Belgrade

Anyone heading to Serbia?

Been there.   It is called Beograd over there which means White City.   It was pretty drab when I was there but that was when it was part of Yugoslavia which was quite a while ago.   They had the biggest apartment buildings that I had ever seen up until that time.   If cleaned up, it would be a very beautiful city.

Yes.  Anyone have recommendations on food and things to do outside of watching the wrestling?

Yep; I'm going to be there from the 15th-22nd. First world championships in person. Stoked!!

I'll be there the 12th-25th. Went last year too. Love the city. I was quite surprised at how many parks there were. Kalemegdan was great. A lot of stuff going on around there. Tesla museum was sweet. Old Belgrade has a lot of great walking/exploring. If you are a soccer fan both Red Star and Partizan both have good teams and it's a very different atmosphere than MLS. Tickets are also super cheap. I stayed at the very very top of western city gate, you'll know it when you go into belgrade from the airport, which had an amazing view of the city. I would stop at Mandarina Cake Shop everyday on the way to the arena. They had delicious desserts, sandwiches, and breakfast.

My favorite thing there was visiting the Kalemegdan(?) fortress.  It also has some wicked cool (and rather suspenseful) underground... tunnels?  By the time we got there I was a bit drunk.

The unfortunate thing about there is I can drink 4 gallons of their finest wine like nothing... take down a half gallon of absinthe and I start forgetting what language I speak.  Especially since finding a 82 oz NY Strip isn't really a thing you can do in Belgrade.
