Thanks for watching! I’m launching a new travel vlog every week, so stay tuned. Travel Lord On Location is a new channel, so please SUBSCRIBE and turn on NOTIFICATIONS if you enjoy my content and want to see my travel adventures.
About this episode:
This episode is a Belgrade city tour. I walk through the streets of the Serbian capital city to show you the must-see attractions in Belgrade as well as some other interesting hidden gems. While exploring Belgrade, I take part in plenty of sightseeing. We’ll check out:
- Terazije
- Knez Mihailova Street
- Kalemegdan Park
- Belgrade Fortress
- Ružića church
- Nebojša Tower
- Zemun or Zemun Town
- Sibinjanin Janko Statue
- Gardoš Tower
- Monument to Stefan Nemanja
I also stop in Belgrade’s oldest Kafana, Znak Pitanja Kafana. Here I try out some local foods: Pohovani kačkavalj and Sarma od domaćeg kiselog kupusa. If you’re planning to add Belgrade to your travel itinerary, check out my Belgrade, Serbia vlog and get some ideas. I really enjoyed my time on this Belgrade walking tour and found it to be a much more colorful European capital than I previously thought.
About Beograd, Serbia:
Beograd, the vibrant capital of Serbia, boasts a rich history and a captivating culture that has left an indelible mark on the Balkans. Founded by the Celts in the 3rd century BC, it witnessed the rise and fall of empires, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Austro-Hungarians.
This historical tapestry is reflected in Beograd's architecture, where centuries-old fortresses stand alongside modern buildings. Kalemegdan Fortress, an iconic symbol, offers breathtaking views of the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
The city's cultural heritage is equally enthralling, with world-class museums, galleries, and theaters showcasing Serbian art and creativity. Belgrade's lively arts scene, music festivals, and theater productions make it a cultural epicenter in the region.
Today, Beograd's dynamic energy is evident in its thriving nightlife, eclectic cuisine, and warm hospitality. As a testament to its resilience and spirit, Belgrade continues to evolve while preserving its remarkable history and cultural roots. Explore this captivating city and immerse yourself in a blend of old-world charm and contemporary vibrancy.
About Travel Lord On Location:
After living and working abroad for over 15 years, I've decided to share my experience and passion for travel, films, books and humor with others worldwide in my new travel vlog. This type of travel diary explores different countries through their own cinema, literature, events and places.
This travel vlog highlights some of the best destinations and attractions the Earth has to offer. But! Unlike other travel vlogs, here you'll know when things don't go according to plan. While traveling leads to unique experiences, new knowledge and fun opportunities, an equal amount of mishaps, scams, problems and general weirdness comes with it.
I hope my travel vlog encourages people to leave their comfort zones, learn a bit about a country they've never heard of, read a book from an author whose name they can't pronounce and flip on a movie with subtitles. Join me on my travel adventures and partake in the cultural exploration, hidden gems and sightseeing that comes with it!

Your pronunciation of Serbian names and places is spot on, I'm pleasantly surprised.
Most English speakers totally butcher local names. :)
Thanks! I’ve butchered local names in past videos so I practice that hahaha glad it’s working!
I came to the comments section to say the same. Much appreciate the effort!
@@atomov I'm glad it improves the experience
He's really good in speaking
@@lorem_ipsum5451 Thank you!
I give this video a Belgrade of A+!
I’ll take it!
Belgrade is stunning 🙋🏼♀️💙
I agree!
Serbia have maybe best grill in the world. Just amazing.

Belgrade looks so beautiul. Thank you for this wonderful video. I am really looking forward to visiting it before the masses of tourists start to arrive. It reminds me of how Barcelona was decades ago.
I hope you have a great time! Thank you for watching!
Hey, I live in Belgrade, don't really need a tour and I don't even know how I've stumbled upon your video, but I watched it till the end. I'm impressed with how you've pronounced Serbian names and words. You've really done your homework. Great job! There are some key places missing, but nevertheless, good video! I'm subscribing to check out your other vlogs!
Thanks for the compliment! Very much appreciated. I’ll be putting up a video on Niš later this week
Belgrade is a cool metropolitan city.
Agreed
Не треба очекивати пуно од града који је рушен највише пута у историји и који је толико стар да није пројектован како треба. А опет доста тога садржи и прелеп је, има своју душу још увек
sigurno ce te razumeti lik...
Yeah, it was very different than what I expected. Glad I got to see what it's really like!

Nice video! Pleasant to watch! Haven't seen Belgrade in 16 years..Living in Colorado now! Still memories of my country are present!
Glad you liked it! I was actually born in Denver. Must be cool to watch Jokic
@@TravelLordOnLoc I watched only one game since he started playing for Nuggets..I live in Boulder last 10 years.
I used to play basketball as a kid. As many serbian kids😀
@@MrMilan187 Yeah, everyone was playing out there. You should watch the Nuggets. Joker is pretty good hahaha
@@TravelLordOnLoc I know I should but I just work so hard and have 2 dogs to take care of. I am traveling a lot too.3 to 4 months every years..With my dogs we did hundreds of mountains in the west.
Over 190 days in tent so far.
@@MrMilan187 Holy crap! Well, just enjoy your time and tent. I'll watch the Nuggets for you!
Great job. You will be successful. Serbia ❤

Hello! Agreed! Thanks for watching
@@TravelLordOnLocБелград как и Косово сердце Сербии !!!
Шикарные виды Друзья !!!
@@ДенисКлебанов-у1з Very beautiful city!
the bullets are from Austro-Hungarian weapons that were fired at Serbia
It was pretty intererting to see
@@TravelLordOnLoc and those two statues, the knight and the soldier, were also made of shells, which fell on Belgrade, and there were quite a few of them
@@izgubljen79 Oh man! I didn't realize that. I wish I knew that to say it in the video. Thanks for the insight
Beautiful amazing City Belgread the best city in the country of Srbia

Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thanks for tuning in!
Sarma👌😋👍
It was my first time…but it won’t be my last hahaha
Let's not forget the night life there's nothing like it in the world for almost 25 years now they have won awards as the entertaining capital of Europe and almost the world they call it the Las Vegas of Europe there's nothing like it anywhere and the people are exceptionally kind to everyone especially to tourists and they do not lie there's no scamming whatsoever.. long live Belgrade❤
I haven’t made any nightlife videos, but I agree with you! Maybe I should make some later on
@@TravelLordOnLoc Oh another fun fact ..did you know that 18 of the emperors were all born in Serbia and were of Serbian descent.. from the Vicna dynasty.. that's where the Serbian people hail from.. yes some of the oldest artifacts found in the world predating history by 250, 000 years these are some old old people ..yeah it's a little fun fact for you.. have Lots of fun on your adventures..
The center of European history
Very cool to see and learn about Belgrade
Looking nice city
Yeah it’s great!
Belgrade was destroyed 40 times and more through history and rebuild
Yeah, it's amazing. I'm glad I could make a vlog to show what it's like now
I think that was a russian emblem. Thanks for a great review. Wanna visit already.
Yeah, it's a nice city! Thanks for the heads up
Serbian and Russian amblems are very similar. Even flags. Because all free slavic nations have same colors; red, white, blue.
Wonderful shoot, but i am confused you entered Ruzica church but not Petka church which is next to it? it is so beautiful
Did not know about Petka church! I had a hard enough time figuring out how to get into Ruzica church haha
@@TravelLordOnLoc St.Petka church is right next do it. Tower that you saw from Ruzica. It is lovely little church with amazing mosaics. Also...the point is to walk and discover it .
@@TravelLordOnLoc Just address passers-by to find out, they will be very willing to help out with whatever they know or can do.
تحيات.. للاسف مزقت قنابل اميركا يوغسلافيا الجميله.. شكرا لاحياء ذكريات الناس.. التي تحب العيش بسلام
Belgrade rocks, it's as gorgeous as Paris but without the complaining French- Paradise
Haven’t been to Paris yet but I definitely liked Belgrade
Great Video man
Thanks! Stay tuned! I've got a bunch more videos on deck
I am sure soon Serbia will be a safe haven for many foreigners from all over the World.Low crime,relativily cheap,pleasent people,many Serbs speak English,good food and the most important point not a member of 4th Reich called EU
BEOGRAD !!!!! Interresting vlog really BUT TOO SHORT
Yeah there’s a lot more that I have to go back and see. Thanks for watching!
Of course you have to, you have no choice Beograd is more than that ahaha and after you can come to the north east of France only 3h, Christmas is approaching and we have Germanic spirit for the festivities . @@TravelLordOnLoc
@@nedjmaannyiah6400 I have a lot to do hahaha
''a lot to do'' he said 😅😅no excuses dear traveller @@TravelLordOnLoc
🎉❤🎉🇷🇸👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
👍
Thank you!
4:07 I sear the cabbage thing in a joke Slavs play on Anglos lol...
It was delicious hahaha
Interesting fact brutalist design (you call comunist building) originated from UK and nothing to do to comunism also in UK you have that style so please stop calling comunist buildings.
Thanks for the insight! I’ll keep that in mind
Јесу карактеристичне за комунизам: као кутије од шибица, све наличе једна на другу, никакве лепоте у њима; као да су прављене да људима који им прилазе и живе у њима убију вољу за животом и истинском лепотом.
💯💯💯
Thanks for watching!
great :)
Thank you!
LOL he got the middle finger! :D
Hahahaha yeah. I had no idea at the time
1999
I have a video about that coming up
you miss best and most interesting parts of Belgrade. You should ask somebody
Where should I go next time?
@@TravelLordOnLoc Skadarlija,Belgrade waterfront,ada ciganlija,Dunvski kej i splavovi na njemu
Good to know! Thanks for the advice
@@TravelLordOnLoc Definitely St. Sava Cathedral is a must.
❤🇷🇸❤
Thanks for watching!
Serbs didn’t arrive they have always been there , those were the occupations….
Yeah, fair enough!
Е мој рођаче, све си лепо видео, пробао клопу, али да ниси реч рекао о РАКИЈИ? Разочаран сам. Омануо си страшно...
I do regret not getting a Serbian drink for the vlog...
Thats not the town square, who told u that???
Many online sources refer to it as the "central town square." Which spot would you consider the town square for next time I visit?
@@TravelLordOnLoc The republic square, is Belgrade's main square, the one where u watched 3vs3 basketball. Belgrade has many city squares, the one u talked about is just one of them, with its own significance, but thats not city's main square.
@@alekstash Ah I see! I'll have to check it out when there isn't a basketball tournament
My mum's name is Ružica 🙂 but you never call her Ruža......
It sounds like a nice name! But are you saying I said something wrong? hahaha
@TravelLordOnLoc no. You said the name correctly. Ružiča means rose bud. It's a woman's name. Oddly Ružan means ugly.
Lots to see and do in Serbia. Don't forget to see the museum in Belgrade.. there's a painting there of an Archangel.. the eyes follow you. Very interesting museum.
There are lots of Roman ruins in Serbia, and lots of Roman emperors came from Serbia.
Go to Scadilija (part of old Belgrade) and eat karadjordje schnitzel...
Lots of hot water springs AKA Banja.
Best pork products in Europe come from the Srem region, where my parents are from.
Hope you enjoy/ed Serbia. Take care and enjoy the hospitality there.
@@Bozana7171 Oh, interesting. Thanks for the info! I'm heading to Niš to make a video in a few days
omg those are not weapons in war... those pictures are stories about Jesus Christ.... through his travels... and there are a lot of saints....☦☝️
The chandeliers were made of weapons, but I think put to a better use
6:57 SQUIRREL!
Hahaha yep
That's why you never trust a tourist with rosy glasses talk about the city. I believe you had amazing time in Belgrade, usually when you travel everything is great. Belgrade is 1.5 million city without subway, it's dysfunctional mess. Night life/music is highly influenced by Oriental vibes, you walk around Kalemegdan at night and you hear music like you're in Istanbul. You're in luck tho if you love cheap fun and cheap girls. Investors are trying to ruin even that beautiful Kalemegdan view. Old school or I don't know new school "citizens" not picking up after their pets, Dorcol is literally plastered with dog shit.
I agree with you! It’s impossible to really understand a city from a visit that lasts a few days or even a few weeks. But I also did enjoy it from my short time there!
11:33 In the 18th century, the Ruzica Church was a gunpowder storehouse, which was in 1867-1869. converted into a military church.
Svidja mi se sto momak dosta zna o Kalemegdanskoj tvrdjavi ! Vidi se da dosta zna o istoriji tvrdjave!
Nice video!
Thanks for the insight! Good to know!
@@TravelLordOnLocgreetings from Zemun
@@viralserbia Zemun is great!
I was there twice, and I wasn't impressed. Tbh, there are other prettier places in the Balkans and Belgrade is just ... not it.
Where else did you go? I got to a bunch of spots but didn’t get to stay as long as I wanted to
Lol thats obvious that centre of belgrade is so much better than the rest of the city and especially the whole serbia in general
Zemun was pretty nice as well!
City center is not so good. There is lot of good places in Belgrade outside of city center.
Some others said that too. I will have more to check out next time!
smradino raspala - Google translete please
Not sure what you mean haha
The one you called ser Žile (Sibinjanin Janko) was the biggest face in this time and, a brutal military lider among all Serbs and Hungarians!!! There was no man with bigger balls at that time in the entire Balkans!!! We Serbs have always had strong soldiers but weak weapons and equipment!!! That was also proven when you (Nazi Nato) bombarded us murderously on the 1999 year!!! When we shot F-117A invisible (stealth) aircraft and many others planes and and drones and balistic missiles with old Soviet systems Neva M, Kub M, Praga, Bofors, Strela 10, Strels 1 and others systems!!!
I'm glad I got to learn about Sibinjanin Janko
No shit...
Yes
U didn’t go to see Saint Sava? 😳 Oh my 🤦🏼♀️
Yeah, I have more places tocheck out next time
@@TravelLordOnLoc Kalemegdan with Fortress is number 1, St. Sava Cathedral church is number 2 tourist spot in Belgrade. Then Skadarlia, Zemun ...
One of the best things about Kalemegdan is you don't need to pay to enter the fortress.
Yeah that was a great place to just go and take a walk. Huge!
Nice! Very informative - I definitely want to visit after seeing this.
Thanks! I'm glad I got out there. It was pretty fun
Those building were not 1870ties but the very beginning of the 19th century .
The University building was established in 1809.
Glad you enjoyed, cheers bro
Either way, very beautiful and a nice environment. Thanks for watching!
Први видео,неког са енглеског говорног подручја који сам одгледала до краја.Хвала вам на лепом мишљењу о мом граду.👍
Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you liked it
04:14 Serbia isnt super cheap country anymore. Just before one year that dish in that local will cost you 4-5 us dollars. Now 7.7 us dollars. Inflation killing us.
A lot of countries in Eastern Europe were more expensive than I expected. But I’d say the dish was worth it haha
@@TravelLordOnLoc @ recently there was a large influx of Russians and Ukrainian migrants; many techie's with money, thus the price hikes! But that's only in Belgrade and Novi Sad; Serbia proper (south of Danube) is still very reasonable!
Good to know! I'm planning on checking out/making a vid in Nis soon
@@Brave2standalone That simple inst true. Prices goes up because of energy prices not because of Russians. Russians makes prices going up for apartments not for food. Enegry price+corruption(serbian govermant is 3rd the most corrupted in Europe, after rrussian and moldavian). Serbia is 7th the poorest country in Europe. Just before 20 years, before wars and bombing, our economy was ranked 10 position higher then now. 2 years after wars and bombing, 5 positions higher then now. Before 50 years, period 1970-1980 we are being equal to Italy, even France.
In Poland, the locals were also telling me that the prices have gone up much more since the war started
Good stuff man, thanks for visiting! Keep at it!
Thanks! I’ve got a lot more coming. Stay tuned!
Looks awesome!
It was! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Greetings from Bulgaria. Come visit us as well. 😊
I am in Sofía as i write this! I’ll be putting out some videos of Bulgaria in the future! Please subscribe and wait a minute hahaha I have a few other ones to put out
Also if you’ve got an suggestions for places I should visit in Bulgaria please let me know!
@TravelLordOnLoc Ha! I see you have already started your new journey. Visit Plovidv, Hisarya, Nessebar, Veliko Tarnovo, Belograchik rocks, Rila or Bachkovski Monastery, Perpirikon. There are so many things to see, idk what you are interested in seeing. All of these towns offer Roman ruins along with Bulgarian history.
Thanks for the recommendations! I was definitely going to check out Plovdiv. I’ll look into the others too
Nice job representing my birth city and the most beautiful city in the world.. But one correction, Kafanas don't serve light food.. They serve all kinds of dishes.. :)
Yeah I wasn’t sure if it was just that one or all Kafanas but seems like you’re right
Moj Beograd 🥳🥳🥳🇷🇸🥳🥳🥳👍
It's a very nice city!
I'm visiting the balkans early next year, can't wait! I'm starting off in Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina, not sure where I'm going after that, but Belgrade is looking pretty inviting
Sounds like a great trip! Stay tuned to my channel! I just went through most of the Balkan countries so I have videos of Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia etc on the way
@@TravelLordOnLoc awesome! I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled.
@@paigemichelesargent Great! I'm putting out a city tour of Sarajevo later this week
Buy Albanian goat as a gift, they will be very happy....
The "finger girl" probably thought you are spying/filming them; I'm sure they didn't know you are a foreign youtuber! Anyway, enjoy your stay and venture down south if you have a chance!
Yeah, could be. I didn't notice it at the time
Excellent trip. Just subscribed
Thank you! I've got a lot more coming!
Thank you for this beautiful videos about Serbia, really nice recordings and wording. Happy to see someone who is that much informed about our history, make the videos about our buildings and monuments whele shereing some of the stories behind them. 😄
Thank you very much! Happy I could check it out!
This was great, I am happy too see you did plenty of research ahead of time and had a good idea of the culture and history, something often left to be desired by traveling creators.
Glad you enjoyed it! I try to know what I’m talking about hahah
You are lost little beet 😂.No Town …!It is City Belgrade!
Thank you 👍
Haha did I call it a town? I think I only said Zemun town. I’ll have to check, but yes it’s definitely a big city
Sir Zile or Giles is on point xD
Yeah, I thought so too
In Poland 3:19 lol they probably don't like being filmed and they did that on purpose. I can imagine this in Serbia too. lol
True. She was actually a British tourist though
@@TravelLordOnLoc oh, as in Rome do as the Romans do lol although I don't agree to everything they did.
I haven’t been to Rome but I’ve been to London hahaha. I’m trying to check my backgrounds more often now

Not sure what that means...
You need to enjoy night life ;)
I do hahaha but usually don’t take my camera around for it. Maybe I will in one of the videos

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but you are malicious.
