Kralja Petra street Belgrade
A walk through history
While Knez Mihailova (rightfully) holds the title of the most famous street in Belgrade, one of the streets intersecting it is perhaps even more interesting historically, though often overlooked. Kralja Petra is a street that crosses the heart of the city, and practically connects the two major rivers Belgrade sits on: Sava and the Danube.
Not only that, it connects Kosančićev venac (historically the old Serbian part of Belgrade), Gornji Dorćol/Zerek and Dorćol (historically the old Turkish and Jewish parts of Belgrade). Walking the street from one end to the other introduces you to some of the most important buildings of three religions (the seat of the Serbian Orthodox church - Saborna crkva, the Jewish community building, and the only remaining mosque in Belgrade — the Bajrakli mosque).
I love walking down this street because it really does feel like a walk through history. It also helps that some of my favorite food and drink spots in the city are located on it. Crna Ovca is the perfect place to cool down with a delicious artisan ice cream, and Popy Coffee is a small local coffee shop with some of the friendliest service in town.
If all of the above isn't enough to keep you occupied while you walk down this cobblestone street, there is plenty of (window) shopping to do as well — from the oldest perfumery in Belgrade to the glitzy brands in Rajićeva shopping center. One thing's for sure — just like Belgrade, Kralja Petra street has something for everyone.

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.

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...

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...

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!

Back to socialism!

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.

Agi Pasta Gundulićev venac
Tasty and quick
Agi Pasta is my go-to spot when I need a quick lunch, as it's ready in under 10 minutes. I usually get pasta arrabbiata, which they make perfectly spicy!
