If you go in the winter, there is a ski slope close by.

At £35pppn for a double room with breakfast and dinner included, it's an absolute bargain too!

The famous 'Sargan 8' narrow gauge steam train is a memorable trip through the mountains nearby, which I also recommend.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25415 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22942 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22942 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22582
For other festivals - take Dettol soap - you will never feel so clean!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22582 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18566 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18566 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17336
The Club of World Travellers is the coolest little place I've ever been. A 'secret' bar, it took us a while to find but it was worth it. Extensive cocktail list, good prices and weird decor all make it a place worth visiting.

For those into their history, how can anyone look past Tito's grave and museum? A definite must and, if you're into football as well, a mere 5-10 minute walk from both Red Star and Partisan Belgrade's ground (and the kindly staff even let you have a look around).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17336 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9921 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9921 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7313

Hotels such as Moskva and Balkan have a long tradition but are in the noisiest location in the city. Hotel Park and Royal are good, but only if you REALLY want to stay in a cheap hotel, otherwise choose a hostel. Any hostel lining the main pedestrian street is good, in terms of location, but avoid the ones next to the train station as it’s a bad neighbourhood (porn cinemas and sex shops, etc). I found an article in The Independent recommending Star Hostel, so maybe that’s a good place to start. I’ve checked its status and it has an OK rating.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6963 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6859
Madera on Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, just by Tasmajadan Park (and with a beautiful view overlooking it). Recently renovated, it’s a huge place, so most probably always has tables available. National cuisine and international.

If you want a more intimate atmosphere "A Klub" (national cuisine but the emphasis is on internatonal) is very posh, fancy, and romantic. It’s next to the Slavija Square, at 17 Makenzijeva Street.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6859 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2423
This is a lovely holiday resprt in Belgrade! It is an island on the Sava river. There are many floating houses, rafts, where people have their getaway place, it's very charming and romantic! On the other side of the island, there is a lake with a beautiful pebbled beach, sports playgrounds, cycling and rollerblading paths, a nudist beach, many cafes, restaurants, night clubs, even a bungee jumping site!!! In the middle of the lake there is a geyser fountain going very high up in the sky! Once I saw a rainbow there, reflecting through the water, it was spectacular! It's very worth a visit!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2423 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2422 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2422
