When the hot summer days and tropical nights arrive, it seems they will last forever and that the only relief can be found in air-conditioned spaces. However, summer is short-lived and that’s why it’s important to make the most of summer’s magic. Here are several proposes for summer refreshment and relaxation in the city:
- Iced Coffee and Cool Cocktails
Spending time by the river is always a good idea, especially after a long walk or bike ride, when you can relax in a pleasant atmosphere. Belgrade Waterfront offers plenty of opportunities for enjoyment by the Sava River, where the plentiful selection of cafés and restaurants offers just what you need to feel good.
If you prefer unwinding with the highest quality coffee, Coffeedream not only provides a variety of coffee flavors and combinations, but also refreshing drinks and cocktails to complement every summer evening. If you’re in the mood for a shorter trip around the world, Kafeterija features top-notch coffee blends from Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Brazil, Cuba, and more. Continue your journey at La Casa de Cafe, where you can find everything from a rich selection of first-class coffee to an excellent offering of wines and spirits.
- Unique Gastro Experience
Cool off with special, handcrafted ice creams from the confectioneries Crna Ovca and LUFF in Galerija, or if you prefer premium wines, visit Decanter Shop & Bar, a wine shop where you can purchase the best wines from around the world, featuring over 600 labels. Additionally, at the impeccably designed space of this wine shop, you have the chance to taste wines paired with rich bites of Spanish prosciutto, Italian cheese, and French foie gras.
During summer, we often opt for lighter meals and fresh salads, so the combination of Italian cuisine and local products at the newly opened Jamie’s Italian restaurant is the perfect choice. On the menu of this restaurant, which is a part of the Jamie Oliver Restaurant brand, there is everything from light appetizers to salads, must-try pizzas and pasta, and the most delicious desserts, all with an irresistible Italian flair. At Fabrika ukusa, try healthy meals that blend traditional and modern flavour – homemade dishes as per our mothers’ and grandmothers’ recipes, natural fruit meals, healthy bars, and freshly squeezed juices.
- Magical Sunsets
Capture unforgettable memories this summer. Belgrade has recently gained another attraction – the selfie bridge, which has become an essential part of walking along the Sava. It is unique in that it has no supports in the river, creating a feeling of floating above the water.
Add summer to this mix, with its clear skies and enchanting sunsets providing the perfect backdrop, and you have all the conditions for flawless photographs and unforgettable memories.
- Open-Air Cinema Under the Starry Sky
Open Air Cinema is back! Until August 24th, every Friday and Saturday at 8:30 PM, watch movies under the open sky in front of Entrance 4 at Galerija. For a complete immersion in the magic of film, install the Listen Everywhere app for the best sound. For everything else, there are great domestic and international films, comfortable seating, a pleasant atmosphere, and a romantic setting under the starry summer sky.
