    I loved the feeling and vibe of Belgrade when i met you in the beginning of September. The excellent weather did of course help, but the difference to Sweden is enormous.
    For a hidden gem I would recommend Kralja Petra, just around the corner of the mosque. There you have a Crna Ovca artisan ice cream shop and the last old-school perfumery, where the owner can make customised perfumes. He's been in (amongst others) French newspapers, Ukrainian and Japanese TV and is, as I understand it, one of the last remaining shop owners of this kind left in Europe.

      A very good additions, Kralja Petra is THE street in Dorćol! And yes, that perfumery is one of the last ones in Europe.
      For the ice cream I’d also recommend Poslasti carnica, not in Dorćol, but in Maršala Birjuzova. Their white Tamjanika ice cream is fantastic.
      It’s getting colder now, but comparing to North it’s still fantastic.

      I would also add Zvezdara (esp. the are behind Cvetkova pijaca market) and Pashino brdo (esp. Grcica Milenka street). These are even more hidden gems

      @@mm-gi5mx very true! I try to film also other neighbourhoods, just wanted to start with the most famous one that people who visit only short time here are usually going to and where I mostly take walks as I live nearby. But definitely there are lot of neighbourhoods in Belgrade that deserve to be seen! Especially because people don’t know about those.

    "Old well at the end of Skadarska" is known as Sebilj, it means fountain, but it's neither a fountain nor a well. Sarajevo gifted it to Belgrade when both cities were still part of Yugoslavia. The Serbian city of Novi Pazar also has one. But, the one in Sarajevo is the famous one.

      @@AlexM-t6h what do you mean it’s not a fountain? That is was never used but was only for decorative purposes? I mean the one next to Bajloni pijaca, not the original in Sarajevo.

      @@pleasebeseatedfortakeoff Initially, back in Turkish time, these things were fountains and people got water there. Now they are just meeting places.

      @@AlexM-t6h yes ofc, but I was curious about this one. I actually live about 6 min walk away, but I never got anyone to explain it’s history.
      So I truly appreciate your comments!
      I was told that it used to be a fountain/well, but if you could confirm it wasn’t I would highly appreciate it as I have found zero information about it.

      You seem to be very much interested in the history and culture here as we are.
      I’m actually writing a book about Serbia with my partner, so if you have stories to tell, I am very much intested.

    They should restore the facades of the old buildings. Then it would really be beautiful.

      @@AlexM-t6h they have done it for quite many already. But yes, still lot to do. Honestly speaking not all those restorations are done the nicely, but have a little ”plasticy” look. Ofc restoration is very expensive, but Belgrade architecture is so unique and can’t be counted in money. The saddest thing is demolishing so many, that happened even to my neighbour building in Kopitareva Gradina. I have tried to film a lot during my years here, and have tried to speak in public about restoration. Belgrade uniqueness is forever lost if those beautiful buildings are not taken care of.
