Kosutnjak - Forest in middle of the city

Kosutnjak

Kosutnjak is name for small city-forest and neighbourhood near it. Name "Kosutnjak" comes from serbian word kosuta(Hind).There are a lots of cafes, tennis, basketball, and football courts.
It also has a few spacious meadows, which makes it perfect place for picnic or just hangout in nature.In Belgrade, this place is well know by so called "Haiducka Sesma" which means renegade fountain.

I love circular running track 1,5 kilometer long with instructions for gymnastics.Also there can be found exercise equipment and yoga spots.
There are also some events there like small car races, or marathons on which hundreds of people come every year.
Across the street is Department for sport that involves one big indoor pool and several outdoor pools.In indoor pool, you can have swimming classes.Prices are low, for indoor pool in winter, price per hour is 2e, and for swimming classes about 10e. Same is for outdoor pools in summer.                                            

"8" pool - it has shape of number eight

Outdoor pools can have about 1000 visitors at the time.
There are pool for young kinds, teens, for jumping (3, 5, 7, 10 meters)
There is a lot of space for everyone, to find shade, put their towel and other stuff.
There are 3 cafes with garden close to entrance and exit.
Security is at maximum and there are a lots of lifeguards that keep whole place secured.
In brief, Kosutnjak is complex of sport and entertainment stuff on the periphery of Belgrade, which i highly recommend you to visit when in Belgrade.

Belgrade BEER Fest!

Every august a big event called beer fest is happening in Belgrade.Beer lovers from whole Europe come to Belgrade to enjoy this 5 days long event.
Traditionally, ex-yu bands play their well known music there.

Prices are a bit bigger that in drink stores, but, where can you find so many brands of beer in one place.
Whole happening is located near popular shopping mall "Usce" and event can be attended by 20,000 people at once.

2012 - Beer Fest Belgrade - 700,000 visitors in 5 days

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".
