As I am enjoying the sunshine on a crisp autumn afternoon, I hope you will enjoy today’s postcard from Skadarlija – Belgrade’s charming Bohemian quarter. A charming cobblestone street packed with old-fashioned restaurants located in the same place for over 150 years, Skadarlija, is the Montmartre of Belgrade, and my absolute favourite part of the city. The history of Skadarlija can be traced back to the 1830’s when a Roma community found shelter in the abandoned buildings and made “The Gypsy Quarter” their home. At the turn of the 20th century, Skadarlija acquired its true bohemian charm when prominent writers, actors and artists moved from the Dardaneli Inn to the up and coming Skadarlija. Over time, Skadarlija became popular with international artists, writers, poets and actors, adding an even bigger bohemian influence…can you imagine having a drink with Toulouse Lautrec or Pablo Picasso right here?
