According to “Lonely planet”, the best known publisher of tourist guides, Belgrade is the city with the best nightlife. What can’t be found in other European capitals, surely can and will be found in Belgrade as this is the city that, like New York, never sleeps.
Every evening numerous nightclubs awake the dreaming spirit of Belgrade which is difficult to resist. The city doesn’t have a particular day “reserved” for having good time, and every day in a week promises some great fun. The night is yours, whether it’s Monday, Wednesday or Friday, while on weekends the entire city pulses with the beat of great nightlife.
Still, Belgrade was also at the top of this list some 40 years ago when the first disco (from Trieste to Vladivostok) was opened in Lole Ribara Street in Belgrade. Back in 1967, only Paris, London, Milan and, of course, Belgrade had discotheques.
Nowadays, the famous “splavs” (floating river clubs) are a cultural phenomenon known only in this region. They were transformed from places for relaxation into true attraction, and became one of the things that must not be missed when you’re visiting Serbia. These “discos on water” became so popular that the very word “splav” is now internationally recognized and no translation is needed. Just come visit and reveal their secrets!
