Byford's Forest Belgrade
Forest for birdwatching
Nedeljko from Belgrade
As we all know, your local host or new friends are grateful if you show some interest in their city. But if you want to astonish them than it would be excellent if you knew some important names from their history. And I don’t mean ancient history, I mean people who shaped Belgrade as it is now. Certainly, if you speak about Timothy John Byford you can't go wrong. Timothy was born in UK, worked for BBC then fell in love and became a citizen of Belgrade. During the ’80s, his influence with his TV children's series on many generations was enormous.
Timothy is not with us any more, but during his life, he very much enjoyed walking through the Banjica forest and was a passionate watcher of the birds nesting in the treetops. Today this forest is named after Timothy, Byford's Forest, and has special government protection. It’s a great walking zone in quite peaceful environment.
Near the forest, you can find public swimming pool “Banjica”, where our great water polo club Partizan practices, tennis courts and an excellent closed gym.

Java Coffee
My go-to iced coffee place
It is a roastery so you can also buy single-origin coffee if you like. My favorite tasty snacks here are raw cakes made of oats and fruit.

Chernyi Cooperative Roasters
Industrial minimalism
This is a self-service, non-smoking place where you can get very nice, high-quality coffee. They also serve breakfast, and have amazing carrot cake!

Sač
The melting pot
"Sač" in Belgrade's Zemun is a restaurant known for its veal and lamb baked 'pod sačom' which makes them absolutely delicious. Curious location, too...

Ljutić
Backyard coolness
"Ljutić" Belgrade is hidden and there's little to announce that it's an ever-growing popular spot. But it's a low profile bar, and I love it for it.

Chillton
Chill at will
"Chillton" is not yet another classic Belgrade apartment club. The atmosphere is shabby, chilled, completely unpretentious. You can be yourself here...

Fijuk Sajam
A trade fair for loonies!
"Fijuk Sajam" in Belgrade is the place to be and see on the first Friday of each month -- here you can find just about anything creative under the sun...

Intergalactic Diner
True American space
Intergalactic Diner in Belgrade is like a restaurant from the '60s US Midwest. You can order a Comet Dog, a Deep Space Chick or Cosmic Pancakes there...

Beogradski Manijak
Deep down and dirty
"Beogradski manijak" in Belgrade gives everyone a much-needed respite. Everything about this bar is without a hint of pretense. Cheap booze, good music!

IMR - Old Factory
Back to socialism!
The old factory of IMR (or Industria Motora Rakovica) in Belgrade used to produce tractors... check out this old socialist façade white it's still there!

Makadam
Made in Serbia
Makadam Belgrade collects various items made in Serbia, like T-shirts, cosmetics, books, puzzles etc under one roof. I can't just not buy things here.

Marukoshi
Straight from Japan
The level of spiciness is just right, and the soups are filled with fresh, tasty vegetables and other ingredients, depending on which ramen you choose.
