Belgrade Old Town Walking tour








Belgrade is the capital of the Republic of Serbia with a population of about 1.7 million people and various cultural influences from difference empires. The city changed hands between the Ottomans and the Austrians several times until 1878. I took a 3-hr walking tour starting 10:30 am to cover the landmarks near old town. In addition to the popular squares and pedestrian streets, we walked to a famous artist house, a birthplace of Serbian characters, and most interestingly Strahinjića Bana Street (As known as the Silicon Valley) which used to host high end bars, restaurants, cafes, for the richest and gangs thus attract beautiful Serbian ladies with silicon breast implants to hunt for sugar daddies. I then walked on my own for another 2 hours to the farmer's market (a 300g piece of tasty puppy seed pastry only $1, two peaches $0.14, and a free cucumber), Terazije Fountain, Hotel Moskva (Former Palace of Russia), the National Assembly, and the Sava Church ( biggest Eastern Orthodox Church in the world).— checked in to Belgrade, Serbia.
