Why Ada Ciganlija matters

On a hot day the city seems to move here. A man-made lake with pebble beaches, bike paths, sports grounds and lakeside cafes fills with locals. It is a pleasant green break from the city, and you can rent a bike to circle the lake.

Talking points

  • It is a lake and park inside the city.
  • Locals swim and sunbathe here in summer.
  • Bikes can be rented near the entrance.
