27Belgrade city center is fairly small, so if you’re not in a rush, this is probably the best way to explore it in detail. When you find yourself on the corner of some two streets with signs either non-existing or, even worse – written in Cyrillic letters, don’t panic, the situation is not that bad as you think.

One thing about the people of Serbia and citizens of Belgrade in general: they are friendly and will help those of you who turn their head while trying to turn the map up-side-down with a confused look on your face. Most young people speak English or some other foreign language. Older folks will surprise you with their knowledge of German or perhaps Russian. Belgrade’s turbulent history implies a whole lot of changes in street names. So, while some buildings in Belgrade lack street names, others will have a large sign with a list of old names in chronological order, the last being the current one. If you wish to avoid all the fuss, you’ll have to try to get your hands on the newest edition of the map of Belgrade, but even with older maps, getting around wont be that difficult.
