Dorćol functions very much like a typical European old town, but with the added advantage of being an attractive part of the city to live in. Here you’ll find architectural gems from various periods, from Ottoman, Austrian to Art-deco and Yugoslav periods. Criss-crossed by long tree-lined streets, positioned in between a bohemian quarter, a vibrant green market and Belgrade’s fortress, Dorćol is home to the city’s best caffes, bars, restaurants and a vibrant arts and night-life scene.

Grandiose coffee houses and smoky dives pepper Knez Mihailova, a lively pedestrian boulevard flanked by historical buildings all the way to the ancient Kalemegdan Park and the Belgrade Fortress.

Enjoy a riverside jog, ride a bicycle all the way to Ada Ciganlija and back, go for a swim at the “Milan Gale Muškatirović Sports Centre“, book your tennis lesson at the „Novak Đoković Tennis Academy“, or learn how to play basketball from the best at the nearby „Dynamic Sports Club“

Dorćol is home to the art and party scene reminiscent of Berlin. Here you’ll find not only hipster hubs and numerous galleries, but also great nightclubs, superb bars, micro-breweries, cosy pubs with live music and hidden cocktail bars. Various parts of the neighbourhood have gone from ruin to resurrection and have become the city’s creative headquarters.

Check out some of the city’s finest vintage shops in this part of town. Also some of the country’s best fashion designers do their work in the neighbourhood too.

The adjacent building of the old power plant will house the new museum dedicated to one of the world’s most famous scientists – Nikola Tesla. In their vicinity, residents of Marina Dorćol will also be able to visit the National Museum, the Museum of contemporary Arts, as well as the Museum of science and technology

Belgrade is moulding itself into a fun and accommodating metropolis, particularly known for its gastronomy. And, no part more so than Dorćol. Whether you are after Balkan fare with a twist, Asian fusion, vegetarian, comfort food, or the best coffee and ice-cream in town, you will find a plethora of restaurants, gastro-pubs, iconic street-food vendors and specialist roasters to accommodate all your desires.
