To all my Serbians thank you for the support, i am new to your country and would like to learn, i come in peace with no malicious intent so if i said something wrong just kindly correct me in the comments i am open to positive and constructive criticism but talking down on me i won’t tolerate. Its my mistake for repeating “east Europe” its just in America we never really specify like you guys do here in this region so again, i am learning. And also, the bus system i have now figured out how to pay so please forgive me for saying it was free. I’m just here to promote your beautiful country in the best way possible. Thank you again for the support 🇷🇸
No worries man. Even if you do say something wrong, nobody will take your head off, or put you to jail for it. You don’t have to walk on your toes, just a common decency will suffice. Btw many people will tell that they are Christians, but not many actually practice it (pray, go to church all the time etc).
Hi mate, I'm glad that you visited our country. I would add one interesting fact about it: First modern consititution, after getting independence from Turks, called "Sretenjski ustav" in which one of laws claimed that any man, woman or child that steps on Serbian land become free human. In that way we said stop to slavery. And we are talking about 1835.! 100 years LATER, US for instance, had separate toilets for black and white people. Also, there was human ZOO in Belgium holding black childeren in cages and human trafficking was concidered perfectly normal thing in most parts of the world. That being said it's crazy that US, Belgium and whole western world teach us equality and tolerance.
East Europe was usually called "behind the iron curtain" - the communist countries, and Yugoslavia was a bit different, more open to the West in every sense, so it is not only the matter of geography, also culturally, there were no restrictions in Yugoslavia like in East European countries 1950's to 80's
@@Luka-u9x Not in Belgrade, back when it was done with cards, you'd very rarely see someone actually scan theirs, and when they implemented paying by text recently, people immediately found a way to scam. More importantly though, even if freeloaders were a minority, it's definitely a bigger one than in, say, Germany, or any other western country for that matter. Lastly, it was just a lighthearted comment, to be taken with a grain of salt.
Just a small correction. On April 6, 1941 the Nazis bombed Belgrade. Roughly half the city was in ruins. The old National Library was burned to the ground and we lost 300,000 books, including rare editions and old medieval books, manuscripts of our rulers, maps, letters, documents from the Turkish era, magazines from the 19th century, etc. Not 10,000 books. 300,000 precious items. You can still see the remains of that building in the beautiful part of Belgrade known as Kosancicev Venac. A really lovely neighborhood with cobbled streets and nice architecture, but also with a gaping hole with the remains of the old National Library.
@@djolemacola The library building is still in ruins as it was, but I've heard of a plan that they plan to rebuild the building and make some sort of a memorial center there... It was mentioned once and never again.

We visited Serbia in 2022, loved Belgrade & Novi Sad, Nish not so much, but also the southern (occuipied) part of the country - Kosovo. Prizren old town has a great vibe and the monasteries are just amazing.
I absolutely loved Nis when I was there. What did you not like specifically? Personally the Cele kula, the Roman ruins in the Nis Fortress and Medijana were unmatched to me - but then, to be fair, I love Roman history the most. They also had great barbecue (rostilj). I wish to return to the Imperial City soon.
I was born and raised in Belgrade, so when I clicked on this video my plan was to see a few bits where you talk about your experience in Serbia, but I ended up watching the whole video like I'm seeing Belgrade for the first time 🤣 Thank you for representing my city in such a nice, calm way. Welcome!

The "Albania" palace was named after a WW 1 event known as the Albanian Golgotha. In 1914, Serbs kicked out Austrian-Hungarian army three times. Then Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Bulgaria attacked again, from three sides. Surrender for the Serbs was not an option, so the entire country - the King of Serbia, Government, Treasury, Archives, civilians, soldiers.. marched to Albania to reach Greece and the Allies. Hundreds of thousands died from freezing, hypothermia, starvation, disease, or by the hands of the Albanian mobs... The "Albania" was built in 1939/1940 and it was the tallest building in Belgrade until 1974, when the Beogradjanka building was built (the tall black building in the center of Belgrade).

It got its name after kafana that was there before this skyscraper was built was named Kod Albanije and the building where kafana was was built in 1840 and on this building was the first public clock placed ...

24:05 HAHAAH, you grabbed one of the best drinks that came out on the Serbian market in recent years. Basically, the idea of that brand was to mix sparkling water and juice 50-50 and it was a roaring success. Quality water and great juice with amazing taste, comes in 3 flavors - orange, pear and peach (the one that you are drinking is peach). Nice find, your intuition serves you well 🤣 *Sidenote:* _Slava in the Slavic language means "Glory" which is also used as the old english word "Hail". In Serbia and only in Serbia, Slava is most used as a term for an old Orthodox Christian tradition where your family celebrates their patron Saint yearly at a designated date, by inviting guests for a feast at your house._
18:18 It's a trolleybus. It draws power from those wires above it, so it usually doesn't have an engine that burns any fossil fuels. Great video by the way and welcome to Serbia!
Welcome to Serbia brother! Explore, enjoy, and have a great time here. I love the horse statue metaphor I never thought of it that way but you're 100% right!
It's not children's daycare. It's real theatre, actors performing mostly fantasy and funny plays for kids. Kids come organized from preschools or with parents. When show is over they go out, they don't stay there whole day.
National Theater and National Museum are on the Republic Square. And monument to Prince Michael Obrenovic of Serbia. He was Prince of Serbia from 1839-1842 and 1860-1868. (Not 1968). He established the National Theater but did not get to see it completed. He did not establish the National Museum. The building of the National Museum was built in 1903 and first served as a financial institution. After WW 2, the National Museum moved in.
As someone who has lived in Belgrade my whole life, this has been a fascinating watch. Just experiencing my home from the eyes of someone who never saw it before. Incredibly fun video, I'm definitely gonna watch the rest as well, it's like I'm walking through Belgrade for the first time.
Hotel Slavia started construction in 1882 and opened 1888. Hotel was destroyed in 1941 in German bombings and new building built in 1962 is the one you can see today. I guess it was advanced for that time when you asumed to be 30 years younger.
Great video of my old country. I havent been back for 30 years so its refreshing to watch your video. Breskva means peach by the way. Its good to see you capturing varying arcitecture in the country. Thanks for sharing!
Hey :) I am from Serbia and watching this video from my hometown Subotica :) I really enjoyed watching this video and loved seeing Belgrade from your perspective. You did it justice :)
Love your energy and don't take this the wrong way but you got a couple of things wrong: The Tašmajdan park was renovated with the help from Azerbaijan but the park itself dates back to 1820 and earlier. The arena as you called it was initially a swimming pool and was used for all sorts of other sports. Most famously a Spanish Corrida (Bull fighting) took place in 1971 but the crowd was disgusted by the cruelty of the sport. There was also a bball exhibition game between Partizan and Fuenlabrada which made the world drop their jaw. The Russian Orthodox Church (Holy Trinity Church) was build by Russians who escaped the Communist Revolution at the start of the 20th century. Although I'm not sure of the exact year. The church next to it is the Church of St. Mark and it was inspired by a Serbian medieval monastery called Gračanica (Grachanitsa) and the bones of the only Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš the IV Dušan (also called Dušan the Mighty) are placed there. The National Assembly (The Parliament) was always that ever since it was built in 1850's. It was built upon a mosque that was there. Although not a nice thing to do it was a symbolic manifestation of moving away from feudal occupation and Islamic laws to self governing and freedom. You were right about the tram, it started in 1892 and it was the first one in the Balkans. What's astounding is that Serbia at the time only had limited autonomy from the Ottoman Empire and it still made sure to modernise itself following the rest of Europe. There was a famous constitution made in 1835 which is widely considered one of the most democratic in it's time. It took inspiration from Belgium, French, and the American constitutions (no taxation without representation). Article 118 banned slavery and proclaimed that "any slave who set foot on Serbian soil, voluntarily or otherwise is at that moment a free man". Sadly it only lived around 55 days due to pressure from still feudal Austria, Russia, and the Ottoman Sultanate who worried that their own subjects might want to have the same rights. Sorry for the novel length and I do hope you enjoy your stay. Edit: At 38:16, look at the father with the child in the stroller behind your head. Made my day (:

Thank you for being openhearted and presenting our country in such a beautiful way! You made a few mistakes concerning history but it's not a big thing because you obviously learned a lot about Belgrade and Serbia. Thank you for your interest in our culture. Stay safe and have a great time 😊
Great Video 🎉 It's refreshing to see you out of the tropics and on the other side of the World 🌎... Be Safe.... You really retained a lot of information from your tour 😮
Everything is fine as long as you want to learn about Serbia ☺️ and be sure that no comments are malicious. Serbia cannot be studied in one day, but you are doing really well! Enjoy your time in Serbia! You have a lot of places to visit. Really a lot.
Just continue straight the Knez Mihailova and you'll reach the Kalemegdan fortress and park, Zoo. You can see the confluence of the rivers Danube and Sava from there, take a walk by the waterfront. And from Republic square and National Theatre just a bit below right is the bohemian street Skadarlija. Also food markets are typical and Bajloni food market is just across Skadarlija, more visited in the mornings. The second big church you saw near the parliament is St. Marko's church. New Belgrade is across the river of course.
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Yeee, I was sure you would, one can't miss it :). I was born and lived in Belgrade 20 years, now in Berlin. Belgrade is my youth :) ❤ Enjoy, people are friendly, food is good. Book shops are nice in Knez Mihailova, and Skadarlija in the evening with music. Eager to see the part 2!
Enjoy yourself bro! You are a very respectful guy, honestly too kind. There’s a lot of problems in Belgrade but you showed only the nice side. Couple bits you missed were Kalemegdan fortress in an awesome position overlooking two large rivers meeting and Skadarlija Bohemian district for traditional Serbian restaurants. Otherwise you showed the nicer parts of downtown well bro thank you ❤
Very nice video! I'm glad you like it here. I strongly advise you to try and visit Novi Sad (it's the second largest city in Serbia and it's only 80km from Belgrade). You can take a high speed train (called "Soko") for only 5€ and 30 minutes ride-time (but currently due to an accident on the main railway station in Novi Sad it only operates to Petrovaradin station, but a shuttle bus to the city centre is organized). Have a nice rest of you trip!
This was a great video about my birthplace. I had a chuckle or two about your dates though. Knez Mihajlo, for example, was assassinated in 1868, not 1968. But great video! Thanks.
Thanks for checking out my home country - I am glad you're enjoying your time there. As a matter of fact, I live in the U.S. and I appreciate the fact that dogs here must be leashed when in public areas. Also, if you are able to visit Serbia during warmer months you will find that there are a lot of natural areas to visit as well as enjoy some water sports or hiking. Every part of the country has a bit different cuisine and I suggest you look for privately / locally owned bed and breakfast stays or smaller hotels (including the ones on the mountains), for some different experience in comparison to the major cities. 👋
Great video! I was born and raised in Belgrade and am now living in New Zealand. I thought I'd just watch the first five minutes of the video, but now I can't stop. 🙂 I'd just like to clarify something about the "children's theater" you mentioned. It's just like a real theater, but with performances specifically tailored for children, with stories about fairies, wizards, and magical adventures. Belgrade has a rich and highly developed theter scene, partly due to kids becoming theater-goers as early as 3 or 4 years old. Anyway, thank you for this video and enjoy the rest of your stay in Serbia! ❤
Great work, appreciate the long format. Its sometimes tough to be focused during the entire video, but its great work and great to go in the background as well. If you need any help, reach out! živela srbija!
36:10 This church, (St Mark's Church) was not just merely inspired by but it's actually a copy (upscaled double sized version 1:2) of Gračanica Monastery, a Serbian 14th century medieval monastery located now in the territory of southern Serbian outland, (now a NATO protectorate) named Kosovo.
That Albania building was named after a kafana (tavern) that was located there in pre-WW2 era. Name Albania comes from WW1, since Serbian army had to retreat in 1915 across entire Albania towards Greece, it has nothing to do with Albanians, it is just part of Serbian ww1 history. As for things found underground, Belgrade is an active city since 2 century AD, from Celts to Romans, so everywhere they dig deeper they find something. Recently next to Parliament building where they are building underground public garage they found Roman aquaducts, basically nobody knew it was there before, it was removed in pieces and will be assembled after they complete that garage. In place of Rajićeva shopping mall they found Roman forum (square) and fortifications.
@@ServerAdd haha a lot of it i got from a walking tour earlier in the day but as u can see i forgot most of it when i decided to make this video lol. Thanks for watching 🫡
Make sure to visit the Kalemegdan Fortress, it's close to your hostel and the main walking street of Belgrade you were on, the one near the Republic Square (Knez Mihajlova street). Youu'll have an amazing view of New Belgrade (western part of town and northern called Borcha). Also Zemun in the distance. Make sure to locate the Belgrade Victor monument (a bare buttocks guy on a 20m pedestal, you can't miss it once you see it). Like so he sees.
i love the way you pronounce the names of the places. You do it very clear for an American. You also have a good memory as well. Great job for pronouncing words like Tashmajdan etc. Here are some corrections: Hotel Slavia was built in 1962, not in 1990 like you said, and in a few years from now will be torn down in order to be replaced with a new hotel. The Slavia Square means The Glory Square, not South Square, This also means that Slavic People are the Glory People. Serbia is in South Europe, not East Europe, like Poland, Check Republic etc. Great work, I am very impressed and watched the video like I was the first time over there. They truth is I had been living over there for a long period of time until 1995, when I moved to Canada, but I still know Belgrade as my backyard.
Happy to see you venturing out to different places. Double-check if you should be buying a transportation card. I found in my travels in Eastern Europe there is an honor system with random checks, so be careful. Looking forward to the videos, enjoy!
I literally asked a local and they said that you should pay maybe one euro but they said some people pay some don’t. I offered cash but the driver didn’t take it so I’m not sure what i should have done lol
why wouldnt he be safe as a person of colour in Serbia? Black people were students in Belgrade while they were still kept in zoo cages all around europe.
I only made a comment like this because i know a lot of black Americans would not travel to a country where they think it’s predominately white. But those things don’t bother me i grew up with all white people. I love everyone lol
One of oldest modern type construction was Serbian one. When a slave step to Serbian soil, by law he is free person from that moment and the year was 1835... Some countries, take USA as an example, still have many issues. In Serbia that is not even a topic. Be normal person and you will be respected, be a jerk and someone will beat you up. Simple as that. 😂 It is safest possible place on this planet if you don't provoke or insult.
No, we are not pretty religious like you assumed at 9:02 in video... We tell we are so don't let that fool you, but actually it's just talk, we don't even go to church at Sundays or anything like in many other places. We like to celebrate but only for the sake of hanging out and drinking, even though it's "religious" holiday. People who are going often to church and follow everything religion tells we just call them fanatics. So actually, we are less religious than US or most other countries around the world.
Oh yeah, but you are right about slower living in weekends... Here in Europe everything is closed in Saturday but especially Sunday, only some shops are working, and shopping malls. Oh and if you want to go to Germany, don't do that on weekends haha because there is everything closed!
Yes, the Sundays are slower because a lot of people are either at home sleeping after going out on Saturday night, or enjoying their rest, or went to the countryside during the weekend.
You should have talked to people on the street... A lot of Serbs speak English because during the socialist era we watched American movies with subtitles, and Belgrade is even ranked among the top 3 cities in Europe where residents speak English... Serbs are naturally open, direct, with a Balkan spirit... they see you as a friend if you're a cool person. By the way, your knowledge of history is quite good, with some minor mistakes, but we are here to correct you. P.S. It's a really nice video... I watched it as if it lasted only 15 minutes, which means you're a good conversationalist."

Monuments are erected to great heroes that adorn the most important and busiest points of the world's cities. It is little known that some features of the monument reveal a lot about the hero himself. If the statue of a warrior is on a horse with both front legs raised from the ground, it means that he died on the battlefield, if only one front leg is in the air, the warrior later succumbed to injuries sustained in battle, and if the horse is on the ground with all 4 legs it is a sign that the hero died later of natural causes.
Wow that’s interesting this is the same in India i was told if i seen a military tank with the gun facing down that means it was captured and if it was up that means it did good in battle or something like this lol
Breskva is peach. that can looked like some soda with peach flavor. if you like natural fruit juices, they are actually popular for kids so every restaurant will have peach or apricot, pear, apple, orange juices that taste fantastic, like actual squeezed fruit.
We’ll see who takes the #1 favorite country for backpackers spot from Vietnam. Serbia looks like a nicer, cleaner version of NYC. Waiting to see the food and the countryside.
Serbian food is very tasty and natural. And the tastiest and best is in the south of Serbia. The cities in the south of Niš, Pirot and Leskovac have excellent specialties, especially barbecue.
Serbia has some of the worst air in the world, and the worst in Europe, it ain't cleaner than NYC, lol, what a claim. Vietnam is keeping its cultural gems intact, Serbia, rather than build an opera and park built unneeded water front which 99% of people don't need or can not afford.

@@PoJoTheBackPacker just one correction, it is a Church but it is temple as well, its called Hram Svetog Sava, which means Temple of Saint Sava, he is a founder of Serbian Orthodox Church so its a temple to him❤ great video, keep it up. Also visit Belgrade Waterfront as well must do this
Calling church a temple is an ignorance of those who made this translations, like is some hindu fraction. Saint Sava church is acctualy a shrine or cathedral.@@pavlematovic3037
That 2 church is Saint Marko church and its build by the Serbian monastery from Kosovo (Gračanica monastery) which is on UNESCO list of material hairaitage and mostaery of Gračanica is build in Serbian Moravian style of building in middle ages, very old monastery, church is from 20th century.
Welcome! I don't know how long you plan to stay or how much time you have for sightseeing, but I suggest visiting Avala, a mountain near Belgrade. It features a tower that was hit and completely destroyed during the NATO aggression but has since been rebuilt. The tower stands 205 meters tall, and you can buy a ticket to take the elevator up, where you'll find binoculars to observe Belgrade and a large part of central Serbia. There's also a restaurant where you can warm up, as it's quite windy at the top of the tower. I wish you a pleasant and enjoyable stay in Serbia!
Belgrade was the capital of Yugoslavia and it was the main parliament then ..and now the parliament of Serbia..Montenegro never had a main parliament while it was in alliance with Serbia
Palace Albanija s a high-rise building in Belgrade, Serbia. When completed in 1939, by the Serbian King not by Albanians, it was the first skyscraper in Southeast Europe. It remained the tallest building in Belgrade for 3 years, until being surpassed by BIGZ building in 1941. It remained the tallest building in Belgrade downtown for the next 34 years, until being surpassed by the Beograđanka ("Palace Belgrade") in 1974.
If you need to travel with bus, you need sim card for sending sms to buy bus ticket. But if you don't have ticket in bus, controler will pass you because you're forenger. Maybe they show you how to buy ticket for hour and a half. Price of that ticket is about 5 usd.
Tasmajdan park has been there since before but Azerbaijan government paid for reconstruction of the park, not like they built it from zero for a first time. Before first version of the park, there was a turkish cementary on this place so during reconstruction of the park I remember I could find a lot of bones around.

@PoJoTheBackPacker how long are you staying in Serbia bro? Let me know if you need any suggestions for places to visit. This country has amazing food, super beautiful nature, and incredibly hospitable people. Try the Mangalica if you get a chance it's life changing 🤙

The "Albania" palace was named after a WW 1 event known as the Albanian Golgotha. In 1914, Serbs kicked out Austrian-Hungarian army three times. Then Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Bulgaria attacked again, from three sides. Surrender for the Serbs was not an option, so the entire country - the King of Serbia, Government, Treasury, Archives, civilians, soldiers.. marched to Albania to reach Greece and the Allies. Hundreds of thousands died from freezing, hypothermia, starvation, disease, or by the hands of the Albanian mobs... The "Albania" was built in 1939/1940 and it was the tallest building in Belgrade until 1974, when the Beogradjanka building was built (the tall black building in the center of Belgrade).
Thank u for this

24:05 HAHAAH, you grabbed one of the best drinks that came out on the Serbian market in recent years. Basically, the idea of that brand was to mix sparkling water and juice 50-50 and it was a roaring success. Quality water and great juice with amazing taste, comes in 3 flavors - orange, pear and peach (the one that you are drinking is peach). Nice find, your intuition serves you well 🤣
*Sidenote:* _Slava in the Slavic language means "Glory" which is also used as the old english word "Hail". In Serbia and only in Serbia, Slava is most used as a term for an old Orthodox Christian tradition where your family celebrates their patron Saint yearly at a designated date, by inviting guests for a feast at your house._

It's not children's daycare. It's real theatre, actors performing mostly fantasy and funny plays for kids. Kids come organized from preschools or with parents. When show is over they go out, they don't stay there whole day.

@@hela1254 what’s the best place to visit in Croatia that tourist don’t really go to? What’s your opinion
National Theater and National Museum are on the Republic Square. And monument to Prince Michael Obrenovic of Serbia. He was Prince of Serbia from 1839-1842 and 1860-1868. (Not 1968). He established the National Theater but did not get to see it completed. He did not establish the National Museum. The building of the National Museum was built in 1903 and first served as a financial institution. After WW 2, the National Museum moved in.
Then my tour guide lied his arse off lol
Wow !!! Excellent video ! Absolutely super interesting and full of energy !
Glad you liked it! 🇷🇸
Azerbaijans donated money to rearrange Tasmajdan park, not to build it. Park is built in 1954.
Thank you for this correction
As someone who has lived in Belgrade my whole life, this has been a fascinating watch. Just experiencing my home from the eyes of someone who never saw it before.
Incredibly fun video, I'm definitely gonna watch the rest as well, it's like I'm walking through Belgrade for the first time.
Thank you for this lovely comment 🙏🏽
Beautiful Belgrade 🥰🥰🇷🇸 Enjoy
Thank you very much for commenting 🫡
You are nuts. Belgrade is the Shith.ole
Hotel Slavia started construction in 1882 and opened 1888. Hotel was destroyed in 1941 in German bombings and new building built in 1962 is the one you can see today. I guess it was advanced for that time when you asumed to be 30 years younger.
Great video of my old country. I havent been back for 30 years so its refreshing to watch your video. Breskva means peach by the way. Its good to see you capturing varying arcitecture in the country. Thanks for sharing!

Hey :) I am from Serbia and watching this video from my hometown Subotica :) I really enjoyed watching this video and loved seeing Belgrade from your perspective. You did it justice :)
Thank you
Welcome dear friend to Serbia! Food, plum brandy and loving people like no else!
Love your energy and don't take this the wrong way but you got a couple of things wrong:
The Tašmajdan park was renovated with the help from Azerbaijan but the park itself dates back to 1820 and earlier. The arena as you called it was initially a swimming pool and was used for all sorts of other sports. Most famously a Spanish Corrida (Bull fighting) took place in 1971 but the crowd was disgusted by the cruelty of the sport. There was also a bball exhibition game between Partizan and Fuenlabrada which made the world drop their jaw.
The Russian Orthodox Church (Holy Trinity Church) was build by Russians who escaped the Communist Revolution at the start of the 20th century. Although I'm not sure of the exact year.
The church next to it is the Church of St. Mark and it was inspired by a Serbian medieval monastery called Gračanica (Grachanitsa) and the bones of the only Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš the IV Dušan (also called Dušan the Mighty) are placed there.
The National Assembly (The Parliament) was always that ever since it was built in 1850's. It was built upon a mosque that was there. Although not a nice thing to do it was a symbolic manifestation of moving away from feudal occupation and Islamic laws to self governing and freedom.
You were right about the tram, it started in 1892 and it was the first one in the Balkans. What's astounding is that Serbia at the time only had limited autonomy from the Ottoman Empire and it still made sure to modernise itself following the rest of Europe.
There was a famous constitution made in 1835 which is widely considered one of the most democratic in it's time. It took inspiration from Belgium, French, and the American constitutions (no taxation without representation). Article 118 banned slavery and proclaimed that "any slave who set foot on Serbian soil, voluntarily or otherwise is at that moment a free man". Sadly it only lived around 55 days due to pressure from still feudal Austria, Russia, and the Ottoman Sultanate who worried that their own subjects might want to have the same rights.
Sorry for the novel length and I do hope you enjoy your stay.
Edit: At 38:16, look at the father with the child in the stroller behind your head. Made my day (:

Nice intro to Serbia Po'j. Can't wait to see more 🇨🇦
Respect
Brother you came to the right place enjoy!
I am having a blast so far!
Just continue straight the Knez Mihailova and you'll reach the Kalemegdan fortress and park, Zoo. You can see the confluence of the rivers Danube and Sava from there, take a walk by the waterfront. And from Republic square and National Theatre just a bit below right is the bohemian street Skadarlija. Also food markets are typical and Bajloni food market is just across Skadarlija, more visited in the mornings. The second big church you saw near the parliament is St. Marko's church. New Belgrade is across the river of course.
I just made a video at the fortress today. My god i had a blast that place is absolutely unreal
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Yeee, I was sure you would, one can't miss it :). I was born and lived in Belgrade 20 years, now in Berlin. Belgrade is my youth :) ❤ Enjoy, people are friendly, food is good. Book shops are nice in Knez Mihailova, and Skadarlija in the evening with music. Eager to see the part 2!
Thanks for an interesting video . Looking forward to more.
Great video , hope you enjoy your stay in Serbia. Not sure for how long you planned to stay but there is a lot nice places to visit.
I loved this! So much history ❤
Enjoy yourself bro! You are a very respectful guy, honestly too kind. There’s a lot of problems in Belgrade but you showed only the nice side. Couple bits you missed were Kalemegdan fortress in an awesome position overlooking two large rivers meeting and Skadarlija Bohemian district for traditional Serbian restaurants. Otherwise you showed the nicer parts of downtown well bro thank you ❤
Thank you for a beautiful video about my country. I am glad you enjoyed it.
I'm glad you liked it.
Very nice video! I'm glad you like it here. I strongly advise you to try and visit Novi Sad (it's the second largest city in Serbia and it's only 80km from Belgrade). You can take a high speed train (called "Soko") for only 5€ and 30 minutes ride-time (but currently due to an accident on the main railway station in Novi Sad it only operates to Petrovaradin station, but a shuttle bus to the city centre is organized). Have a nice rest of you trip!
This was a great video about my birthplace. I had a chuckle or two about your dates though. Knez Mihajlo, for example, was assassinated in 1868, not 1968. But great video! Thanks.
I appreciate the feedback. I'll be sure to do more research for my next video.

Thanks for checking out my home country - I am glad you're enjoying your time there. As a matter of fact, I live in the U.S. and I appreciate the fact that dogs here must be leashed when in public areas. Also, if you are able to visit Serbia during warmer months you will find that there are a lot of natural areas to visit as well as enjoy some water sports or hiking. Every part of the country has a bit different cuisine and I suggest you look for privately / locally owned bed and breakfast stays or smaller hotels (including the ones on the mountains), for some different experience in comparison to the major cities. 👋
I'll have to look into that for sure! Thank you for commenting
Welcome Bro to Serbia.. 🇷🇸🤝🙂
Children's theater is exactly that, it is a theater where children can watch shows suitable for kids. Good job by the way, great tour
Thank you for watching
Great video! I was born and raised in Belgrade and am now living in New Zealand. I thought I'd just watch the first five minutes of the video, but now I can't stop. 🙂 I'd just like to clarify something about the "children's theater" you mentioned. It's just like a real theater, but with performances specifically tailored for children, with stories about fairies, wizards, and magical adventures. Belgrade has a rich and highly developed theter scene, partly due to kids becoming theater-goers as early as 3 or 4 years old. Anyway, thank you for this video and enjoy the rest of your stay in Serbia! ❤

Appreciate it! It's a beautiful city.
That Albania building was named after a kafana (tavern) that was located there in pre-WW2 era. Name Albania comes from WW1, since Serbian army had to retreat in 1915 across entire Albania towards Greece, it has nothing to do with Albanians, it is just part of Serbian ww1 history. As for things found underground, Belgrade is an active city since 2 century AD, from Celts to Romans, so everywhere they dig deeper they find something. Recently next to Parliament building where they are building underground public garage they found Roman aquaducts, basically nobody knew it was there before, it was removed in pieces and will be assembled after they complete that garage. In place of Rajićeva shopping mall they found Roman forum (square) and fortifications.
Wow that’s amazing
Welcome to Belgrade man. I hope that you'll enjoy your stay here. Have fun ❤

Make sure to visit the Kalemegdan Fortress, it's close to your hostel and the main walking street of Belgrade you were on, the one near the Republic Square (Knez Mihajlova street). Youu'll have an amazing view of New Belgrade (western part of town and northern called Borcha). Also Zemun in the distance.
Make sure to locate the Belgrade Victor monument (a bare buttocks guy on a 20m pedestal, you can't miss it once you see it). Like so he sees.
Okay i will go tmrw
i love the way you pronounce the names of the places. You do it very clear for an American. You also have a good memory as well. Great job for pronouncing words like Tashmajdan etc. Here are some corrections: Hotel Slavia was built in 1962, not in 1990 like you said, and in a few years from now will be torn down in order to be replaced with a new hotel. The Slavia Square means The Glory Square, not South Square, This also means that Slavic People are the Glory People. Serbia is in South Europe, not East Europe, like Poland, Check Republic etc. Great work, I am very impressed and watched the video like I was the first time over there. They truth is I had been living over there for a long period of time until 1995, when I moved to Canada, but I still know Belgrade as my backyard.
lol thank you
Happy to see you venturing out to different places. Double-check if you should be buying a transportation card. I found in my travels in Eastern Europe there is an honor system with random checks, so be careful. Looking forward to the videos, enjoy!

we in Serbia know that colored people, unlike the majority of whites, HAVE SOUL!!!!

I only made a comment like this because i know a lot of black Americans would not travel to a country where they think it’s predominately white. But those things don’t bother me i grew up with all white people. I love everyone lol
One of oldest modern type construction was Serbian one. When a slave step to Serbian soil, by law he is free person from that moment and the year was 1835... Some countries, take USA as an example, still have many issues. In Serbia that is not even a topic. Be normal person and you will be respected, be a jerk and someone will beat you up. Simple as that. 😂
It is safest possible place on this planet if you don't provoke or insult.
No, we are not pretty religious like you assumed at 9:02 in video... We tell we are so don't let that fool you, but actually it's just talk, we don't even go to church at Sundays or anything like in many other places. We like to celebrate but only for the sake of hanging out and drinking, even though it's "religious" holiday. People who are going often to church and follow everything religion tells we just call them fanatics. So actually, we are less religious than US or most other countries around the world.
Oh yeah, but you are right about slower living in weekends... Here in Europe everything is closed in Saturday but especially Sunday, only some shops are working, and shopping malls.
Oh and if you want to go to Germany, don't do that on weekends haha because there is everything closed!
No, you just like attacking your neighbours
Yes, the Sundays are slower because a lot of people are either at home sleeping after going out on Saturday night, or enjoying their rest, or went to the countryside during the weekend.
@@lucyk2634 Nothing is closed on Saturdays, business as usual for much of the city.
You should have talked to people on the street... A lot of Serbs speak English because during the socialist era we watched American movies with subtitles, and Belgrade is even ranked among the top 3 cities in Europe where residents speak English... Serbs are naturally open, direct, with a Balkan spirit... they see you as a friend if you're a cool person. By the way, your knowledge of history is quite good, with some minor mistakes, but we are here to correct you. P.S. It's a really nice video...

Monuments are erected to great heroes that adorn the most important and busiest points of the world's cities. It is little known that some features of the monument reveal a lot about the hero himself. If the statue of a warrior is on a horse with both front legs raised from the ground, it means that he died on the battlefield, if only one front leg is in the air, the warrior later succumbed to injuries sustained in battle, and if the horse is on the ground with all 4 legs it is a sign that the hero died later of natural causes.
Wow that’s interesting this is the same in India i was told if i seen a military tank with the gun facing down that means it was captured and if it was up that means it did good in battle or something like this lol

Serbia has some of the worst air in the world, and the worst in Europe, it ain't cleaner than NYC, lol, what a claim. Vietnam is keeping its cultural gems intact, Serbia, rather than build an opera and park built unneeded water front which 99% of people don't need or can not afford.

Welcome! I don't know how long you plan to stay or how much time you have for sightseeing, but I suggest visiting Avala, a mountain near Belgrade. It features a tower that was hit and completely destroyed during the NATO aggression but has since been rebuilt. The tower stands 205 meters tall, and you can buy a ticket to take the elevator up, where you'll find binoculars to observe Belgrade and a large part of central Serbia. There's also a restaurant where you can warm up, as it's quite windy at the top of the tower. I wish you a pleasant and enjoyable stay in Serbia!
