Join a protest
Protest tourism is something that should never exist, but those who believe in social causes should absolutely keep an eye open for any protests while in Belgrade. One of the most cultural parts of the city is being destroyed to make way for a highly questionable luxurious development that nobody asked for and nobody wants, and the Ne Davimo Beograd group may as well be the last line of security.
Protests and events are held regularly, but those interested in supporting the cause should get in touch with the group regardless. Who wouldn’t love a shirt with a big yellow duck on it, after all?
Check out Belgrade’s underground
If ever there was a city that needed a metro, Belgrade is it. That is unlikely to ever happen however, due to a lack of funds and the whole ‘New Belgrade is built on a swamp’ thing. An underground train station does exist however, at the city’s famous Vuk Monument (Vukov Spomenik). It has been described as ‘one of the most beautiful railway objects, built in the worst time of the state’, and that seems like a fairly accurate description.
Belgrade is the largest city (by population) in Europe without a subway, and the station at Vukov Spomenik gives a heartbreaking glimpse into a future that will likely never arrive.
