Belgrade by Night
When night falls on Belgrade, the trendy citizens of the city get ready for a night out, and Belgrade landmarks get ready for the night: thousands of lights illuminate the city and its attractions. Get ready to explore a completely new city...

Knez Mihajlova Pedestrian Street
Standing in the Knez Mihailova street won't have you wondering where the heart of Belgrade is. You're standing right in it. It has long been Belgrade's cultural and commercial center. Beginning at Terazije square, the kilometre-long street is the most direct link between the city center and the Kalemegdan fortress.

The Knez Mihailova street (or 'Knezmis') as locals call it, a pedestrian-only steet, is home to some of the city's finest architectural landmarks, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, art-galleries, libraries, shops and cafes.

It is also home to numerous bars and restaurants, boutiques, Belgrade's first modern department store (built in 1907), and hotels, and home to the Saborna church and the Patriarchate.

Sorry, I guess the website doesn't allow direct-linking and it appears that I can't upload them straight to photobucket using the image URL. Maybe in a few days I'll have enough time to save and then upload all the pictures.

In the meantime, you can check it out at www.totallybelgrade.com

Or if possible, maybe someone could do it.

Those are nice pictures, but I really am getting alittle bored with the fact that all the pictures of Belgrade has "mostly" the same area. I've probably remembered how every little store and building looks like on Knez Mihailova street, and it's time for a change!
