7 Beautiful Places in Belgrade Within Walking Distance

Knez Mihailova will walk us through culture and history

Next we’ll proceed to Knez Mihailova, the main pedestrian street in Belgrade, ready to spoil us with an enchanting promenade. Lined by beautiful historical buildings and elegant cafes all along, this will be a walk we’ll remember!

Also known as the Prince Michael Street, it’s one of the city’s landmarks, stepped on daily by hundreds of locals and tourists. It lies between Terazije Square and Kalemegdan and it’s a historical and cultural epicentre. Knez Mihailova is protected by the law due to its mighty value.

Besides stores, restaurants and pubs, we’ll also be able to see The Serbian Academy of Science and Art, the City Library, the Zepter Museum and several cultural centres. So let’s stop and stare whenever something catches our attention – which, from my experience, will be every 5 seconds, but we have all the time in the world, haven’t we?

Did you know that the City Library (which we’ll see along this beautiful street) was formerly the Serbian Crown Hotel, the most modern one in Belgrade, back in the mid 19^th century? Well, now you know!
