Thanks for watching our video! We had such a great time in Belgrade and we are glad that we got the chance to visit Serbia, and especially taste the delicious food! We have more videos from Serbia coming up, including a food tour. We also visited two more cities. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! Is there any place we should definitely visit in Serbia when we are back in the future or any food we need to try? Let us know in the comments! 😀 Brandon & Anja
@@kirepesov9999 Thank you! Someone else commented and told us it's Serbian. 😂 The origin appears to be up to debate, according to what we've seen on the internet. All we know is that it's really delicious, no matter where it's from. 😁
@@wherearewe-yt You are welcome in Romania! I'm from Transylvania. Transylvania is the garden of God's Mother said Pope Francisc when he visited Romania. I recommend to You to visit Romania in summer to see our mountains beauty, Transfăgărășan and Transalpina roads , the bears, the Wild flowers on the fields, the forests. Here, every church, every forest, every ruine, every castle, every river has a story.It's an amazing country for me. You will see.
Serbia is so beautiful Country and City and wonderful. The people welcome from EVERYWHERE from THE WORLD and i am from Albania but i love Serbia i know everything for Serbia.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I am from Serbia, my Albanian friend. I love difference culturals and people. I want to know many about Albania. Do you want to be my friend, if you want to talking about your country? Its okey if you not want, both are okey.
@@Anja275 We had a great time. The people were very friendly, and welcoming to us. We had many pleasant interactions while we were there! It made our trip memorable.
In Serbia, we like to eat and drink well. I met Italians who are delighted with pizza, pasta and espresso in Belgrade. Everything we make from food, we make well, not only local and traditional specialties. I am glad that you liked Belgrade and come to us again!
We ate so much food in Serbia and everything was so delicious! We also noticed that there were so many pizza restaurants everywhere, which we didn't expect. We concluded "Serbians must really love pizza!", haha. Our next video coming out next week is actually a food tour that we did in Belgrade and Novi Sad, so make sure to check it out 😊. We'll definitely be back in Serbia in the future. We didn't get to see Niš and other areas this time. Thanks for watching! Hvala!
@@wherearewe-yt When you go south to Nis, be sure to go to Pirot. Pirot also has a superb grill ( kafana Ladna voda), the best pizza in Serbia and beyond.( pizzeria Mamma Rossa🍕). What is also important for Pirot are two unique delicacies from that region peglana kobasica (ironed sausage) and pirotski kačkavalj (Pirot cheese🧀). I hope that you will come to Serbia again soon and visit the south and east of Serbia, which are truly special. All your shows were great and you are very pleasant.
I was in Belgrade for a month last summer! It was hot as h*ll, but it was one of the coolest cities I've ever been in. Amazing food and welcoming people. 😊
We've heard it can get quite hot in the Summer! We were there at the end of January, and it was quite nice. A bit chilly, but not too bad. The people really were great, as was the food! We just released our food video a few minutes ago, actually. So many great dishes. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Hvala! We absolutely loved our time in Serbia. We were only able to explore cities this time around. Next time we hope to see more of the wonderful nature. Thanks for watching! 😁
Welcome to Serbia. I'm glad you enjoy it here. About Rakija, yes some people drink a shot in the morning with coffee. One you tried is cooked Rakija, as we cook wine also in the winter. Try regular from plum or apricot. Salad you eat with the meat, not before. Bucko means Chubby.
Oooooh. With coffee. That would be nice. This cooked version was a great way to start a cold day. We have a food video coming up next, where we try rakija again. By the end of the trip we actually tried six different varieties. We had grape, pear, quince, raspberry, honey and apricot! The strength seemed to vary quite significantly. 😂
In generally all Balkan countries are beautiful, great landscapes and nice people.. Belgrade is beautiful, and to me favorites are Novi Sad and Bor, beautiful architechture in NS ,and nature and lakes in Bor... greets from 🇭🇷 ..🙃
Our next video is actually from Novi Sad (followed by Subotica)! We haven't been to Bor though. We hope to see more of the nature in the future. This trip was only cities, unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
@@wherearewe-yt When you go to Bor (Eastern Serbia) be sure to visit Golubačka and Ramska fortresses on the Danube and the Rajačke pivnice (Rajacke wine cellar🍷). It would be good to visit the city of Smederevo, which is close to Belgrade, there is a huge medieval fortress in Smederevo. That fortress is the second largest plain fortress in the whole of Europe.
It was so much better than we thought! We wanted to go back again to try with a different salad, but we ran out of time. Would be perfect after a few drinks. 😵💫😂
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting our wonderful country.. ❤️🇷🇸 Wellcome to Serbia and Belgrade 🇷🇸❤️ Thank you for talking so nicely about us, our food, our people. 🙏 Belgrade has always been a metropolis. Belgrade was also the capital of the great Yugoslavia. You are both great and very nice and good people 🙂❤️ I wish that Serbia and Belgrade remain in your best memories, and that you come back again. ❤️🇷🇸❤️
Thank you for saying all that! I hope you have the chance to watch the rest of our Serbia series. We still have three more videos to come. We had a great time!
It is! We have a Serbian Food video coming out in two hours actually, so check it out. We had some pretty unreal food. Especially all the grilled meat..oh man. So good!
@@wherearewe-yt True, I am from Slovenia, at the edge of Balkan but I know Serbian food very well because we lived in the same country (Yugoslavia) for many years. If you ask me, Serbian cousine is the second best of the world, I prefer Italian food , but Serbian is very close. .
@@kavbojctinko4131 We are just leaving Slovenia right now! We are at the bus station, actually. 😂 We went to Maribor and Ptuj. If you stick around, those videos will probably be out in another 4-5 weeks. We had lots of great food here as well. It certainly felt like a mix of Italian, Balkan, and even Austrian food that we've had in the past (well, because we were already in the Styria region, but in Graz). It was actually difficult to find straight up "Slovenian" restaurants here, but we did our best! Haha.
Hahaha. I know, right? The meatballs were so good! We had a bunch of amazing food while we there. Our next video is actually a food tour. Belgrade was super beautiful. We really enjoyed it.
A great vlog guys 😊 We never knew about the pizza with the sauce but it looks interesting! The Gibanica looks delicious (we tried this during our food tour) but it didn't look like this!
Thanks for watching! We learned that Bucko pizza was kind of a Belgrade staple, but we didn't want to include it in our food tour because it doesn't seem to be a thing elsewhere in the country (though we could be wrong). It was actually much better than we expected! We wanted to go back again before we left Belgrade, but just couldn't find the time. Gibanica was hard to track down! I found the same place you guys went to, but then we ended up finding it on the menu of the restaurant we went to for our first impressions video - so we decided to just tick it off then. Already had WAY too many items on our food tour. Ended up showing 14 things. Woops. 😂
That drink on @10:00 Its name means "bitter leaf" and alludes to its supposed herbal healing properties. 😂 Belive, sometimes work. Especially when you drink half of bottle 😊
@@wherearewe-ytit's pretty much an off shoot of Jaeger and other similar herbal bitter liquors. Comes across bitter at first but it very smooth. I prefer to enjoy it super cold
Drago mi je da. Srbija vas je iznenadila. To je divna zemlja. Ali neki ljudi nas mrze. kad već govorite o Srbiji. odmah će vam reći. Zašto Srbija zašto ići u tu zemlju. oni su loši ljudi. Mnogo mi znači. Da vi vidite istinu o mojoj zemlji. Nadam se da ću videti još snimaka iz Srbije na vaše kanalom. Srce mi srećan! Bravo!
We absolutely loved in. The people were extremely friendly and welcoming to us, so we had a great time. We also loved the food! We actually have FOUR more Serbia videos coming up, so subscribe and stay tuned!
Dobrodošli u Srbiju i lepo se provedite u Beogradu. U Srbiji su ljudi gostoljubivi i veoma srdačni sa turistima koji dolaze u Srbiju...Pita je sa sirom a burek je samo sa mesom...Još jednom dobrodošli i lepo se provedite...Mi u Srbiji imamo veliko srce i ogromanu dušu sa ljudima koji dolaze u Srbiju..🇷🇸
They were! We were treated very well in Serbia, and had many memorable interactions with locals actually. Talked with some great bartenders, friendly waiters and baristas. They made our time in Serbia special.
Everyone keeps saying that the food in Nis is great 🙂. This makes us very curious. We'll probably be back in the summer to check out the south of Serbia 😊
Vi ste tako divni i prijatni, lepo je gledati i slusati pozitivne ljude. Imate neverovatnu harizmu. Imate prirodne i iskrene reakcije posebno vas krasi osmeh. Nadam se da ste uzivali u Srbiji i Beogradu? Posetite i manja mesta, banje, planine, necete se pokajati. I na kraju zelim da Vam se zahvalim na ovom lepom videu i sto se osecam ponosnim na svoj grad ❤
You two made my day. We Serbs love it when our guests come and they are satisfied. We have more history than such a small space can handle. Perhaps the best way to get to know ours is through food. I wish you a pleasant stay in Serbia.
“Gorki list” that you have tasted is actually “Bitter Leaf” when translated, so yeah, expected to be exactly that 😂 Its a mix of several herbs which gives him the unique, bitter taste. It’s also quite healthy, when consumed properly. 😅 Glad you enjoyed your stay in Serbia, it’s a super welcoming country with great food, traditions and people in general.
Hahaha. Yes, it was quite bitter. Much more than we had anticipated. We had a great time in Serbia, and have a lot more videos (and a lot more food) to come. New food video is actually out tomorrow!
Everyone's welcome in Serbia if you bring good will. Glad you liked your time spent here, it's my native city and there's much more to see and taste here in Belgrade as well as alot more in the other cities. Takes time though so do come visit our neck of the woods again and enjoy your stay. 🙂
Thanks! We had only four days in Belgrade, and then a few days split between Novi Sad and Subotica. It wasn't enough! We do have four more videos coming, so stick around. We will likely come back to Serbia to explore more (but in nicer weather).
Noël en janvier en Serbie c’est normal. Ils sont orthodoxes comme les Russes et le Noël orthodoxe c’est le 7 janvier puis vient le nouvelle an orthodoxe le 14 janvier. Donc les déco de Noël en janvier c,est normal, prenez des renseignements avant.
Srbi su narod sa istorijom,tradicijom i kulturnim bogastvima, mi smo slovenski narod,nismo osvajacki nastrojeni, zemlja koja je prva ukinula robstvo...a to govori dosta o nama.
@@wherearewe-yt ја као рођени београђанин вам препоручујем где је добра храна а ви истражујте и идите где хоћете, у сваком случају пријатан боравак у Србији 🇷🇸
Anja is actually German! The Pelinkovac is much more bitter, but it does has a similar herby taste. I (Brandon) prefer harder liquors like whisky or rakija, for sure. 😁🥃
I know we are tourists ourselves, but we often tend to enjoy places that may not be as "popular" of tourist destinations as others. Over tourism tends to spoil many capital cities. Belgrade didn't feel that way at all. At the same time, we felt very welcomed in Serbia while we were there. Not being on the radar just makes it that much sweeter when you visit a place you don't know much about, and it ends up being a gem.
Thanks for watching! We loved our time in Serbia. We just posted our food tour, only two hours ago. Check it out, and let us know if we missed any of your favorites. We have three more videos coming as well, and will likely be coming back..so if you have any suggestions, let us know. 😉
You chose all the nice places to visit! Bucko took me down a memory lane - in Belgrade it's considered a cheap but very caloric meal, which is why it is all-time popular among students and clubbers (I remember 20-something-old myself waiting in the endless line at 3.30 AM to get two pieces). And they say Pelinkovac is an acquired taste, it's more popular among 50+ years old folks :D glad you had fun! Plus, you also chose the best time of the year to come, because the summer here is unbearable (40+ degrees).
We actually loved Bucko. Hahaha. Totally unexpected! We thought the "salad" would be too much, but it was SO GOOD. We regret not trying two, but we were filming a good video at the same time (you should check it out if you haven't seen it). Everyone told us to try the Pelinkovac with Coca-Cola or Pepsi. I can imagine that would make it more tolerable. 😅 We had a great time! The weather was quite nice. I (Brandon) am from Canada, so even though it was winter, it was nothing compared to what I grew up with..🥶
@@wherearewe-yt yeah, the pizza itself is not worth much without the "salad" (I also always thought it's funny it's called salad because it's clearly a topping and way too greasy). And two pieces would be an overkill if you have a job to do, it only works if you're completely wasted (or young and have a super-fast metabolism). Yeah, Pelinkovac can be toned down a bit if combined with some sweeter drink, otherwise it tastes like medicine. Same as rakija, Pelinkovac has a long tradition of being used in medical purposes. As for the winters, we really don't have them anymore. This February we had 15-18°C, which is really hot for that time of the year. Although I wouldn't like to experience Canadian winter (it's famously harsh), it's still a pity the climate has changed so insanely.
We walked everywhere during this trip, so we stuck mostly to the center this time around. We only really had time for main attractions this time. If we come back, we will have to venture out further. Thanks for watching!
Pelinkovac is a bitter plant, and added to rakija makes a special drink. There are other berries or roots added to rakija, because rakija in Serbia is a universal MEDICINE 😁
Hvala! We really enjoyed it. We visited a few other cities (Novi Sad and Subotica) so we have a few more videos coming up. I think we'll be back in a few months so visit the south and to eat more Burek, haha 😂

Welcome to Serbia dear friends! I hope you will visit us again.
Pelinkovac you should drink ice cold it tastes better and on top of that it's made from all these healthy plants that's why it's bitter. Šopska salad is usually eaten with main dishes as a compliment to a meal.
I just noticed someone else comment the same thing. Haha. Next time we will try with ice, and also mixed with coke. Those were by far the most common recommendations.
Serbia, as other orthodox part of the world, celebrate Christmas on 1-7 and new year is celebrate 1/14. That’s why all Christmas decoration are still there in January
I am Serbia here and i wanted to thank to come to Serbia. I am hoping guys would like to come to Nis, because it is also an amazing as well. Been living in since since 2002, so its already 2 decades.
You two are very brave travellers to be travelling around different countries in winter! I guess, there are no crowds and no competition when visiting popular places. Only problem is that winter time is when places are often closed for annual cleaning or renovations.
I (Brandon) am from Canada, so the winters in most of Europe are quite pleasant compared to what I grew up with (up to -30C, and worse with the wind). As you read, it can also be quite empty, which is great! We went to Athens in the winter one year, and it was great. Had all the main attractions mostly to ourselves! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt Oddly enough, some Canadian family just moved to Russia and they said that they are not bothered by Russian winter at all. On other hand an Australian family is trying to build a temporary house in Altai, Siberia and their latest video has them bravely trying to clear snow from their house site in what seems to be a blizzard. Very uncomfortable conditions. Perhaps it would not bother you but I would have stayed indoors.
I am laughing so hard at your experience with rakia. I had never heard of it and when I finally visited my roots in Bulgaria, it was so strong. I think this must mean moonshine? I heard the word rakija and instantly thought "Oh no".
We tried it in our food tour as well, and that one was so strong, it made me (Brandon) pull a jaw muscle when I tried it. That reaction is in the intro to that video. 😂 It DEFINITELY varies greatly in alcohol percentage. Some were quite nice, while others could strip paint off of a car.
@@wherearewe-yt ,,...when the army returns to Kosovo''. Our country has problems with terrorism in the southern province of Kosovo for a long time. The Albanian national minority in Serbia, with the support of the entire West (EU/NATO, USA), has been violently trying to take away history and part of our territory. Those are some other topics that you don't need to deal with, I just wanted to point out that I'm glad because that graffiti also fell into the frame of your video. I am also glad that you visited our country, I hope you had a nice time without any inconvenience. You are always welcome back ✌🏼
The bar itself is called Kultura. That second clip was the menu I filmed inside, which said "Koktel Karta"! Haha. Thanks so much for watching. We still have four more videos coming, so don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. 😃
Serbia has many different brandies aged with medicinal herbs cured inside the bottle. 'Pelinkovac' being one of those and 'Travarica' being another. Supposedly each medicinal herb has healing properties in helping with various ailments. Those herbs are mostly harvested on high mountains in Serbia. There a few more "medicinal brandies" on the market there but I left Yugo decades ago and forgot most of it.
South of Belgrade, I recommend the fortresses of Golubac, Ram, Smederevo and Niš. Go see Drvengrad built by Kusturica as well as Oplenac. Good discoveries.
Hahaha. It's all good! No matter where we go, there will always be someone who gets angry about something we do or say. In the UK someone got mad at how Anja holds her cutlery. 😂 Thanks so much for commenting and watching. We appreciate it! 😃
@peka: dont worry, most countries have over-enthusiastic ppl - and with some reflection everyone could know that and not generalize (as long there are not 99% haters;) ... and actually, from a more neutral point of view, attacking and blaming someone for not knowing something is a good way to make sure information is memorized - as long one gets not inflationary blamed for everything. the right balance is key here! ;)
In my opinion the best food is in the small outlying cities. And yes, if it grows, Serbs will find a way to turn it into whiskey i.e.: plum, cherry, peach, apple, pear, queens etc. Their soups and meat are out of this world also. If you get a chance put kajmak (butter) on their cornbread (proja). My wife was born there, and we make regular trips.
We would have loved to see some more smaller cities, but without a car, it's a bit difficult. We've had quite a few recommendations for places to visit for food. Especially in the south! We love cornbread, so that sounds delicious.
I'm from Serbia, so let me clarify some things about pizza from Bucko before Italians get stroke 😂First the salad, it's actually a salad, not salad dressing.. This type of salad is a slavic thing I think. Inside of them there is actually a lot of vegetables, but since they are mixed with mayo, cream cheese and usually mustard, tomato sauce etc, they end up looking like a dressing :) For dear Italians, we don't even consider that pizza to be an actual pizza. Bucko is literally the only place in whole Serbia that I know of, where you can get this type of pizza with salad. Look at it as format of pizza, but not a recreation of Italian dish 😂 Because you can't imagine the taste, it's so unique that there is literally no reference anyone could use to describe it. Chicken salad one is literally to die for
I'm sure Italians are used to other countries butchering their food by now. I'm Canadian, and we invited Hawaiian pizza (and I love it). 😂 I'm sure on paper, Bucko would sound bad to many people- but it was freakin' delicious.
We love to eat! We may be a travel channel, but there is a major focus on food - because that's what most people want to see. Showing interesting sites and talking about history are always the "dips" in a video where people skip over. 😆 We saw a lot of the city in a short amount of time, but when it gets dark so early in the winter, we can only film until around 16:30 as well. We see a lot more than what makes it into videos. 🙂
Thanks for watching our video! We had such a great time in Belgrade and we are glad that we got the chance to visit Serbia, and especially taste the delicious food! We have more videos from Serbia coming up, including a food tour. We also visited two more cities. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!

It's not so strange....if you were more informed and not so ignorant....you would know that the Serbian New Year is on January 13
Good video, but I have one correction where you say that the salad is Bulgarian.The salad is from MACEDONIA (MACEDONIA).
@@kirepesov9999 Thank you! Someone else commented and told us it's Serbian. 😂

I found the same place you guys went to, but then we ended up finding it on the menu of the restaurant we went to for our first impressions video - so we decided to just tick it off then. Already had WAY too many items on our food tour. Ended up showing 14 things. Woops. 😂
🇷🇸👍👍👍👍👍have a Great Time in Serbien 🔥
Thanks! We had a great time. We still have four more videos coming, so stick around. 🍻
Looks like a beautiful place. Food looked great! I live vicariously through your travels! ❤
It was! And the food was so good. 👌
That drink on @10:00 Its name means "bitter leaf" and alludes to its supposed herbal healing properties. 😂 Belive, sometimes work. Especially when you drink half of bottle 😊
We've been told by a few people to try it with coke. We're going to try it that way next time! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt Add ice 🧊 😋 Sometimes i drink it here too. Enjoy 😉
@@wherearewe-ytit's pretty much an off shoot of Jaeger and other similar herbal bitter liquors. Comes across bitter at first but it very smooth. I prefer to enjoy it super cold
I love how you told the story about my city ❤ Come back soon, plenty more to see ☺️
We're glad you liked the video! We have three more to come, and hope to come back in the future and see more of the country. 😁
Drago mi je da. Srbija vas je iznenadila. To je divna zemlja. Ali neki ljudi nas mrze. kad već govorite o Srbiji. odmah će vam reći. Zašto Srbija zašto ići u tu zemlju. oni su loši ljudi. Mnogo mi znači. Da vi vidite istinu o mojoj zemlji. Nadam se da ću videti još snimaka iz Srbije na vaše kanalom. Srce mi srećan! Bravo!
We absolutely loved in. The people were extremely friendly and welcoming to us, so we had a great time. We also loved the food! We actually have FOUR more Serbia videos coming up, so subscribe and stay tuned!

Dobrodošli u Srbiju i lepo se provedite u Beogradu. U Srbiji su ljudi gostoljubivi i veoma srdačni sa turistima koji dolaze u Srbiju...Pita je sa sirom a burek je samo sa mesom...Još jednom dobrodošli i lepo se provedite...Mi u Srbiji imamo veliko srce i ogromanu dušu sa ljudima koji dolaze u Srbiju..🇷🇸
They were! We were treated very well in Serbia, and had many memorable interactions with locals actually. Talked with some great bartenders, friendly waiters and baristas. They made our time in Serbia special.
All the best guys
Thanks so much! Same to you.
Najbolja hrana na balkanu ti je u Nisu,dodjite snimite proverite.Najbolji burek najbolji rostilj i ljubazni ljudi.
Everyone keeps saying that the food in Nis is great 🙂. This makes us very curious. We'll probably be back in the summer to check out the south of Serbia 😊
@@wherearewe-yt Bravo 👏👏👌👌👌👏👏👏
Vi ste tako divni i prijatni, lepo je gledati i slusati pozitivne ljude. Imate neverovatnu harizmu. Imate prirodne i iskrene reakcije posebno vas krasi osmeh. Nadam se da ste uzivali u Srbiji i Beogradu? Posetite i manja mesta, banje, planine, necete se pokajati. I na kraju zelim da Vam se zahvalim na ovom lepom videu i sto se osecam ponosnim na svoj grad ❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching. We hope to see more nature the next time we visit, and more of the south. 😁
You two made my day. We Serbs love it when our guests come and they are satisfied. We have more history than such a small space can handle. Perhaps the best way to get to know ours is through food. I wish you a pleasant stay in Serbia.
Hvala! Glad you enjoyed. We had an amazing time.
“Gorki list” that you have tasted is actually “Bitter Leaf” when translated, so yeah, expected to be exactly that 😂 Its a mix of several herbs which gives him the unique, bitter taste. It’s also quite healthy, when consumed properly. 😅 Glad you enjoyed your stay in Serbia, it’s a super welcoming country with great food, traditions and people in general.
Hahaha. Yes, it was quite bitter. Much more than we had anticipated. We had a great time in Serbia, and have a lot more videos (and a lot more food) to come. New food video is actually out tomorrow!
Thanks for your visit :)
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your video,
I feel God has bigger plan for your life.
What you doing is beautiful but what you will do in future it will be amazing.
Let's hope so! Thanks for watching. 😃
Србија је веома лепа и добра, дочекује мисионаре из разних земаља и такође је дивна, да.
It was beautiful, and we had a great time while we were there. 😃
Hi from Belgrade i work in that dino park at kalemegdan fortress really happy you showed it
That's awesome! Haha. Wish we could have checked it out a bit.
Fantastic duo.❤
Thank you!
Everyone's welcome in Serbia if you bring good will. Glad you liked your time spent here, it's my native city and there's much more to see and taste here in Belgrade as well as alot more in the other cities. Takes time though so do come visit our neck of the woods again and enjoy your stay. 🙂
Thanks! We had only four days in Belgrade, and then a few days split between Novi Sad and Subotica. It wasn't enough! We do have four more videos coming, so stick around. We will likely come back to Serbia to explore more (but in nicer weather).
Noël en janvier en Serbie c’est normal. Ils sont orthodoxes comme les Russes et le Noël orthodoxe c’est le 7 janvier puis vient le nouvelle an orthodoxe le 14 janvier. Donc les déco de Noël en janvier c,est normal, prenez des renseignements avant.
Thanks for watching!
Come again in may or june when it's spring. And then you will experience true satisfaction in Serbia. Thanks
We would definitely like to come back during a nicer time of year. Hopefully next time!
Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍
It was. Thanks for watching!
Srbi su narod sa istorijom,tradicijom i kulturnim bogastvima, mi smo slovenski narod,nismo osvajacki nastrojeni, zemlja koja je prva ukinula robstvo...a to govori dosta o nama.
Why I see this amazing video just now❤omg Proud Serbian
We're glad you enjoyed it! 😄
go to the Milan butcher's restaurant in Novi Belgrade to try meat specialties and Serbian salads....😉
We will have to try that next time! We have a food video coming up next with a bunch of the places we were able to visit. 🇷🇸

Hello and welcome to Serbia..pelinkovac that you've tried is actually similar to german jegermaister. It's a alcoholic herb liquor 😊😊
Anja is actually German! The Pelinkovac is much more bitter, but it does has a similar herby taste. I (Brandon) prefer harder liquors like whisky or rakija, for sure. 😁🥃
We love when we not on radar
I know we are tourists ourselves, but we often tend to enjoy places that may not be as "popular" of tourist destinations as others. Over tourism tends to spoil many capital cities. Belgrade didn't feel that way at all. At the same time, we felt very welcomed in Serbia while we were there.
Not being on the radar just makes it that much sweeter when you visit a place you don't know much about, and it ends up being a gem.
@@wherearewe-yt Okay.I am yoking.You are welcome 🤗
@@wherearewe-yt That was a bit of a NATO bombing joke.
@@SerbAtheist Hahaha. Clearly went over my head. Anja got it though. Woops. 😂
@@wherearewe-yt People are still trying hard to be good at their jobs even tho they are payed so little.
Hi Serbian here, just want to say that if you want to come here again come in spring or autumn, and I am subscribed to your channel for some time.❤
Thanks so much for watching! We will definitely come back some day.
Thank you for nice words about our country! Come again! You are very welcome!
Thanks for watching! We loved our time in Serbia. We just posted our food tour, only two hours ago. Check it out, and let us know if we missed any of your favorites.
We have three more videos coming as well, and will likely be coming back..so if you have any suggestions, let us know. 😉
You chose all the nice places to visit! Bucko took me down a memory lane - in Belgrade it's considered a cheap but very caloric meal, which is why it is all-time popular among students and clubbers (I remember 20-something-old myself waiting in the endless line at 3.30 AM to get two pieces). And they say Pelinkovac is an acquired taste, it's more popular among 50+ years old folks :D glad you had fun! Plus, you also chose the best time of the year to come, because the summer here is unbearable (40+ degrees).
We actually loved Bucko. Hahaha. Totally unexpected! We thought the "salad" would be too much, but it was SO GOOD. We regret not trying two, but we were filming a good video at the same time (you should check it out if you haven't seen it).
Everyone told us to try the Pelinkovac with Coca-Cola or Pepsi. I can imagine that would make it more tolerable. 😅
We had a great time! The weather was quite nice. I (Brandon) am from Canada, so even though it was winter, it was nothing compared to what I grew up with..🥶
@@wherearewe-yt yeah, the pizza itself is not worth much without the "salad" (I also always thought it's funny it's called salad because it's clearly a topping and way too greasy). And two pieces would be an overkill if you have a job to do, it only works if you're completely wasted (or young and have a super-fast metabolism).
Yeah, Pelinkovac can be toned down a bit if combined with some sweeter drink, otherwise it tastes like medicine. Same as rakija, Pelinkovac has a long tradition of being used in medical purposes.
As for the winters, we really don't have them anymore. This February we had 15-18°C, which is really hot for that time of the year. Although I wouldn't like to experience Canadian winter (it's famously harsh), it's still a pity the climate has changed so insanely.
Hvala vam ❤ Dobro nam dosli😊❣️❣️😍
Hvala! We appreciate it. 😄
All strict center, locals rarely go to this palces......but for the first time, it's not bad. Greetings from Belgrade.
We walked everywhere during this trip, so we stuck mostly to the center this time around. We only really had time for main attractions this time. If we come back, we will have to venture out further.
Thanks for watching!
Pelinkovac is a bitter plant, and added to rakija makes a special drink. There are other berries or roots added to rakija, because rakija in Serbia is a universal MEDICINE 😁
🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Thanks for watching! Hvala 😊
About Christmas in January the Orthodox church uses the Julian calendar for holidays.
Have a great time and come visit us again 🙂
Thank you! We hope to, later this year.
When I look at your face you look like Lena Paul. Good video👍👍👍
😂 haha. Thanks for watching!
Thank you ❤
And come back again ❤😊
Hvala! We plan to. We've had lots of great suggestions for round two. 😃
I love Serbia, love Belgrade ❤❤❤❤❤
We had a great time there!
Welcome to Serbia 🇷🇸 👍🏻
Hvala! We really enjoyed it. We visited a few other cities (Novi Sad and Subotica) so we have a few more videos coming up. I think we'll be back in a few months so visit the south and to eat more Burek, haha 😂
Welcome to Serbia dear friends! I hope you will visit us again.
Thanks! 😃
Pelinkovac you should drink ice cold it tastes better and on top of that it's made from all these healthy plants that's why it's bitter. Šopska salad is usually eaten with main dishes as a compliment to a meal.
I just noticed someone else comment the same thing. Haha. Next time we will try with ice, and also mixed with coke. Those were by far the most common recommendations.
@@wherearewe-yt have it before the meal like ćevapi it makes all the difference and food afterwards gets digested better.
@@knjazmimster495 We will try next time! We plan on having a lot more BBQ in Niš when we make it make to Serbia.
@@wherearewe-yt Šopska salad is the best around Niš and stuffed peppers (recommend that there as well).
Serbia, as other orthodox part of the world, celebrate Christmas on 1-7 and new year is celebrate 1/14. That’s why all Christmas decoration are still there in January
Belgrade is stunning ❤
It really is! It's a great city. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Welcome to serbia,cheers ❤
Hvala!
Welcome to Serbia ❤🇷🇸
I am Serbia here and i wanted to thank to come to Serbia. I am hoping guys would like to come to Nis, because it is also an amazing as well. Been living in since since 2002, so its already 2 decades.
We may come back to Seriba in late Summer or early Fall to visit Niš. We have had so many people recommend it!
@@wherearewe-yt Thanks, hope you'll enjoy there as well!
You two are very brave travellers to be travelling around different countries in winter! I guess, there are no crowds and no competition when visiting popular places. Only problem is that winter time is when places are often closed for annual cleaning or renovations.
I (Brandon) am from Canada, so the winters in most of Europe are quite pleasant compared to what I grew up with (up to -30C, and worse with the wind). As you read, it can also be quite empty, which is great! We went to Athens in the winter one year, and it was great. Had all the main attractions mostly to ourselves! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt Oddly enough, some Canadian family just moved to Russia and they said that they are not bothered by Russian winter at all. On other hand an Australian family is trying to build a temporary house in Altai, Siberia and their latest video has them bravely trying to clear snow from their house site in what seems to be a blizzard. Very uncomfortable conditions. Perhaps it would not bother you but I would have stayed indoors.
I am laughing so hard at your experience with rakia. I had never heard of it and when I finally visited my roots in Bulgaria, it was so strong. I think this must mean moonshine? I heard the word rakija and instantly thought "Oh no".
We tried it in our food tour as well, and that one was so strong, it made me (Brandon) pull a jaw muscle when I tried it. That reaction is in the intro to that video. 😂
It DEFINITELY varies greatly in alcohol percentage. Some were quite nice, while others could strip paint off of a car.

Welcome to Serbia 🇷🇸!
12:30
Do you mean the writing on the wall? Can you let us know what it means? 😊
@@wherearewe-yt ,,...when the army returns to Kosovo''. Our country has problems with terrorism in the southern province of Kosovo for a long time. The Albanian national minority in Serbia, with the support of the entire West (EU/NATO, USA), has been violently trying to take away history and part of our territory. Those are some other topics that you don't need to deal with, I just wanted to point out that I'm glad because that graffiti also fell into the frame of your video. I am also glad that you visited our country, I hope you had a nice time without any inconvenience. You are always welcome back ✌🏼

That "Koktel" bar is actually "Cocktail" bar just written as in serbian pronunciation.
The bar itself is called Kultura. That second clip was the menu I filmed inside, which said "Koktel Karta"! Haha.
Thanks so much for watching. We still have four more videos coming, so don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. 😃
@@wherearewe-yt Oh I see. Didn't see it properly. 😂 Than it's a "Culture" bar. 😁
@@vondysha Haha. Yes! Compared to where we are from, the cocktails there were very affordable. We enjoyed it. 😃
Serbia has many different brandies aged with medicinal herbs cured inside the bottle. 'Pelinkovac' being one of those and 'Travarica' being another. Supposedly each medicinal herb has healing properties in helping with various ailments. Those herbs are mostly harvested on high mountains in Serbia. There a few more "medicinal brandies" on the market there but I left Yugo decades ago and forgot most of it.
Maybe we will have to try Travarica next time - though I'd much rather have rakija, to be honest. The bitter taste was so strong with Pelinkovac!
Welcome to Serbia ❤❤❤
your Serbian is super good,you have slavic roots for sure :D
Hahaha. Thanks!
South of Belgrade, I recommend the fortresses of Golubac, Ram, Smederevo and Niš. Go see Drvengrad built by Kusturica as well as Oplenac. Good discoveries.
Thanks for the recommendations! We plan on visiting the south at some point this year.
the reason that the christmas decorations were still up is bcs january 7 is our christmas
I'm glad you like serbia i want you to go to niš❤
We will have to revisit some day and go there! We've had a lot of people suggest we go there.

Hot raki was so good! It was strong, though. 😂

@peka: dont worry, most countries have over-enthusiastic ppl - and with some reflection everyone could know that and not generalize (as long there are not 99% haters;) ... and actually, from a more neutral point of view, attacking and blaming someone for not knowing something is a good way to make sure information is memorized - as long one gets not inflationary blamed for everything. the right balance is key here! ;)

Funny thing here:
I'm Serbian, 15, but I've never been in Belgrade 😅
You should make the trip over at some point. It's a great city!
In my opinion the best food is in the small outlying cities. And yes, if it grows, Serbs will find a way to turn it into whiskey i.e.: plum, cherry, peach, apple, pear, queens etc. Their soups and meat are out of this world also. If you get a chance put kajmak (butter) on their cornbread (proja). My wife was born there, and we make regular trips.
We would have loved to see some more smaller cities, but without a car, it's a bit difficult. We've had quite a few recommendations for places to visit for food. Especially in the south!
We love cornbread, so that sounds delicious.
Every Serbian Grandmother Can
Make every Serbian traditional food
I bet! And it probably tastes even better than in restaurants. I think we need to find us a Serbian grandmother 😂
@@wherearewe-yt i have one
I'm from Serbia, so let me clarify some things about pizza from Bucko before Italians get stroke 😂First the salad, it's actually a salad, not salad dressing.. This type of salad is a slavic thing I think. Inside of them there is actually a lot of vegetables, but since they are mixed with mayo, cream cheese and usually mustard, tomato sauce etc, they end up looking like a dressing :) For dear Italians, we don't even consider that pizza to be an actual pizza. Bucko is literally the only place in whole Serbia that I know of, where you can get this type of pizza with salad. Look at it as format of pizza, but not a recreation of Italian dish 😂 Because you can't imagine the taste, it's so unique that there is literally no reference anyone could use to describe it. Chicken salad one is literally to die for
I'm sure Italians are used to other countries butchering their food by now. I'm Canadian, and we invited Hawaiian pizza (and I love it). 😂
I'm sure on paper, Bucko would sound bad to many people- but it was freakin' delicious.
The moment she opened the video by discussing the food and drinking alcohol, I knew she was going to be my type of chick.
Haha, I do love food and alcohol indeed 😆😊
Samo ste jeli,a ima toliko toga da se vidi.
We love to eat! We may be a travel channel, but there is a major focus on food - because that's what most people want to see. Showing interesting sites and talking about history are always the "dips" in a video where people skip over. 😆
We saw a lot of the city in a short amount of time, but when it gets dark so early in the winter, we can only film until around 16:30 as well. We see a lot more than what makes it into videos. 🙂
Ah, Bucko pizza. One of the main reasons I had 15 kilos more than I was supposed to during my university life. :)
I don't even want to know the calories, but it was worth it! 😅
@@wherearewe-yt Fun fact. "Bucko" means "chubby boy" in translation :D
