Stari Grad

Stari Grad is where Belgrade's thousand-year story is written in stone. The district radiates out from Kalemegdan Fortress, perched dramatically above the confluence of the Sava and Danube, and runs down the elegant pedestrian boulevard of Knez Mihailova, lined with neo-Renaissance facades, galleries, cafes and the Academy of Fine Arts. Two hundred protected buildings give the streets a layered, lived-in grandeur you simply cannot replicate in newer parts of the city. The real character, though, lives in Dorcol, the old riverside market quarter that has reinvented itself as Belgrade's creative engine. Here specialty coffee bars like DRIP, the Supermarket concept store and a dense scatter of kafanas and wine bars sit beside the city's last mosque and centuries-old townhouses. For investors and residents alike, Stari Grad offers the rare combination of prestige, walkability and riverside green space at Kalemegdan, all within a few minutes of the capital's government, cultural and financial institutions.
