Knez Mihailova Street
Belgrade is a truly impressive city! There are so many exciting places for you to see
and interesting things to do that you will hardly have any time to rest when you are
there.
Situated on the banks of two great rivers, the Sava and the glorious Danube, the city
offers its charm to visitors from all over the world, who often wish to come back and
enjoy its charisma once again.
Once you have arrived in the city center, take a tour round the entire city so you can
find your bearings and get a taste of this fantastic city’s atmosphere.
However, one of the places that will definitely catch your attention is the high street
called KnezMihailova.
Located in the very city center, between Terazije and Kalemegdan, it looks like a
typical high street, crowded with people and decked out with all the usual shops. But
only at first glance.
The first thing that makes the strongest impression in KnezMihailova is perhaps its
architecture, which is a mixture of classic and modern style.
Influential families built their outstanding mansions there in the late 19th century.
Also, this busy pedestrian zone in Belgade is home to many cultural sites like the
Serbian Academy of Sciencies and Arts, Goethe Institut, Instituto Cervantes, Centre
CulturelFrançais and many others, including book shops and galleries.
Besides its architecture, there is something special about this street that cannot be
found elsewhere, particularly in summer. Approaching KnezMihailova, you can hear
laughter and voices, along with clinking of glasses from the outdoor cafés and
restaurants.
There is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere as tourists or Belgraders enjoy their midday
meal or just a drink.
