The city of Belgrade has much to offer to anyone who should decide to visit it. Whether you do it during the summer or during the winter, it does not really matter, because Belgrade has something to offer for everyone during every season. It is founded on the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, and many people see them as lovers making love and Belgrade being their bed. The capital of Serbia is known to be one of the best places for nightlife, partying and clubbing. There are a lot of different clubs and discos all over the town, and one simply cannot get bored with it all. However, this city has to offer a lot more when it comes to different historical buildings and sites, as well as big monuments and other works of art. Let me, in a few words, describe some of them. A visitor who comes to Belgrade should definitely visit the Avala Tower. Avala is a mountain just outside Belgrade where this magnificent tower was built. It is 204 meters high and it certainly is the highest tower in the southeast of Europe. An interesting fact about this tower is that it was destroyed in 1999 during the NATO bombing of Serbia, only to be rebuilt several years later. Many citizens of Serbia volunteered or donated money to see this wonder stand still again and kiss the clouds above Belgrade. During the summer, many citizens as well as many tourists like to visit Ada Ciganlija, which is a river island. People go there to sunbathe, take a swim in the river or just spend leisure time with their friends. Ada was redecorated in the past and now it looks like the seaside. People simply forget that they are actually quite close to the center of Belgrade when they are on Ada. But, when talking of islands and tall buildings, I feel the need to mention the Ada Bridge, which connects the island with the rest of the city. This bridge is indeed magnificent and the tower in the middle of it that holds it is 200 meters high, being able to salute the Avala tower. Whether you believe in God or not, you definitely shouldn’t miss the chance to visit the Cathedral of Saint Sava, which is the 10th largest church building in the world. In my opinion, it is certainly the 1st when it comes to beauty. Both the exterior and the interior are designed and decorated by very famous world architects and it is named after the most important religious figure in the Serbian history – Saint Sava. Sava was not only a priest, but he was also a son of the Serbian King, and the founder of several schools and churches all around the Balkans. The most important building in the more recent history of Serbia is The White Palace (Beli Dvor) located at Dedinje – a neighborhood in Belgrade. The Palace is important because the Serbian King used to live there up to the Second World War. After the war, it was used by the Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito. The palace is spread over the area of one hundred acres, and it contains many parks, garages etc. This palace also has many works of art, many of which are portraits of the royal family and their relatives. The royal house is a small labyrinth itself. Without a proper tour guide, one could easily get lost and remain trapped in numerous rooms for a very long time. There are many other important and beautiful places in Belgrade that should be visited. However, experiencing the city fully takes time and you will certainly need rooms to spend a night or two while you are having a tour. Belgrade has much to offer when it comes to accommodation. There are a few hotels that are known to provide the best service in this part of Europe. Lodging in Belgrade is very affordable. You can have rooms of very high quality for much less money than in other European cities. To sum up, Belgrade has much to offer to everyone who should decide to visit it. Apart from landmarks, there are loads of clubs and other places to party and have fun. However, in order to do all of that, you will need to find a suitable room where you should stay, and the variety of rooms to choose from is limitless. Visit Belgrade and have fun!
