For storytellers

Why Skadarlija matters

A short cobbled street that once drew poets and artists, now lined with kafanas, traditional taverns with live folk music. Plates arrive loaded with grilled meat and bread, and the atmosphere is part theatre. It is touristy, but still fun, especially on a warm evening.

Talking points

  • It was a bohemian quarter for artists and writers.
  • Taverns serve traditional Serbian food and play live music.
  • Best on warm evenings.
