Dorćolski kej Belgrade

Tranquil riverside

Sava from Belgrade

Hi! I'm Sava. I was born and raised in Belgrade, and have spent a good chunk of my life exploring and learning about the city I grew up in. I'm a doctor by profession, and I spend most of my free time either reading about my hometown or meeting up with friends for a coffee, usually on a quest to find a new favorite place to hang out at. I am most fascinated by stories from people who ...
"Belgrade's Dorćolski kej is a tranquil riverside escape. With stunning Danube views, green spaces, cafes, bike lanes, and sunsets, perfect for relaxing."

Belgrade is most famous for sitting on the confluence of two major European rivers — Sava and the Danube. While there are several parts of the city with access to the riverside, in my mind, the two most beautiful ones are Zemunski and Dorćolski kej. Being from Dorćol, naturally, I lean more towards the latter. :)

Dorćolski kej is a stretch of the riverside which is separated pretty well from the hustle of the city and its traffic. Easily accessed by the neighboring residential buildings, it is a favorite place for locals to go out in the Sun and walk down the river, enjoying the peace and quiet. It is one of the few places offering a refuge from the noises of Belgrade, and the views over the vast Danube towards distant Zemun are only made more beautiful if you catch a sunset here.

There's something for everyone here: green spaces, cafes, secluded benches, swans to feed, bike lanes to ride down, and even a sports center with indoor and outdoor pools. The riverside path ends at Beton hala, from where you can climb a footbridge to Kalemegdan.

Belgrade Spotter Sava

Hi! I'm Sava. I was born and raised in Belgrade, and have spent a good chunk of my life exploring and learning about the city I grew up in. I'm a doctor by profession, and I spend most of my free time either reading about my hometown or meeting up with friends for a coffee, usually on a quest to find a new favorite place to hang out at. I am most fascinated by stories from people who also grew up in Belgrade, and who each have a different place in the city they love most. It's really fun to find out about new places popping up all the time, especially when you think you've seen it...
