Skadarlija

Skadarska street, about 500 meters long, is located in the strictest center of Belgrade. Due to the proximity of the National Theater, many actors lived here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With actors came, of course, other artist, poets, writers, painters. "Skadarlija" itself is shorter and stretches from the Boulevard despot Stefan to Strahinjića Bana street. Otherwise, according to data from the publication "Beograd i njegove ulice" by Danilo Radojević (Tourist press, 1966.), the street was named in 1872. and it is unknown how it was called before.

This part of the city is most often compared to Monmartro, both in appearance and in a cheerful, revered artistic atmosphere. The famous Serbian poet and painter Đura Jakšić lived and died in Skadarlija, whose house was turned into an artist's meeting place. In today's Skadarlija, which is an exceptional tourist attraction of Belgrade, famous for restaurants and old town music, there are galleries, antique shops and souvenirs.

Skadarlija is partly accessible to persons with disabilities and persons with special needs. Persons in wheelchairs should know that the cobbles are all along the street so that the movement is extremely difficult.
