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

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

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

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.

Андрићев Венац
Ivo Andrić (1892 - 1975) lived through the turbulent first half of the twentieth century witnessing two World Wars and the rise and fall of various forms of revolution and totalitarianism. In 1961 he won the Nobel Prize for literature. Among the books lining my shelves is a compilation of stories “The Damned Yard and … Continue reading Андрићев Венац

"Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would be he of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This city now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; … Continue reading stari savski most

возови и графити
Graffiti is a hallmark of belgradestreets. Not just the streets, sometimes it seems that any vertical surface is pressed into service as a canvas to express someone's ideas. I captured these images during my visit to the station on Saturday. I feel they deserve a post of their own, I hope you agree. The messages … Continue reading возови и графити

a little colour
Flower power still has meaning. All week there have been plants and flowers for sale in Manjež. A park which, if you have seen some of my earlier posts, you may know is one of my favourites here on belgradestreets. I don't feel this post needs too many words, I just wanted to share some … Continue reading a little colour
