Prince Mihailo's Street

Knez Mihailo's Street

Prince Mihailo street is one of the most popular places you can go to while in Belgrade. It has a lot of shops , restaurants,  cafes,  hotels  and so on.  It is 1 km long and it starts on Terazije(center of Belgrade) and finishes in Kalemegdan(Park with fortress) . If you can find tourists in Belgrade you’ll find them there. It has a lot of street performers, acrobats, magicians, signers, dancers and all kinds of performers.  About 200 years ago it was a prestige neighborhood to live in, only the richest people in Belgrade lived there. 
While walking on footpath, on your side are numerous shops, selling most popular brands for clothing, souvenirs, snacks...
This street can be considered as one of the oldest in Belgrade and in Serbia.




There are a lot of old houses, fountains and passages. It has a beautiful park at the end of the street( Kalemegdan side) which has one of the most beautiful views in Serbia. You can see river Sava flowing into the Danube and enjoy in it for hours. I personally like sitting on the bench, watching the water and listening to music.  Trg republike(Republic square) is also a part of this famous street. It has a theater, a museum and there are a lots of events that are being organized on the Republic square, such as political rallies.
In the middle of Republic square is big statue of prince Mihailo, pointing to south.Its interesting that on the sides of the statues are names of some Serbian cities.These cities were on the south, under Turkish occupation and prince Mihailo was pointing on them, saying that tey are next to be liberated.
Behind the statue is National Theatre. Hundreds of theater performances are played every year!
People call Belgrade "Buried gold of Europe", so if you like meeting new cultures, old for hundreds, of years, i recommend you to start from PRINCE MIHAILO'S STREET.

People that come there are friendly, love to listen to some good music, to talk, and of course buy and drink some good beer.
There have been few incidents there so far, of course, because of too much beer, but generally it is pretty interesting and good going out.

Big bottle of beer (BF Belgrade)

My favorite beer(even though i don't really drink it often) is "Mythos" and all types of red beer, but not only because of their color, but because of that rare taste, that i can't feel every day.
Also,  among the local beers, i would recommend you to check out "Lav beer" and "Jelen beer".

Let's start!
