SERBIA
Country Overview:
“Belgrade is a beer-loving, stylishly-hip, graffiti-covered, European capital that hates its current president”
I visited Belgrade, Serbia after almost 3 months in Istanbul at the end of 2020. One of the biggest things I noticed was how friendly everyone is. Asking for directions, needing help, or just chatting to the clerk at the corner store, everyone went above and beyond to engage in conversation. The architecture is amazing, the food is great, and there are tons of craft beer bars. Despite a tumultuous history and its ongoing feud with Kosovo, I really enjoyed spending time in Belgrade and if you’re a fan of street art, this is the place to be. Keep in mind that I visited Serbia twice, and both times were in 2020 during the COVID epidemic. As such, many bars closed early and the bars on the large river barges were closed.
