Skadarlija

Skadarlija is a pedestrian neighborhood in Belgrade with cobblestone streets and traditional Serbian restaurants. The area runs from Republic Square toward Bajloni market and preserves its appearance from the 1800s.

The neighborhood started around 1717 as a settlement for Roma people and later shifted into an artistic district. By the late 1800s, writers, painters, and musicians moved here and turned it into a cultural hub.

The street remains a gathering place where musicians perform traditional Serbian folk music in the evenings. The restaurants and taverns in the older buildings around it shape how locals and visitors spend their nights here.

The neighborhood is flat and easy to walk through, best visited in the evening when musicians perform. The area is car-free and has several entrances from surrounding streets nearby.

A fountain from Sarajevo stands here as a symbol of connection between Belgrade and Bosnia. The Sebilj fountain was given to the city and sits at one end of the neighborhood.
