Belgrade
Belgrade
Mysterious, lively and affordable...
The capital of Serbia ( and formerly of Yugoslavia), Belgrade has a population of around 1.6 million. Located in the Central European Time zone, summer time lasts from the end of March until the end of October.
With its moderate continental climate, an average daytime temperature of 11oC, and its unusually opulent sky, this city was an inspiration to many artists throughout the centuries:
“But the greatest splendor of that sky above Belgrade, that are the sunsets. In autumn and in summer, they are broad and bright like desert mirages, and in winter they are smothered by murky clouds and dark red hazes..”
by: Ivo Andrić, Serbian Nobel prize laureate
Trivia:
There are 17 Roman Emperors born in Serbia (Roman City in Eastern Serbia) Viminacium
