A more traditional Serbian nightlife experience, accompanied by traditional music known as Starogradska (roughly translated as Old Town Music), typical of northern Serbia's urban environments, is most prominent in Skadarlija, the city's old bohemian neighbourhood where the poets and artists of Belgrade gathered in the 19th and early 20th centuries.407 Skadar Street (the centre of Skadarlija) and the surrounding neighbourhood are lined with some of Belgrade's best and oldest traditional restaurants (called kafanas in Serbian), which date back to that period.[248]408 At one end of the neighbourhood stands Belgrade's oldest beer brewery, founded in the first half of the 19th century.[249]409 One of the city's oldest kafanas is the Znak pitanja ('?').[250]410

The Times reported that Europe's best nightlife can be found in Belgrade.[251]411 In the Lonely Planet 1000 Ultimate Experiences Guide of 2009, Belgrade was placed at the 1st spot among the top 10 party cities in the world.[252]412

Fashion and design

Since 1996,[253] semiannual (autumn/winter and spring/summer seasons) fashion weeks are held citywide.413 Numerous Serbian and foreign designers and fashion brands have their shows during Belgrade Fashion Week.414 The festival, which collaborates with London Fashion Week, has helped launch the international careers of local talents such as George Styler and Ana Ljubinković.415 British fashion designer Roksanda Ilinčić, who was born in the city, also frequently presents her runway shows in Belgrade.416

In addition to fashion, there are two major design shows held in Belgrade every year which attract international architects and industrial designers such as Karim Rashid, Daniel Libeskind, Patricia Urquiola, and Konstantin Grcic.417 Both the Mikser Festival and Belgrade Design Week feature lectures, exhibits and competitions.418 Furthermore, international designers like Sacha Lakic, Ana Kraš, Bojana Sentaler, and Marek Djordjevic are originally from Belgrade.419

Sport and recreation

There are approximately one-thousand sports facilities in Belgrade, many of which are capable of serving all levels of sporting events.[257]429

Ada Ciganlija island, with its lake and beaches, is one of the most important recreational areas in the city.430 With a total of 8 km beaches, and a variety of bars, cafés, restaurants and sport facilities, Ada Ciganlija attracts many visitors, especially in summertime.431

Košutnjak Park Forest has numerous running and bike trails, sports facilities for a variety of sports, and indoor and outdoor pools.432 It is a popular destination that is located only 2 km from Ada Ciganlija.433

The city is home to Serbia's two biggest and most successful football clubs, Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade.439 Red Star won the UEFA Champions League (European Cup) in 1991, and Partizan was runner-up in 1966.440 The two major stadiums in Belgrade are Marakana (Red Star Stadium) and Partizan Stadium.[259]441 The rivalry between Red Star and Partizan is one of the fiercest in world football.[260]442

With a capacity of 19,384 spectators, Belgrade Arena is one of the largest indoor arenas in Europe.[261]443 It is used for major sporting events and large concerts.444 In May 2008, it was the venue for the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest.[262]445 Aleksandar Nikolić Hall is the main venue of basketball clubs KK Partizan, the European champion of 1992, and KK Crvena Zvezda.[263][264]446 In recent years, Belgrade has also given rise to several world-class tennis players such as Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Janković and Novak Djokovic.447 Ivanovic and Djokovic are the first female and male Belgraders, respectively, to win Grand Slam singles titles and been ATP number 1 with Jelena Janković.448 The Serbian national team won the 2010 Davis Cup, beating the French team in the finals played in the Belgrade Arena.[265]449

Education

Belgrade has two state universities and several private institutions of higher education.452 The University of Belgrade, founded in 1808 as the Velika škola, is the oldest institution of higher learning in Serbia.[268]453 Having developed with much of the rest of the city in the 19th century, several university buildings are recognised as forming a constituent part of Belgrade's architecture and cultural heritage.454 With enrolment numbers of nearly 90,000 students, the university is one of Europe's largest.[269]455

The city is also home to 195 primary (elementary) schools and 85 secondary schools.456 The primary school system has 162 regular schools, 14 special schools, 15 art schools, and 4 adult schools, while the secondary school system has 51 vocational schools, 21 gymnasiums, 8 art schools and 5 special schools.457 The 230,000 pupils are managed by 22,000 employees in over 500 buildings, covering around 1.1 e6m2.[270]458

Transportation

Main article: Transport in Belgrade

Belgrade has an extensive public transport system consisting of buses (118 urban lines and more than 300 suburban lines), trams (12 lines), trolleybuses (8 lines) and BG Voz (6 lines).[271][272]459 Buses, trolleybuses and trams are run by GSP Beograd and SP Lasta in cooperation with private companies on some bus routes.460 The suburban train network, BG Voz, run by city government in cooperation with Serbian Railways, is a part of the integrated transport system, and has three lines (Batajnica-Ovča and Ovča-Resnik and Belgrade centre-Mladenovac), with more announced.[273][274] as of 2024 02 27 tickets may be purchased either via SMS or in physical paper form via the Beograd plus system.[275]461 Daily connections link the capital to other towns in Serbia and many other European destinations through the city's central bus station.462 Since January 2025 all public transport in Belgrade is free.[276]463

Beovoz was the suburban/commuter railway network that provided mass-transit services in the city, similar to Paris's RER and Toronto's GO Transit.464 The main usage of system was to connect the suburbs with the city centre.465 Beovoz was operated by Serbian Railways.[277]466 However, this system was abolished back in 2013, mostly due to introduction of more efficient BG Voz.467 Belgrade is one of the last big European capitals and cities with over a million people to have no metro or subway or other rapid transit system.468 As of 2025, the Belgrade Metro is currently under construction, which will have 2 lines.469 The first line is expected to be operational by August 2028.[278][279]470

The new Belgrade Centre railway station is the hub for almost all national and international trains.471 The high-speed rail that connects Belgrade with Novi Sad started its service on 19 March 2022.[280]472 The extension towards Subotica and Budapest corpus is under construction,[281] and there are plans for a southwards extension towards Niš and North Macedonia corpus.[282]473

The city is placed along the Pan-European corridors X and VII.[11]474 The motorway system provides for easy access to Novi Sad and Budapest to the north, Niš to the south, and Zagreb corpus to the west.475 Expressway is also toward Pančevo and new Expressway construction toward Obrenovac (Montenegro) is scheduled for March 2017.476 Belgrade bypass is connecting the E70 and E75 motorways and is under construction.[283]477

Situated at the confluence of two major rivers, the Danube and the Sava, Belgrade has 11 bridges, the most important of which are Branko's Bridge, Gazela Bridge, Ada Bridge and Pupin Bridge, the first two of which connect the core of the city to New Belgrade.478 In addition, an 'inner magistral semi-ring' is almost done and includes a new Ada bridge across the Sava river (opened in 2012)[284] and a new Pupin bridge (opened in 2014)[285] across the Danube, which ease commuting within the city and unload traffic from the Gazela Bridge and Branko's Bridge.[286]479

The Port of Belgrade is on the Danube, and allows the city to receive goods by river.[287]480 The city is also served by Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, 12 km west of the city centre, near Surčin.481 At its peak in 1986, almost 3 million passengers travelled through the airport, though that number dwindled to a trickle in the 1990s.[288]482 Following renewed growth in 2000, the number of passengers reached approximately 2 million in 2004 and 2005,[289] over 2.6 million passengers in 2008,[290] reaching over 3 million passengers.[291]483 A record with over 4 million passengers was broken in 2014, when Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport became the second fastest growing major airport in Europe.[292]484 The numbers continued to grow steadily and the all-time peak of over 6 million passengers was reached in 2019.[293]485
