Fun fact. St. Mark's Church is the burial place of emperor Dušan "The Mighty" Nemanjić, emperor of Serbs and Greeks. At his time he was the most powerful monarch in Europe and the first one who brought a constitution in which he limited the powers of the church, nobles and himself. He also introduced a law where the only way to issue a death penalty was by unanimous vote of the tribunal, so no one, including himself, could not execute someone. Not just Christian countries but even the Ottoman Turks copied some of his laws into their own political system.
Man, you haven't visited underground Belgrade, under the Kalemegdan fortress there are underground tunnels that date back to the Roman Empire and stretch almost below the whole of Belgrade. Only here you can not enter alone, there are tourist guides and tourist tours that are scheduled and the tour lasts almost 2 and a half hours. If you ever come again, be sure to visit. Greetings from Belgrade
Since I watched some of your videos and I know that you have been in Serbia for quite some time, it is too late to say welcome. :D But I can say - enjoy your stay. :D Thank you guys for promoting us, and congratulations for finding the "almost" perfect country to live in :D
I absolutely love your video. It brought memories, woke emotions and made my eyes watery. I am half Serb-half Croat from a small town in Vojvodina with relative Hungarian majority, and went to schools and lived in both, Novi Sad and Belgrade during late 80's and early to mid 90's. I have been living in the US for 23 years now. I was in northern Serbia this Spring and Summer, and going back in a few weeks again. I LOVE your video, and how it is made with so much positivity, love and kindness. Thank you!
Hey I've been in Belgrade 3 months now and still love it! Still feel like there's lots to explore even though I have a good lay of the land now. Come back soon the summer vibes here are awesome!
@@aliy986 well there is but usually I'm one of the bigger guys always, but if I have to look through the average, there's a lot of people around my hight, it's pretty normal to be tall man in the Serbia but we have little guys too.
Wow! I can't believe this vid actually brought me to tears. I've visited Belgrade a couple times and love it - but I just didn't realise how much I miss travelling!
fun fact, Celts made fortress first then Romans took it and since then it was reinforced by different kingdoms, empires and so forth but since VI. century it was predominantly Slavic aka Serbian by population, nowadays standing walls and towers are mixture of Serbian and K und K style. few miles down the Daube is one of the oldest settlements in Europe so far, Vinča. great job overall, precise, cheers from Belgrade.
One thing is too bad the weather now is much better, nice video thank you. And for the list it is quite big let say one "Lepenski Vir" near Donji Milanovac at the Danube river the oldest city in Europe very old ruins that where all start for Europe
Jimmy I am so glad that you had nice time in my home time. With your video it pops up some "old" memories I experienced while living there. Thank you so much
It's a place I have always wanted to go to and as usual you make these videos so good to watch and sooooo interesting, informative and inspiring. Thanks buddy and love you loads for posting this.👍💗
Can you imagine what you discover and what kind impression in every momment you have, and sky is limit, we are so proud about your imression, you are welcome! Take care!
You do realize there is apart from the outside exhibition an actual museum inside the fortress? It charges a modest admission fee and contains literally all eras of Serbian warfare, from medieval times to the Serbian uprisings to WWI and WWII to the remains of the downed F117 Stealth Fighter.
Amazing! You like my home town ☺️ But you MUST visit Ada Ciganlija lake, Košutnjak woods, Ada Medjica and promenade at Sava mala or Belgrade waterfront area. These are MUST SEE 😁☺️
Hey Jim, Love the repeat of your Serbia trip. It seems you add a little more each time and that is very cool, because we get more visual and information of your time spent. I love history and this place would be a dream for me, I would be lost in each place I visited as my wife would be not interested. We were thinking of sharing some time in Croatia and Serbia and travel between by train. We want the Croatian beaches and then the city. I hope you are doing well and your photo business is going well. Like the shirt you are sporting by the way. just wondering if you are going to show us the house you said you were going to build and your local life " private of course". Take care Jim and peace brother.
Belgrade is the city who can organize Olimpic games without to go outside of the city. You didn't mention two rivers Sava and Danube, lake Ada Ciganlija
Have you done a post or video on real estate agents in Belgrade? I will move there in a month or so and need to find a studio or 1BR in the city center for around $300 per month. If you did a video on how to find such places in Belgrade and a few agents w/ their contact info, I'm sure it would get a lot of views and engagement. Thanks. AirBnB seems to only have more-expensive listings.
@Divert Living Don't forget to visit Kula city in Serbia. Also visit Subotica, Kragujevac and Niš. All those cities have so much to offer :) If you ever come to my city "Kula" it will my huge honer to be your tour guide all around the city :) Please visit us again during this summer :) I'm a teacher of English language here in Serbia so you have no problem with the communication and you have to learn some serbian words :)
11.57 YOU there is JUST LIKE US.... JUST GET YOUR ARMS OUT and with out you know you praise GOD heavenly creation of JOY - and Happiness of the free soul and natures beauy.
You should at the very least visit the places that NATO bombed. Just in Belgrade there are lots of them. Like a ex military headquarters aka generalštab ( g like in Greg), you can't miss it because it's a destroyed building in the middle of Belgrade really close to the government building.
Be shocked by fake news who's represent us in the world as terrorists.... but fact is u as tourist less chanse to get attack or rob, then in any part of USA. And history....what to say, we have churches older then 1500 years.... Welcome and enjoy in Serbia. Btw do not forget to try rakija and cevapi :)
Great video! James Asquith made a hilarious video when he flew to Belgrade. His aviation channel is so underrated, you should definitely check him out.
I’m serbian living in Spain… Your video literally brought me to tears. I realized how much I miss my country. Before moving to Spain I lived in front of the St. Sava Temple… Thank you for this beautiful video 🙏🥲😊
Great video bro! Thanks for promoting Belgrade. Chris and you did an awesome job, well done! 👌🙏 I would recommend a couple of more places in the city (especially nice outside the winter season): 1) Ada Ciganlija (the Belgrade sea) - it is a huge island on the Sava river, parks, bars, sports grounds, beach... a ton of fun things to sea and do... The circle around the lake is 7km long but you'll need a full day to explore everything 2) Košutnjak (the lungs of Belgrade) - a huge forest park on the outskirts of Belgrade (25 minutes from the city center and less than 10 minutes from Ada by bus), a very popular weekend spot for everyone (sport grounds, barbecues, nice hiking paths...) 3) Bulevar - earlier known as Boulevard of Revolution, today has a name of the King Alexander, is the main shopping avenue stretching from the city center, passing the famous Vuk's monument and park (a lot of faculties around) for next couple of kilometers 4) Veliko ratno ostrvo (The Big War Island) - laying at the meeting point of two rivers, Sava and Danube, it is accessible only by boat from Zemun, and it is famous for its popular beach - Lido, an alternative to Ada beach, alson it is popular bird watching place 5) Sava quay - popular strolling pedestrian zone on the bank of river Sava, full of bars, restaurants and night clubs all of them built as a floating objects on the water (they are called "splavovi" which literally translates as rafts), there's a similar quay on the bank of Danube, too. 6) The destroyed building of main Army Headquarter in the very center of the city, just across the Government building - destroyed in 1999 NATO bombing - a reminder of the ultimate war in the Balkans 7) Museum of Nikola Tesla - dedicated to one of the most important Serbians (if you haven't noticed we put him on 100 dinars bill, too) 8) Belgrade Waterfront - if you like huge metal/glass structures with hotels, shopping malls and restaurants - this controversial project may be for you. It is located in the very center, 10 minutes by foot from the main square and despite all the affairs around it - seems to be the next big popular touristic spot in the city Well, there are tons of galleries, theaters, parks, shopping malls, markets, museums, night life spots and everything in between. Belgrade is the most vibrant city in this part of Europe and it is a real shame you haven't visited it during the "normal" year. It is home to many cultural and sport events, by far the most popular and consistent is Belgrade Beer Fest that lasts for 4 days and is held in the end of August. 🍻
The Big War Island is a great one!!! I don't know why would anyone go to Bulevar though. Bulevar would've been interesting 20 years ago with all of the street vendors. For somebody in the US or the west who buys everything in the supermarket, going to Bajloni, Kalenić or some other market, seeing people selling on their stands, yelling, bragaining would be really interesting. Pančevački buvljak (Pančevo flea market) would be an experience of a lifetime. That is crazy, even for locals. I would've recommended Zemun flea market 2 years ago, but the communal police is not allowing them anymore. Some blocks in New Belgrade and its architecture is really interesting to many people.
You must see all this places when you come again : some of mountains 👉 Zlatibor,Tara,Fruška gora,Stara planina... ; and more beautiful places 👉 Uvac,Djavolja Varoš,Golubac,Palić,Srebrno jezero,Krupajsko vrelo,tvrdjava Bač,Beśenovačko jezero,Perućac...I hope you will enjoy !💕🇷🇸
The next time you come to Serbia, visit the city of Smederevo, especially when the wine festival is in September. Smederevo is only 45 km away from Belgrade.
Not really...It was built by Celts around 200 BC and it was called than Singidunum (which means white city , because the first fortification was made of white stone. City is still called white city - Beo|grad). Romans did expand the fort , using bricks but they used some of original white stone as well , which is still there , in central walls of the fortress.
@@pedjamilosavljevic6235 was it really built by Celts, tho? Where would've these Celts come from? And how come no remnants of the Celtic culture exist in Belgrade? To su bili Srbi, brate.
@@honeyhearts4844 originalno ime je - Singidunum , kovanica keltskih reči za beo, beli (singi) i dunum (utvrđena naseobina, grad). Jedino ako pretpostavimo da su grad izgradili Vinčanci , a da se zna samo za keltsko ime , te da su Srbi , u stvari , potekli od pra kulture iz Vinče. Međutim , ako je bilo konkretnih i preovlađujućih dokaza za to , verovatno su nestali prilikom bombardovanja Beograda i uništenja narodne biblioteke. Činjenica je da je glavni i široko prihvaćeni pravac nacionalne istorije došao od tzv "bečke škole" i da tu nisu baš čista posla...
You should visit the Nikola Tesla's museum, also a place called Botanička Bašta (Herbal Garden),with the Japanese garden in it, and a ring of restaurants by the Danube river in Zemun (awesome food there).
The temple of Saint Sava is one of the largest Orthodox places of worship on Earth. Saint Sava "The Illuminator" is credited with literacy and the expansion of culture, education and the spiritual uplift of the Serbian people. When the Ottomans occupied Belgrade, St. Sava's remains were burned in an attempt to defile them and crush the spirit of the people. The old story says, that when his Remains were burned the winds swept the embers of his charred bones and carried them over Belgrade blowing them into the eyes of the cities inhabitants. As the story goes, ever since that night the citizens of Belgrade have carried a glow in their eyes within themselves.
Some other ‘must’s in Belgrad : Tesla museum / jelisaveta nacic’s marvelous architecture works (she is the first architect of Serbia) and of course Novi Sad 👍
