Galleries near Belgrade
This list should serve as inspiration since the galleries that you can visit and discover in Serbia are really numerous. Small galleries are veritable gems, and touring them takes a couple of hours rather than the entire day.
The “Milan Konjović” Gallery is located in Sombor, a little over two hours by car from Belgrade.

Serbian tea culture and local herbal teas
What people generally drink in Serbia are herbal infusions. These are made of herbs that all have significant medicinal properties. The best thing is that you can handpick them on mountain pastures, or on countryside roads and this means that you can obtain them fresh, without any kind of industrial processing. They are also a part of still widely practiced traditional medicine. We recommend to you some of the favorite herbal teas that you can find here. Almost any home has these and you can also find them in most of the cafés.
Mint is an herb of a characteristic scent and taste. Mint tea has a relaxing and calming effect. You can also use it for indigestion and sore throat.
Chamomile has an extremely pleasant sweet scent and mild aroma. One takes it to calm down all inflammatory processes, either applied to skin or mucosa, or drunk as a soothing beverage. Chamomile also stimulates your appetite.

Specialized breweries and craft beers
A couple of years ago, the expansion of artisanal beer-making, throughout Serbia, and especially in Belgrade, led to the opening of many specialized breweries where one could try imported industrial, as well as artisanal beers, and what’s more locally produced craft beers. We provide you with a couple of suggestions, and you feel free to explore and find a place perfect for you. Our first suggestion is Pivopija, a pioneer among specialized breweries and beer stores available in two locations – in New Belgrade and Zemun.
Miners raft is an ideal place if you like to drink beer on the riverbank. It is located on the Sava Quay, overlooking Ada Međica. In addition to good beer, here you can also have some sausages and burgers.
Српска кућа пива (Serbian Beer House) is located in New Belgrade and serves exclusively locally brewed craft beers. They also offer a couple of different types of sausages, and what is particularly interesting and convenient here is that you can take your beer “to go”.
Samo pivo (Beer Only) is a pub/bar exclusively offering beer. It is located in the heart of the city, in Balkanska Street, at a well-hidden location bragging about a huge and phenomenal terrace when the weather is warm. This is the right place for beer enthusiasts and connoisseurs, and everyone who wants to seriously explore different beers.
