Belgrade, Serbia.

Belgrade isn’t an obvious choice, and that’s exactly the point.

24h itinerary

Check-in: Square Nine

This hotel is a blend of mid-century elegance and discreet luxury, complete with a panoramic terrace overlooking the Danube.

Midday: Kalemegdan Fortress
We walk the old stone paths of Kalemegdan, imagining ancient battles while the locals sip coffee like they own the place.

Afternoon: Museum of Contemporary Art
Across the river, the Museum of Contemporary Art feels impossible to skip—Yugoslav masterpieces housed in a brutalist gem by the water.

Early Evening: Savamala
Back across the water into Savamala. Where forgotten buildings have been transformed into galleries, cocktail bars, and everything that defines "cool" in Belgrade’s creative scene.

Dinner: Salon 1905
Dinner in a grand building that doesn’t need to prove anything. Marble columns, warm light, and a menu that mixes history with intent. The kind of place where you talk slower.

Late Night: Along the River
One drink by the water. Maybe two. The city fades behind us and we let it. Belgrade doesn’t rush the ending.
