Brutalist architec style nothing to do with comunism or socialism but origin of this style of buildings came from UK England where you still have a lot of buildings in that style i dont like it but it came from UK i hope you don't mind this note, i am a architect work and lived early in London now i am back to Belgrade retired i have 60 years and 40 years of working, you are welcome in Serbia and there a lot of city with beutifull architecture like Subotica and Novi Sad
Those so called RUclips travel expats have zero idea what they are talking about, some buildings she was recording were built before WW2 far away from communism architecture but is important to have "underrated", "hidden", "less known" and other clickbait titles.
Chevapchichi and plyeskavitza have become a must for gullible tourists, but they are not in any case refined dishes. Just sort of staple ones, made of minced meat which can vary in quality and is actually among the most unpredictable ones. Especially if bought at kiosks.
@@beberrisber5390 Yes. So called soft communism. We had free market economy and private business was normal and common. My father had telecommunications business and he use to work with Simens . There is no border in Jugoslavija. Some fanny kisok with two policeman. I remember when we enter in Hungary 1985 ( Holidays) border was packed with tanks and mashine guns .
@@STASHYNSKYI It's my native country and Belgrade is my native town so i know the story and i also know why my parents have to leave their country for a better and free life !
01:57 small correction, you are right 150+, i will just add exact number, 192 times bombarded during history and 44 times ruined to the ground and rebuilded from 0. The most of it in the time of war between Austrian and Ottoman emipirre. Also, hard bombarded by first Germany and then US and UK coalition during WW2.
12:25 Small add, PORK, PORK, PORK and PORK and some vegetables... beef.sheep, goat meet. But, PORK everyone loves the most and eat it the most. In 18. and 19. century, Serbia was leader in pork production in Europe. By the wrong agrar politics Serbia transforms into pork meat importer today because we eat pork meat a lot and our production isnt enough to satisfie needs.
Well, as to the prices, we were in Florence last month and we paid 13 euros for a glass of Aperol Spritz in Republic Square. Just coperta was 3 euros per person there. Belgrade is going up with prices, but you get much better value for the money. The pici that we had in Italy was 12 euros and was a modest, tasteless dish. It can't happen in Belgrade. A shot of liqeuer in Skadarlia should be cheaper (2 euros), but, again, it depends on what fruit it is made of; they have very good quality ones there, and if it was made of expensive berries, for instance, then ... April is normally beautiful and much warmer, but this year has been crazy ... We were also freezing in Italy, it was cloudy with spells of rain and sun ...
The buildings pointed at 07:02 are not from communist period, they are built in 1920s... and then, at 17:18... looking at the communist baby - Novi Beograd, we hear: "I like it". 🙂 But, you are very charming, and you seem completely sincere in your reactions. So, thumbs up.
Belgrade looks adorable! And your videos are always nice to watch because you give us interesting history tidbits. Hope you had a great time exploring the city.
Долазиће због наше спонтаности и срдачности...тог пријатељског људског односа типичног за наше људе ..Зграде и музеји то је све мање више занимљиво али ..људи.. људи су главни.Будите увек љубазни и добронамерни према свима.То ће туристи увек памтити и враћати се.
It is against the law to accept any currency but Serbian dinar. If anybody accept it is, it is doing it as a favor and will have to exchange to dinars before deposing in the bank.
You should for example visit biggest orthodox church in Europe 'Sveti Sava' or do story about first and oldest civilisation in the world that has originate right here but...
This shows only dark and gritty side of Belgrade mixed with rainy day. This is not a real picture of Belgrade. Why only show old and ruined buildings? There's a lot cool modern buildings in Belgrade, green streets, fancy houses, river area is nice. I'm not local, I am from neighborhood city Novi Sad, but this video not show spirit of Belgrade. This is a most depressive video of Belgrade on you tube.
Its been raining - streets will be quiet. Not every youtuber knows everything about the country they have just landed in. I like the lack of tourists I travel to meet natives, thats why Belgrade is the best. >90% serbs
I am traveling to Belgrade this coming September and I can’t wait. Like you mentioned about Bucharest is a beautiful city that I visited in 2022 and is very affordable. I have been enjoying visiting Eastern European countries since they are more affordable, not a lot of tourists so far and they are beautiful and there is a lot of history ❤
0:30 you have face of typican serbian girl, i am not sure 100% but i belive you have some connection with Serbi or neigborough of Serbia?. Also, your accent, you sound like a girl from this region?.
In reality all Europeans originate from Serbia because here is where first civilisation in the world was born you can look it up 'Vinča culture' 'Lepenski Vir' 'Starčevo kulture' and similar
@@yourmajesty1630 Face of typical ukrainan girl and typical serbian(Balcan) girl are not the same, in AVERAGE. We are Slavic people but closer to mediteranian people. Ukranians are northern Slavs, actually depends but in average, tats two diferent types of faces. Ukranian and russian typical face, we can pat "=" between them maybe.
@rick deckard You are wrong, she looks like typical serbian girl, i have capability to categorise face tapes. Her face belongs to Balcan girl group of faces, to be correct, SERBIAN GIRL face tape. Her accent also sound like serbian english. Ukrainan girls are ususally with red, light brown or blue hair with light skin and green or blue eyes. Ok, we have a lot dark skined ukrainan girls but average ukrainan girl do not looks like girl from this video. Btw, girl is cute.
16:30 serbian traditional lunch for almost any holliday, can explain whole serbian cousine. 1. soup(influence from Vienna, even italy. Pasta+egs+sault+water'vegetables) 2.rinflajž or rinflaish(also hungarian and austrian influence. Boiled hen meat + potatos + carrots) 3.sarma(OTTOMAN-turkish influence. Pork meat roled in cabage) 4. ROASTED PIG+ sometimes ROASTED SHEEP or ROASTED YOUNG GOAT(i do not know influence but this is alway always main dish). Also, we eat a lot GULAŠ or GULASH, it is hungarian national meal. Also, BAKLAVA, TULUMBE, URMAŠICE, SUTLIJAŠ,... TURKISH-BOSNIAN sweets. Also, our main pastry, two of them. GIBANICA and BUREK, are directly connected with Turkey. Serbian version of burek was first time invited and maded in Niš, southern Serbia by turkish guy. In Turkey. BUREK is the name for every pastry maded from pie crust. In Serbia. BUREK is specific dish, maded from pie crust, sunflower oil + cheese or meat or greens or spinach.

This April was abnormaly cold, usually it's nice and warm in this period of the year. More or less same as in Italy.

Belgrade history is much longer than 2000 years. Acctually Belgrade is an center of oldest European civilization- Vinca civilization!
Longer than 7000 years.
Serbia recent communist past? 1989 . Yugoslavia was never east block communist country.
But still communist country !
Tito and his communist party was not royalist !

Beograd je posetilo skoro milion stranaca prošle godine. Nije turisticka baš destinacija kao drugi evropski gradovi, ali dolaze ljudi sa strane.

For fans of Lord of the Rings, Minas Tirith also means White City :)

Beograd 🎉🎉🎉❤
You haven't mentioned that Belgrade is the oldest European city and cradle of European civilization, Danube cultures, Vinca etc.
A historic city!
Nice vlog Dramatically Expatic!. Belgrade looks an interesting city.
Thanks! 😃

You should've showed the churches (at least St Sava) and the remains of NATO bombing.
Great place to visit I was there last year I had great time I wish I stayed longer ❤❤❤

People matters... buildings are just buildings... one war, one destruction and they are gone... people and culture is what prevail...

Will be hot ...
Sure, East Europe tour, please!
Apparently, that was the 11th snow in April in Belgrade in the last 100 years. It happens, but just once in a decade
Just like all over the world, under 1000m. Instead od snowfalls, you better get ready for boulders, mudslides and debris all over the planet.
wrong time to visit Belgrade, better come May - September, the city looks completelly different and much more alive.
👍👍👍👍
This comment aged well...very well
@@phillyguy6official Whats wrong?
👍👍👍💖
Great city i thoroughly enjoyed spending over a week there in 2022.
This is the worst video of Belgrade, that I found on youtube.
YOU ARE AMMASING IMPRESIONS ON MY BORN CITY
OK, Tarzan - where is Jane?
Serbians seem to eat a lot of red meat, through their traditional cuisine.
Yes we love meat but also fresh vegetables and fruit, not much of aditives just fresh food
better red than green (meat).
in chess, white gets the view x)
I've heard that there Is some huge temple which offers unussual artistic experience at main level and in a crypt.
Što se praviš strancem?

Yeah weather this year is strange. Usualy in april in Belgrade is average 20 degres and sunny.
I'm half serbian.
Serbia is cheap compared to Sweden and Norway

she is ukranian. i think serbs orginated from the region of ukraine a real long time ago and the language is highly related.
