Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade's summer secret is the splavovi — floating clubs moored along the Sava and Danube, pumping everything from techno to turbo-folk until sunrise paints the water. Winter moves the party into cavernous basements downtown. It's raw, cheap and genuinely friendly, with a live-music undercurrent that ranges from gypsy brass to disco. The hangover breakfast is burek, always.

Belgrade parties harder than anywhere at these prices, and the rakija makes sure you know it. Beyond the summer river clubs, the year-round action fills Cetinjska Street — a former brewery compound of courtyard bars and stages — and the arty warehouses of Savamala. Dinner first in cobbled Skadarlija with tambura bands between tables sets the tone. Nothing meaningful starts before midnight; a full night rarely clears twenty euros.
