Skadarlija
Beograd · Fortress and old town
A 19th-century bohemian quarter — a short cobbled street of kafanas where poets, actors and painters once gathered. Today it's the best place to try Serbian food with live music; old taverns such as "Tri šešira" and "Dva jelena" have been open since the 19th century. Book a table at weekends.

About
Skadarlija (Serbian Cyrillic: Скадарлија) is a vintage street, an urban neighborhood and former municipality of Belgrade, Serbia, located in the Belgrade municipality of Stari Grad (Old Town). Skadarlija partially preserves the ambience of traditional urban architecture, including archaic urban organization, and is known as the main bohemian quarter of Belgrade, similar to Montmartre in Paris. Since 1967, Skadarlija has been protected by law as a spatial cultural-historical unit. After Kalemegdan, Skadarlija is the second-most visited tourist attraction in Belgrade, contributing a third of the city's foreign-currency income.
