In this episode of Grand Voyager, Lilly Douse discovers the captivating contrasts of Belgrade — a city where layers of history, vibrant culture, and riverside energy come together. Her journey begins with The Belgrade Insider, exploring the historic streets and squares of The Old Town and the imposing Kalemegdan Fortress, where panoramic views over the meeting of the Danube and Sava Rivers reveal the city’s strategic past. Along the way, Lilly samples traditional Serbian cuisine at Tri Sesira, helping to create local favourites like ćevapi, while learning about the warmth and hospitality that define Serbian culture.
Next, Lilly jumps into a classic Yugo with YugoTour for a nostalgic drive through Belgrade’s socialist-era landmarks and striking Brutalist architecture. As they cruise through New Belgrade, she uncovers stories from the city’s Yugoslav past and gains insight into Serbia’s complex identity.
