Ada: Belgrade is a surprisingly green city, given its long hot summers, and there’re plenty of parks to enjoy. Ada Ciganlija is our favourite. It’s an island on the river Sava. While it’s Belgrade’s seaside during the summer, it’s great year-round, with restaurants and cycle hire services continuing during winter. It’s great to be able escape the city so quickly and conveniently. Ada: Beograd je iznenađujuće zeleni grad sa dugim vrelim letima i mnogo parkova za uživanje i Ada Ciganlija je naš omiljeni zeleni deo. To je ostrvce na reci Savi, koje nije samo idealno u vreme letnje sezone, već tokom čitave godine, s restoranima i uslugama iznajmljivanja bicikala, što je sve aktuelno i tokom zime. Odlično je što možete brzo i jednostavno pobeći iz grada. Opera: We’ve enjoyed trips to the opera a few times already, as the tickets are so reasonably priced. The National Theatre is a smallish venue, meaning you get a good view no matter where you are sated. The performances are usually subtitled in Cyrillic, so if your Serbian and Italian isn’t up to scratch, it’s best to swat up on the story before you go, so you can follow the narrative and enjoy the show! Opera: Već smo nekoliko puta uživali u operi ovde jer su cene karata veoma razumne. Narodno pozorište je relativno mali prostor, što znači da imate odličan pogled, bez obzira na to gde sedite. Programi su obično na cirilici, tako da ako vaš srpski ili italijanski nisu na zavidnom nivou, najbolje je da se upoznate sa pričom pre nego što odete u pozorište, pa možete da pratite šta se dešava i uživate u predstavi.
KO JE NAŠ STRANAC?
Moje ime je Harvi Parker. Pre četiri meseca sam se preselio iz Brajtona u Be- ograd sa svojom ženom i osamnaestomesečnim blizancima da radim kao art direktor u Nordeu - su, neverovatnoj srpskoj gejming kompaniji. Živi- mo na Senjaku, zelenom predgrađu Beograda. A ovo je moj izbor najlepših mesta ovoga grada…

WHO
IS OUR FOREIGNER?
My name is Hervey Par- ker. I moved from Brigh- ton to Belgrade with my wife and 18-month-old twin daughters four months ago, to work as Art Director for Norde- us, an amazing Serbian games company. We li- ve in Senjak, a leafy Bel- grade suburb. These are my favourite places…

Igraonicas: If you’re visiting with kids, look out for the indoor playgrounds or “soft plays”, as we call them in the UK. True to Serbian hospitality, they’re amazing places – immaculate and well-staffed, they offer good food and drinks and best of all the friendly staff are happy to play with your kids…so you can have a well- earned break! Most shopping centres have one and there are lots of independent ones dotted throughout the city. At the weekends they can get booked out for parties, but a quick call around after a google search for “igraonica” will help you find those available. There’re some great kid-friendly pools too, like Hollywood Land in New Belgrade. Happy kids equal happy parents. Igraonice: Ako dolazite sa decom u Beograd, obratite pažnju na zatvorena dečja igrališta ili soft plays, kako ih zovemo u Velikoj Britaniji. U skladu sa srpskim gostoprimstvom, igraonice su neverovatna mesta, besprekorna, dobro opremljena, nude dobru hranu i pice, a najbolje od svega je što se ljubazno osoblje rado igra s decom, pa možete da uživate u zasluženom odmoru i pauzi! Većina tržnih centara ima igraonicu, a u gradu postoji mnogo takvih mesta. Vikendima mogu biti rezervisane za zabave, ali izguglajte „igraonica“ i jedan brzi poziv će rešiti problem, naći ćete sigurno neku slobodnu. Postoje i veliki bazeni koji su sjajni za decu, poput Holivudske zemlje na Novom Beogradu. Srećna deca jednako je – srećni roditelji.
Rajićeva Shopping Centre: Belgrade is great for shopping, and this new mall is in the city centre. It’s got family-friendly restaurants, an indoor playground and it’s near the fortress and the zoo, so if we want to do some shopping and keep the kids happy we start here. Don’t just stick to the main shopping streets - you can explore Dorćol from here.. Rajićeva šoping centar: Šoping je sjajan u Beogradu, a u samom centru grada otvoren je nov šoping centar. Ima restorane za porodice, igraonicu, blizu je Kalemegdanske tvrđave i zoološkog vrta, tako da ako želite da idete u kupovinu i pritom usrećite decu, ovo je pravo mesto. Nemojte se isključivo držati glavne šoping ulice – odavde možete krenuti u istraživanje Dorćola. Museum of Contemporary Art: This has just reopened and is located over the river in New Belgrade. The current “Sequences” exhibition takes you through the region’s recent history. After a visit to the MoCA I found the city’s graffiti took on a whole new context of expression. Muzej savremene umetnosti: Muzej je nedavno ponovo otvoren, a nalazi se kod ušća reka na Novom Beogradu. Sadašnja izložba Sekvence vodi vas kroz noviju istoriju regiona. Posle posete muzeju shvatio sam da su grafiti dobili potpuno nov kontekst u izražavanju ovog grada.

Massage: My wife and I have been fortunate enough to do a lot of travelling and one of the treats we enjoy when in South East Asia is massage. We have found Belgrade offers world class massage treatments...and the prices are a treat too! Visit Jai Thai in Senjak and as soon as you step through their impressive door, you’re transported to a Thai temple. Masaža: Moja supruga i ja smo imali sreće da mnogo putujemo, a jedna od poslastica u kojima uživamo kad smo u jugoistočnoj Aziji svakako je masaža. Otkrili smo, međutim, da Beograd nudi masažu svetske klase, a cene su takođe prava poslastica! Posetite Jai Thai na Senjaku – čim prođete kroz impresivna vrata prebacujete se u pravi tajlandski hram.
