Summary/Abstract: Belgrade (“The White City”) is not something unknown to the people of the Western Balkans. Moreover, it is as familiar to middle-age and older generations as Brussels is today for the younger. It was namely the capital of the 2nd Yugoslavia, for approximately 50 years. Before, it was the capital of the so called “old Yugoslavia”. However, today Belgrade is known to many tourists for being the capital of Serbia, having a population of 1, 2 million people and highly appreciated as the “ultimate party city” (according to the Lonely Planet), a city that “really rocks”. Especially is well known for summer clubs in heaving barges on the Sava and Danube River and for the restaurants and bars of the Skadarlija.
