The damp night air, heavy with fumes, enveloped him, suffocating, cloying, his head spinning. Head down, he walked on, lifting one foot in front of the other.

shopping mall
There are shiny, bright modern shopping malls on belgradestreets. Ušće and Delta City to name but two. And then there are more intriguing malls, from a time that seems forgotten to many.

hidden places on belgradestreets
Wandering off the beaten track is rewarding. Walking along belgradestreets, the range of shops first struck me as disappointing. What takes time is the gradual realisation that many shops, cafes and bars are located, not on prime sites on the big boulevards, but in alley ways, underpasses and along passageways that often open up into … Continue reading hidden places on belgradestreets
