Best Grand Hotel Hotels in Belgrade
One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on the planet, this prehistoric settlement played an integral role through the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Serbian and Austrian empires eras. Those interested in the area’s colourful history can visit the many museums dedicated to its story. It’s also home to many theatres, monuments and an opera house, Belgrade’s prolific culture providing a bohemian vibe. The surrounding beaches and river attract summer sun worshippers and you can party the night away on a floating barge nightclub. Still largely unexplored by tourists, the Serbian city serves as a wonderful introduction to the Balkans.
