Kosančićev Venac Belgrade

Discover Belgrade's history

Nedeljko from Belgrade

""Kosančićev Venac" is an area in the center of Belgrade near the main touristic spots that is not so popular but which reminds me of the 19th century."

Kosančićev Venac is an area in the city center near the main touristic spots, Kalemegdan fortress and Knez Mihajlova street, but it is not so popular. You should visit it since Kosanćićev Venac represents Belgrade as it was in the 19th century, at the end of the Turkish rule. Most of the buildings are from that period and the streets are made of cobblestone. The street and the whole area are nice for walking and there is a great view over the Sava river and New Belgrade. At the beginning of the street, you will see the ruins of the National Library which was destroyed in WWII during the German bombing.

Skica café is at the end of the street and they have a few tables outside looking over the Sava river. If you go further, you will reach Velike stepenice (big stairs) street, which leads to Sava river and Beton Hala, a trendy restaurant and clubbing place.

On the edge of this area, there are important historical buildings, e.g. Princess Ljubica's Residence, the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel, the Building of the Patriarchate of Serbian Orthodox church and the Museum of Serbian Orthodox church.

Belgrade Spotter Nedeljko

About me I am of the ’69 generation, in soul much younger, born in, living in, and love Belgrade, married, two children. I finished College for tourism but never worked in that industry, have 20 years of experience in foreign trade companies (6 to be precise). Well, enough is enough; I am back to my everlasting passion: working with travelers, writing, cooking, photography. Biking is my most wanted hobby. I explore my own country, and I think it is a good start to explore the world. And, yes, lest I forget, to jump from an airplane before I die! Why Belgrade...

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.

"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...

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!

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.
