Belgrade, Serbia

[Singidunum]

Hello my fellow northern people

This is my hometown Belgrade. I hope you have broadband because all of pics are great (they are listed by the time they were made not importance-actually the later the better).

I hope you are gonna like it.

This shows only couple of streets but still its very nice.


Kalemegdan Fortress. Oldest part of the city. Looking the same today and before hundreds of years.

[Geex]

Belgrade is really beautiful city, thanks for pics

It's only one thing that Belgrade actually don't fit to N&B region, but still it's nice to see some photos of cities like Belgrade

[Singidunum]

how much time does it take for people to comment? in ee section there would be already 5 pages in the thread, couple of users would be briged and baned and so on

come on be more active!

[Singidunum]

well I've seen some photos of polish cities and I know that most people don`t have a clue how does Belgrade look so I decided to make a thread in here!

enjoy

We do, we visit EE forum from time to time Well if you want 5 pages of comments i think you should wait a week or two But as Belgrade is new city here you can expect more comments

[Singidunum]

Politika always reminded me of Reval Hotel in Riga. (from the distance)

[John]

I've already seen most of those places in other Belgrade photo threads. I can make a conclusion that I already know the city pretty well, now all I heve to do is to see it "live" what I hope will be the case sooner or later

[Singidunum]

but I must repeat that those photos don`t show more than couple of streets!

[Mantas]

Very nice town and thanks for the pics (my FireFox runs 120 MB of RAM after opening )

Btw, what makes you interesting in northern europe?

[blimey]

Belgrade rules, a very nice city.
Thanks for these pics buddy

and mine is 165+ MB :bleh:

[Mantas]

^ Mine has already reached 145

[LatvianGG]

Dunno about mine, but I see some smoke coming out of computer. This shouldn't be good...

BTW, I expected to see more marks of the bombings etc. but it all looks clean and fresh. Or maybe the photo's are a few years old?

[Singidunum]

@Mantaz-I didn`t know much about baltic states before coming here(except of the amber sellers ). Most of the people in Serbia know Lithuania but Latvia and Estonia are "those...let...e..russian states" caucas states are azerjania and central asia is turjistan. very sad but people are very ignorant. no tourist agency provides baltic states not even Warsaw because everyone would say:going where? baltics? are you kidding.

I personally knew the names and capitals but not much about them. Now I see they are some of most beautiful capitals in Europe.


@LatvianGG - pics are from 2003 and 2004. of the bombing you can see chinese embassy, television(they don`t want to clean it obviously) and military HQs which are the worst because they are in the center of the town. Military has no money to fix them but they don`t want to sell them either.


everyone else THANKS!


If you have anymore questions just ask

[Singidunum]

btw this is where KM is coming from -Zemun-the land of Tesla and Pupin

[Gatis]

Very very very rich city (with heritage).
Interesting to see that there are used buth Cyrillic and Latin alphabetes. Serbs most likely have used to read their language both ways.

[Singidunum]

Well yeah we use both alphabets. Its 50-50 usage I'd say. I personally write in cyrillic because its the first script I learned but when I write like this (whats its called? not handwriting style but more like typing) I write in Latin script


You should know that except of couple of buildings and old fortress Belgrade was mostly built after WW I for beautiful buildings (it was actually rebuilt on the place of ugly Turkish style buildings with buildings which tried to copy some in Budapest and Vienna) and after WWII for commie looking ones(its good that they were building but I wonder why didn`t they hire more than one architect lol)

[liutass]

nice architecture!!!
