Szerb utca – Find silence middle of downtown

The street called „Szerb utca” is just next to the famous Vaci utca. But instead of fancy shops and hundreds of tourist here you can find the area which the inhabitants call „Little Belgrade”.

The Serbian community played a big role int he city’s history. Their ancestors left Serbia because of its occupation by the Ottoman Empire. They built their first church in 1698 and then changed it to the present shape in 1733. The most valuable for the city’s inhabitants in the matter of everyday life of course is the garden, surrounding the church. It can give you a the feeling of total isolation from the outside world, in the heart of the city.

Be aware: it belongs to a church so lying under the sun half naked is not the best idea here. But if you are lucky and you find it opened (mostly on Sundays or on the festivals of the Orthodox community) you can sit down relax or even use the playground in the yard (designed for kids, or really thin adults).
