Romantika Topčidera Nije nikakvo čudo što je Topčider omi- ljeno mesto za fotografisanje paro- va pred venčanje. Kao prvi namenski urađen park u Beogradu, Topčider no- si taj duh prošlih vremena, čuva deliće istorije u kombinaciji sa prelepom pri- rodom, tako da u startu obezbeđuje posebnu atmosferu. Tu su tri mala ve- štačka jezera, tu je drveni mostić koji je najpopularniji simbol na fotografijama beogradskih mladenaca, kao i poto- čić koji prolazi kroz ceo park i nikada ne presušuje. Tu je i platan koji važi za naj- starije stablo u gradu, pa legendarna Hajdučka česma, Topčiderska crkva posvećena Svetim apostolima Petru i Pavlu koja je služila kao dvorska kape- la... Romantične asocijacije se same nižu i zovu da ih otkrijete… Romantic Topčider It’s no wonder that Topčider is among the most popular places for newlywed photo shoots. As the first purpose-built, landscaped park in Belgrade, Topčider carries that spirit of bygone times, pre- serving pieces of history in combination with beautiful nature. It boasts three small manmade lakes, a small wooden bridge, which is the most popular sym- bol on photographs of Belgrade new- lyweds, as well as a stream that pass- es through the entire park and never runs dry. There is also a plane tree that’s known as the oldest tree in the city, the legendary Hajduk’s Fountain and Topčider Church – dedicated to the Ho- ly Apostles Peter and Paul, which served as the chapel of the royal court... Here the romantic associations just accumu- late, calling on you to discover them. Postoji nešto magično u Skadarliji u sumrak There’s still something magical about Skadarlija at dusk
Dafne sa Ade Ciganlije Skulptura Dafne na Adi Ciganliji urađena je po crtežu Mome Kapora, umetnika koji je najlep- še voleo Beograd u svojim knjigama i na svojim slikama. Dafne je, po mitologiji, bila nimfa u ko- ju je bio zaljubljen bog Apolon, ali je pretvore- na u lovor. Beogradska Dafne, s druge strane, nosi i potpuno drugačiju priču o sudbinskoj lju- bavi koja se dešava u stvarnosti. Postavljena je navodno na mestu gde je Kapor sreo svoju su- prugu Ljiljanu i gde je započela njihova ljubav- na priča, koja je trajala decenijama. I baš oda- tle mogla bi da počne najromantičnija šetnja Adom Ciganlijom... Daphne on Ada Ciganlija Ada Ciganlija island’s Daphne Monument was sculpted according to a sketch by Momo Kapor, the artist who expressed his love for Belgrade in the most beautiful way, through his books and paintings. According to Greek mythology, Daph- ne was a nymph who the God Apollo himself fell in love with, but who was turned into a laurel tree. Belgrade’s Daphne, on the other hand, embodies a completely different story about love’s destiny that really happened. It is supposedly located on the spot where Kapor met his wife, Ljiljana, mark- ing the beginning of their epic, decades-long love story. And today the most romantic walks around Ada Ciganlija can start right there...
Melodija Skadarlije Ako vam se u beogradskom restoranu desilo nešto romantično, sva je prilika da je u pozadini svirala neka muzika. Ako vam se nije desilo, zna- či da niste bili u beogradskoj boemskoj četvr- ti, čuvenoj Skadarliji. Postoji mnogo opcija ka- da je u pitanju hrana, ali kaldrmisana ulica pruža obilje jednostavne romantike. I mada je možda Cetinjska ulica bolja opcija za nocni izlazak, ipak postoji nešto magično u Skadarliji u sumrak. Sa- mo tamo.
Skadarlija Melody Whenever romantic things happen in restaurants, the couple in question is almost always being sere- naded by musicians. If this has never happened to you, that means you haven’t properly experienced Belgrade’s Bohemian Quarter, Skadarlija. There are plenty of options when it comes dining, but the cobblestone street provides plenty of simple ro- mance. The nearby Cetinjska Street is maybe a better bet for a night out, but there’s still something magical about Skadarlija at dusk. Only here.
