Architecture, graffiti and design are a signature of belgradestreets. Kralja Petra has all in abundance. And possibly the most interesting clock I have seen in a street for some time...

kralja petra
Kralja Petra is one of the most famous of belgradestreets. Running up from the Orthodox Cathedral, cutting across Knez Mihaila and then on down the hill into Dorćol. A street whose cobbled surface retains memories of times gone by. Full of shops, exclusive and otherwise. Restaurant, cafes and bars. The ? kafana sits across from … Continue reading kralja petra

ski staza
From the steps that lead down from Kalemegdan to Pariska a small clearing can be spied in the woods of Košutnjak across the rooftops of the city. A few minutes drive from the city, the forest of Košutnjak is a breath of fresh air. Hidden away amongst the trees is Belgrade's very own ski slope, … Continue reading ski staza

vojni muzej
Deep in the fortress of Kalemegdan lies Belgrade's excellent military museum. The back of the ticket handed over for the fee of just RSD 150 reads as follows "The Military Museum was founded on 22 August, 1878 by Prince Milan Obrenovich IV's Decree. During its long history it shared the destiny of the Serbian people … Continue reading vojni muzej

I have always loved books, reading and losing myself in a good bookstore. One of my earliest memories of childhood was my first visit to a library, being captivated by the rows of books. Their colours, the smell of the books, magic, mystery and marvels awaiting the opening of the first page. The bookstores that … Continue reading књижаре

Music of every shade is alive and well in venues all over the city and further afield. These images, captured on my iPhone and published originally on … Continue reading zaz

passage to pašić
My first post for June was inspired by getting lost en route to a meeting earlier last week. Prominent among the hidden joys of belgradestreets are the myriad passageways, alleys and hidden courtyards. Easy to spend hours wandering and exploring. This passage, between Terazije and Trg Nikola Pašić, has the lot, oh and a gratuitous … Continue reading passage to pašić

May has been a busy month on belgradestreets and as the month comes to a close, I am looking forward to sharing more images with you in June as the Summer approaches. Perhaps sensing the uncertainty which has surrounded the outcome of the recent election, the weather has swung wildly from hot sun to turbulent … Continue reading clouds

kosovke devojke
A final set of images from my contemplative weekend walk around the parks in the centre of Belgrade. Across the street from the fountains of Андрићев Венац, another small park composed of a few terraced areas shaded by trees. Along the side, steps run down past faded buildings. Graffiti once more adorns the walls. We … Continue reading kosovke devojke

pionirski 2
Images captured on the same day as пионирски парк. Where the park meets Kralja Milana the park has a more formal setting. Flowers and fountains form a stage for conversation, a rendezvous for meetings. A fitting foreground for the nation's Parliament in the background.
