taking photos in front of the temple is one of the biggest challenges for all tourists. The whiteness of the temple walls is a great contrast to the blue sky and we recommend that you walk there on a sunny day. Once you’re there, you can’t help but go inside and take a few photos of the dome from the inside.
The Republic Square
Recently reconstructed, the square has completely changed its appearance and has now taken the form of a wide and open space as in all major world capitals. It is decorated and framed by recognizable symbols of the city – the monument to Prince Michael, the National Theater and the National Museum. If you photograph it from Kolarčeva Street, you will get the best shot, in which all three mentioned symbols fit. Forever the most important gathering place for Belgraders, it has now got a new look and will probably be the most popular place for photography in the coming period.

A real oasis in the center of the car jungle, the noise of heat and smog. It got its name because King Milan Obrenović gave the city land, which was inherited by his grandfather Jevrem. It is beautiful at any time of the year. This is a great place to escape from everyday life. The most beautiful for photography are the Japanese garden and the main greenhouse.
Terazije Square
On Terazije Square, there is also the Hotel Moskva and the Terazije Fountain, a favorite place for picture collectors. Below it is the Terazije Terrace Park. Next to it is the Palace of Albania, is what separates Terazije and Knez Mihailova. Also, the view from Terazije to Slavija is really special because it looks at the temple. A walk through the entire Kralja Milana Street to the fountain is recommended for good shots.

It is specific in its appearance and provides great pleasure by walking through its streets.

Savamala is known for its extraordinary murals, but also for the architecture of the buildings, which are a great background for your photos. Seize the opportunity and take the perfect photo!
Košutnjak
Finally we take you to a quieter place where there is not much crowd and where you can walk for hours (regardless of the season) and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful nature. Belgrade is lucky that one such forest is part of its wider city center, only a few kilometers from the center. Serbian kings also walked in this oasis many years ago, enjoying the peace and beauty of Kosutnjak. Have a picnic and surprise your boyfriend or girlfriend, who we are sure will be delighted with the ambience and will want to immortalize that moment forever in a few photos. For us, Kosutnjak is the most beautiful in autumn, when warm colors are at every step, the leaves rustle under your feet and the air becomes more pleasant and colder.
