Manjež

Manjež is an urban park in central Belgrade with diagonal pathways cutting through planted gardens and tree-lined sections. The layout includes numerous benches along the walkways, and the surrounding area offers restaurants, cafes, and convenient transportation links.

The park was established in 1931 on the grounds of a former Royal Cavalry Guard location. Its name derives from the French word manège, referring to a riding school.

The Yugoslav Drama Theatre anchors the northern edge, drawing visitors interested in theater and artistic expression. The venue reflects how the space serves as a gathering point for cultural activity.

The park is easily accessible with ample seating along the pathways for visitors of any age. Its central location makes it convenient to reach by public transport or to combine with other nearby activities.

A statue of composer Frédéric Chopin has stood in the park since 2010, marking a musical connection between Serbia and Poland. This monument offers visitors a reminder of the cultural ties linking the two nations.
