BELGRADE Serbia 🇷🇸 | First Impressions | WHAT A CITY!!!

- In this video I spend the day exploring Belgrade, Serbia's capital city.
Some of the places I visited.
Republic Square where you'll find the national museum and the Prince Mihailo monument.
The beautiful Church of Saint Sava. A must if you go to Belgrade.
The bohemian area of Skadarlija.
From Skadarlija I walked towards Kalemagdan enjoying the street art on the way.
Kalemagden Park is where you'll find the Belgrade Fortress. Another must see in Belgrade. The park also has a zoo and an amusement park as well as a really cool bar and restaurant.
Facing the entrance to the park is Knez Mihaila. Belgrade's main shopping street where there are plenty of street performers and it must be said, plenty of beautiful women. The women in Belgrade are stunning!
Later in the night I went to the Freestyler nightclub. One of the many floating nightclub barges along the Sava river. I went with a couple of new friends I made at the hostel habitat where I stayed in the city. A great way to end a great day in Belgrade.
Drone footage is filmed with a DJI Mini 2.

Thanks for watching (and reading).
Serbs have a deep respect for Irish people.
I learned that as soon as I stepped over the border. I've been telling friends in Ireland they must go to Serbia. Cheers pal 👍

Irci su naši ratni saveznici iz prvog sveckog rata a Srbi su narod koji to ne zaboravlja. Živeo Irski narod!
Irish yes, the Anglo-Saxons no.

I was several times in Serbia and I have visited the cities of Belgrade, Subotica, Novi Sad and Smederevo. I had such a great time with delicious food and amazing and very friendly people! I can only recommend to visit Serbia! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Lucky you pal. I plan on going back as much as possible too. Hopefully early 2022.

Schöne Frauen darfst du nicht vergessen😊
Ppl here r friendly only to strangers... but h8 each other
Wow you have visited even my birth town Smedevo. Hello from Serbian lady currently in UK
You know we are very thankful to our brothers Irish people, over 5000 Irish heroes gave their life fighting together with us in WWI
The 10th (Irish) division. I'm just reading about it. In Macedonia there's a Celtic cross dedicated to the men that lost their lives. It reads "Do cum gloire Dé and Onóra na hÉireann. In memory of those of the Xth Irish Division who fell on Gallipoli and in defence of Serbia and of all Irishmen who gave their lives in the Great War RIP". Thanks for the comment I'm only learrning of this 👍
Belgrade looks like a good place much better than what I imagined
Same here Jonny. Next time you're in Europe we should take a trip over. Wait an ye see Montenegro
One of best placec on world..you hawe to wisit
5HERE ARE MANY THINGS TO SEE AND VISIT IF YOU ARE INTO HISTORY THERE ARE MANY PALEOLITHIC AND PROPALEOLITHIC SITES WITH OLDEST HABITATS IN EUROPE.
ALSO THE FOOD IS UNBELIEVABLY TASTY AND THERE IS A HUGE VARIETY OF FOOD FOR EVERYONE TASTE.
ALSO PEOPLE ARE REALLY FRIENDLY AND MOST OF THEM IN BIG CITIES SPEAK ENGLISH.
I HOPE YOU COME AND HAVE A NICE TIME!!!!
It does look to have a great energy about it.
Serbia - Europes Best Hidden Gem ♥
A hidden gem is right 👍
Would have to agree.
It iz amazing how unbiased this vlog is. Maybe because this man is Irish, not English for example. Love from Serbia 🇷🇸🇮🇪
Glad to hear mate. Definitely no bias on my part. I suppose the Brits and Americans grow up with a lot of propaganda that we don't get in Ireland. I mean there's propaganda but when it comes to the troubles of the former Yugoslavia there's no blame game like some other countries have Nato countries etc. BTW the flag you posted is Italian not Irish 😂
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Yeah Italian... right. That was intended. Just kidding lol... fixed now
Irish people are always welcome in SERBIA. Nice video brother/brate. GOD bless you.
I felt the most welcome in Serbia. Told all of my friends they have to go there and see for themselves. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for the comment 🇷🇸💚
I was born in Belgrade, and I currently live in northern Dublin, more precisely Swords... I love both cities and both countries. God bless Serbia and Ireland. ❤
I' ve never seen so kind people as Irish people are, as warm as Serbian......we are so similiar.....Salud Irish!
A massive take from my time there is how friendly and easy to talk to Serbian people are. Of all the places I've been I reckon Serbs are the easiest to talk and DRINK with 😂. Can't wait to go back amd bring some Irish friends 😉👍
Salud Irish.....all the best!
Serbs owe a lot to Irish. In 1915, the Serbian army and civilian refugees were pulling out from the onslaught of combined German, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian armies. Bulgarians tried to cut off their retreat. However, the 10th Irish Division (UK at that time) covered their retreat, facing an entire Bulgarian army. The 5th Dublin battalion got decimated in that battle, and others took pretty much the same beating, but Serbian army was able to pull out, and live to fight another day. If you go to Macedonia to lake Dorjan, you can find a monument to the sacrifice of the Irish soldiers.
ps. As I won't be doing any travel, due to Covid-19 restrictions, any time soon, can you go to The Old Borough in Swords and have a pint there for me? :-)
I've heard about the Irish soldiers in some of the comments here and looked it up. Fascinating piece of history. It's sad many Irish people don't know of these soldiers. It would make a great film someday.
I wouldn't get out to Swords too often but when I do I'll be sure to have a couple of pints for you 😂. The Old Borough is a Wetherspoons so cheap pints I'm all about it 😉. Did you live in Dublin before?
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Probably because they were part of UK forces back then...
@@raderadumilo7899 yes that would make sense. There's a bit of a stigma there
@@PaulTheIrishPainter I've talked to some people in Dublin about it. They told me that it is actually suppressed in schools. It is just skimmed over in history classes in school. I was a bit surprised when I went to the history museum at Collins Baracks. At the beginning of the tour you are welcomed by a plaque that begins with:
For in far foreign fields from Dunkirk to Belgrade...
I was in serbia in september 2021 for 2 weeks belgrade was fantastic, the splavs are awesome, they have a lot of restaurant splavs too, RIO cafe was a good splav for food if you ever go back be sure to hit up Ada Lake too there is this place where you can get really good Plijeskavica (its like a burger thats stuffed with cheese etc)
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely go back so these are great recommendations. Cheers Andrew 👍
Beautiful city square. Interesting thank you! Enjoyed it.
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍
Looks beautiful, need to visit
You'll love it pal. Serbs have a great connection with the Irish
You would love it.
Singidunum (Serbian: Сингидунум/Singidunum) was an ancient city which later evolved into modern Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The name is of Celtic origin, going back to the time when Celtic tribe Scordisci settled the area in the 3rd century BC, following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans.
Only after arriving and leaving I learned about this Celtic origin. Very interesting. Thank you 👍
Never happened
No invasion in the third century, the celtic tribes lived in the today Hungarian territories and maybe to southern but before the last 2000 years they left, maybe not ol of them...
🤣🤣🙈🙈
This is one of the best videos about Belgrade, from a foreigner. Short, sweet, and to the point. I enjoyed it and think you really captured what Belgrade is all about. Very well done and you need to come back soon!
It's great to hear that Serbian people can enjoy my video. It's always a worry that I'll get everything completely wrong and piss people off. I had a great time and will definitely go back. Hoping to bring some friends next time. Thanks a lot for the comment 👍
Welcome to Serbia. Around 5% of serbian blood is actually celtic. Old name of Belgrade is SINGIDUNUM, that name was given by the Celts. Irish pubs are everywhere around Serbia, every biger city has couple irish pubs.
Singidun. The -um was added by the Romans in their language.
Thanks for the interesting history i had no idea. I guess that's where The Orthodox Celts got their good genes from 👍😉
Story about founding the Belgrade as a Singidon , from people name Scordisci is true, ref. Analae Romanum and later books by Franciscan scholars , like Lasvanin/ Migierri , says that it is latin transcript of local name Skordici ( Шкордићи ), so , that Kelt origin is scarcely understand.
Yes that is true I am serbian and have 15 % celtic dna
@@kristinavukovic1291 ok, someone is 0, someone is 10, someone 15%, but in average 4-5% celtic dna. It is hard to count prec.
Ahhh BELGRADE…this city never sleeeeeps
An irish man meet indian guys in the downtown of Belgrade,in Serbia , and his vlogs is watched by a romanian (me) on UA-cam
so cool experience...
4:44 The Serbian Rambo :)
That's class when I think about it. Cheers Dan 👍 Serbian rambo looks hard as nails. A little chat with him would have been very interesting but probably a bit risky walking up to him with a camera 😂
mr Worldwide
Man, I’m from Belgrade and I watched several videos about it but yours is the most genuine and respectful that I ever seen. You just got a new subscriber, I will be glad to watch the rest of your videos about any country in the world.
You are a true man of culture, my friend!
Hvala, Irish brother!
Hvala my friend 👍. I really appreciate your comment. From the moment I arrived on the Serbian border the agent was so friendly and cool he set the stage for a great time in Belgrade. I already knew I was going to love it there. This video is me on holidays exploring a new city so I'm glad it's genuine. Unfortunately I only saw Belgrade this time. I know there's plenty more to see. Will be back there with my camera when I can 👍
Glad you came in Serbia 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 Welcome
Thanks Nikola 👍
Greetings from dublin an Serbian guy))welcome to Serbia
Thanks pal. I hope you're enjoying Dublin 👍
This is great👍🏻 Love from Serbia❤️🇷🇸
Thanks a lot. Love from Dublin, Ireland 👍
The plateau The St. Sava church stands on is to be reconstructed, the church itself is still going through its final stages of building and fine artwork.
Dobro došli u Beograd i SRBIJU .
Willkommen in Serbien !
Amazing city 😲😲😲
I love Belgrade
Me too!
Great Video Paul👌. Lovely City Belgrade. Their pubs & nightclubs are buzzin', while ours are really hurting here in Ireland. Love the drone shots. Nearly at 1k subs paul👍. Keep going☘.
Thanks Levina. Yes I'm not far from 1k subs now. I should have travelled more in Serbia as this video is getting g empty of views and nice comments. I'll just have to go back 😂
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Exactly 😀. I'm planning to go to Turkey early January. I will watch All your Turkish Videos again👍. Have a Great Christmas 🎄& All the Best for New Year 2022. Cheers☘🥳🎊🎆.
@@levinawalsh2015 early January so soon. Lucky you! Not a bad time to get away. Is it just Istanbul you're going to?
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Istanbul first, then hopefully Bodrum & maybe Antalya. Really looking forward to it☘😀.
@@levinawalsh2015 sounds like a great trip. Have great Xmas you too and a happy new year 😉👍
this is by far, so far, my favorite, tourist vlog from belgrade, i live in a nearby town, would love to visit ireland in the years to come, cheers brother and may you prosper from your travels and adventures
Thanks a lot pal I'm glad you liked the video. Belgrade was awesome. Would love to see more of Serbia another time. When you come to Ireland we'll have a Guinness waiting for ya 👍
A fellow Dub here Paul, looking to do a trip round the Balkans at the end of March..starting in Bucharest, your vids are giving me a great insight! Belgrade looks amazing i have to say!
Cheers Colin you have a class trip ahead of you. Wish I could do it again with more time. Belgrade is class and they have a lot of respect for the Irish there. I spent most of my time in the three carrots Irish pub. You'll have to go in. Staff and customers very sound. Nice little home away from home while traveling. Are you going a few other places as well?
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Sound for the heads up on the Three Carrots, i'll be sure to check it out if and when i get to Belgrade. So the story with me is...I have a one way flight booked to Bucharest and then plan to see where the road takes me from there? I watched your video from Brasov..looks like a lovely little town so hopefully i get to pay it a visit too. So are you back home now after your travels? Oh i was in Naples myself the summer of 2020 around the same time as yourself, your videos were bringing it all back to me!
@@endevourdaze that's just what I did. Got to bucharest and played it by ear. It's the best way! Fairplay you had the balls to go to Naples then when we were advised not to 😂. Romania is class. Yea I'm home now painting on building sites. Still surrounded by Romanians 😄
@@PaulTheIrishPainter I like to live by my own rules Paul so if there was a way to get out of the country at that time I was definitely gonna make it happen..and I did😄Mind you, I was living in Germany at the time so I flew from there but the advice re travel was the same as in Ireland at the height of covid! By the way, did you make it to the island of Ischia when you were in Naples, I spent a few days there..was beautiful..got the ferry over and back from Naples so it was a nice variation on the vibe that goes with a city trip and overall I got the best of both worlds with a city and beach holiday rolled into one! Ah right so you started out from Bucharest, seems like a good starting location and from the vids I've been watching a beautiful city too so all good really!
@@endevourdaze some people staying at rhe hostel were talking about going to Ischia. I said I was going but forgot the next day. When I got back to the hostel they were all gone. So easybto go to Naples from here so that's another good reason to head back. While on Alalfi coast I also didn't go to Capri island or Salermo so that's a nice little trip I'll be planning at some stage 😉
But, the temple... simply wow... There is a crypt beneath the sanctuary, you missed it...
I'm raging I missed it. A few people left comments after watching the video. Belgrade is one of the places I can say with certainty that I'll go back again soon so I'll have another chance to see the crypt 👍
Belgrade - WhiteCity comes from the Kalemegdan fortress , stone that it is made of is very light color ( or at least it was ) , it appeared white from a far.
Thank you Bob I appreciate the info 👍
The stone was white when the fortress was built. Now it isn't any more,cause it's really old. 😉
Have a good time in Serbia were a great country :)
Thank you I loved it. Will go back for sure and see more
Glad you enjoyed our city!
It looks a most interesting place!
A ovo je epizoda kelti u njihovoj pradomovini ... :)
Amazing drone shots mate ... Hope you had a good time, especially that night >D
Thanks pal. Great time all round day and especially night 😉
Of all the traveling vlogs from Belgrade that I have seen, I liked yours the most. Honest, smiling, no click bites, all about the spirit of the city.
Thanks so much I'm delighted to hear that 😁👍
When you look at Belgrade from the west side, across the Sava and Danube, (when you are in New Belgrade and look at the fortress) at sunset Belgrade shines white ... that's how it got its name White city....long time ago...older than many countries.
BELGRAD WUNDERSCHÖN 💗💗💗❤❤❤💞💕💓💖💝
Beautiful city indeed 😁
White city because of the color of the fortress walls when viewed from the river ...
Serbs love the Irish very much, because when they came to the Balkans as Slavs, they found Celts there and mixed with them ... Serbs also have Celtic genes!
Old Belgrade name is Singidunum (Serbian: Сингидунум/Singidunum) was an ancient city which later evolved into modern Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The name is of Celtic origin, going back to the time when Celtic tribe Scordisci settled the area in the 3rd century BC, following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans.
I recommend a trip from Subotica and Novi Sad (former Austro-Hungary) to Nis (via Krusevac, Kraljevo and Uzice (ex Ottoman Empire), to see all the colors and contrasts of the Balkans and Serbia).
Thanks for the fascinating info. Good to know for my return trip 👍😉
I love this video! It's filmed really well and your personality is lovely to watch.
Thanks a million Bonnie you just made my day 😁. I really enjoyed making this one so I'm glad it shows in the video. Belgrade is an amazing city
Many East Indian travel through Belgrade to Canada. They stop by for 2 weeks before catching flight. We can see that self isolation working. Lol.
Not a bad place to stop off. I bet they don't want to leave 😉
Magnifique reportage
Thanks a lot pal 👍
Such a pleasant video, in a very charming and relaxing manner. I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Manuela I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it 😁👍
The church is really amazing!
It sure is. Its called Sava cathedral or church of Saint Sava
Thank you for wonderful video! It is really interesting & motivating for travel. Cannot wait when all of us start easily travel again! xx
Thanks I'm glad to hear that. I hope you can travel again soon. Some places are less strict than others so choose wisely 😉👍
I was working on a boat where british guests were, I was kind, of course, the first question is Whether it is safe to come to Serbia I was shocked first afterwards I tried to explain that not everything is as the news reports and that they come freely to visit the beauty of our country, this man has proven like many that Serbia is one of the safest countries in Europe and that you are free to visit and know the beauty Our countries
Very safe, clean and super friendly. I think people from these parts think Eastern Europe, Balkans etc are dangerous after watching so many films portraying it that way. There's no doubt walking the streets of London or Dublin is more dangerous than walking around Belgrade. Had my phone stolen from a junkie a couple of weeks ago in Dublin. I caught him and got it back a few minutes later. No video unfortunately 😉
@@PaulTheIrishPainter agree, enjoy in Serbia brother, wish you all the best 💪
@@AIcompany1 thanks a lot pal. I'm not there now but looking forward to going back and seeing more of Serbia
Thx for making video of 🇷🇸!
That was some bar lol I could drink there for the week. Great video as usual stay safe Merry Christmas ☘️
The three carrots Irish pub Belgrade that's the best pub I found on that trip. I spent the remaining couple of days in that pub. Took a little break from the vlogging 🍻😉
Thanks a lot for your impressions
15:31 What a freaking shot! Nice one man!
Thank you glad you liked it 👍
Our Irish brother from another mother
Thats right pal 👍
@@PaulTheIrishPainter respect for Mícheál Ó Coileáin.
what a positive guy!
Thanks Marko 👍
Serbia is one of the best countries in the world.
I only made it to Belgrade but can say it's one of the best cities I've ever been to. Possibly the best 👍
@@PaulTheIrishPainter I would recommend it to visit spa localities,Serbia is very rich in spa's ,also our monasteries are much older than America discovery,so enjoy in authentic and wonderful Serbia .
White in the name came from medieval times since fortress inside at that time was filled with towers and buildings (where park is now) built with white stone so approaching from the river it looked like white town,it was kinda glowing white.
Tesla museum will be moved to a much larger building soon (in 2-3 years), actually it's an old abandoned power plant building on the Danube and near city center. This current building was kinda temporary solution, since they can't show most of Tesla's stuff because of lack of space, big chunk is collecting dust in depot.
That pavement around Saint Sava temple is not repaired because next year they will start renovation of that whole area around the temple,they are finishing now with circle plateau around it.
Thanks for the info 👍. While visiting for a short time I'd never have learned this. Much appreciated 👍
Indeed, the first known mention of Belgrade as a "White City (fort)" was in the 9th century in a letter by Pope John VIII.
Since you are from Ireland, I recommend that you listen to a famous Serbian band from Belgrade called the Orthodox Celts, they play Irish music, I am convinced that you will like it. With a pint of beer, of course, Cheers. One interesting piece of information for you, the Celtic Scordisci tribe, founded Belgrade in the 2nd century BC and named it Singidunum
A serbian friend I met in Turkey played them for me so when I was in Belgrade I looked them up to see but they had no gigs unfortunately. Great band I've listened a lot since
@Ante Pavelić what's up ustasha
@Ante Pavelić Bljakburg, OVČARA, Škabrnja
@Ante Pavelić Što bi rekao jedan pametan čovek: "DIJEVNAGOSTAŠOU"
I didn't study the Sigidunum history but the terminologie is roman and the romans ruled in the second century the area, so believe me that even if they built in the top of an old city, in that moment any urban activities was romans activity. The Thracians/vlachs or eventually celtic population in the area was living in the villages around the cities or shepherds on the hills and mountains.
I visit Belgrade. Good city..
Great city indeed 👍
Irish people are like brothers to us! We will Never forget ur help in WW1 ❤!
Hellooo I am from a long line of Belgraders and this is the best foreigner video of my city I have ever seen. You really captured the vibe / spirit of the city. Perhaps because Irish and Serbs have a similar spirit. Celts and Serbs go way back, from the time before the Roman Empire when that fortress was built...
Thank you for a great video! ☀️
Delighted to hear it thanks Marija. The video was made on my first day. While there I met loads of Serbs and had a great time so my only regret is not getting more of that on Video. There's a whole history there that I didn't know about. Like the Irish soldiers (10th division) that died fighting to protect Serbia in ww1. Almost every Serb I met is a historian lol. Can't wait to go back 👍
@@PaulTheIrishPainter We love guests, it is a big part of our culture. Before Christianity in the old Slavic faith we even had a deity called Radgost - which means joyful for guests. As long as they don't try to steal our land or tell us how to live (which we've had plenty of through the centuries) we love welcoming good people and sharing our culture! So we will be very welcome to visit again!
The guy you’ve seen sparing with himself is kengursrb and the painting on the wall is a partizan football club fan that was killed
Thanks a lot for the info Marko 👍
Good video Paul. The Irish people are very good people. I like them very much. They have a tough and hard history, but their heart and way of life are in the right place. Wiskey and Šljivovica can not be wrong. Rakija connecting people
Thank you Milan. I feel the very same about the Serbian people. I'd only met 3 Serbs before going there who are very cool people so I wasn't surprised at how hospitable, friendly the people were in Belgrade. I will go back and see more for sure 👍
Serbians have the upmost respect for Irish people as we have both been oppressed by a greater power. Both of our cultures have been attempted to be destroyed by our oppressors but we kept fighting and eventually preserved it. The Irish are always welcome in Serbia, as for the English… well… we shall see hahaha
I honestly knew very little about Serbia's history before going. I quickly learned about the appreciation for Irish soldiers who died fighting on behalf of Serbia in WW1. Appreciation for the Irish in general. I've been telling Irish friends constantly they have to visit Serbia. I can't wait to go back
@@PaulTheIrishPainter can’t wait to have you back
@@worldeater1498 thanks a lot pal 👍
Glad you liked it here, I dont know why but recently ive been seeing a lot of ppl visit serbia
I'm glad to hear that. No doubt it will become more and more popular
wow.. it looks amazing!
It is an amazing city for sure 👍
A really good and natural video capturing Belgrade vibe in under 20mins, you’re really nailed it. Others tend to over-edit their videos and add unnecessary music that completely changes the perspective.
Cheers, you’ve got a new sub!
P.S.
Next time you should visit the New Belgrade and Zemun as well.
Thanks a lot pal. Glad to hear I nailed it. This video was my second day there. I stayed two more days after that. I liked it more each day i was there 👍
I'll definitely go back so will check those places out
❤❤serbia❤❤🇷🇸
What a great clip mate, very nice little documentary. You’re capturing Belgrade with a positive attitude. 🇷🇸
Thanks Christian. Best comment I can get is from someone from Belgrade or that's been and says I captured what it's really like so I'm glad to hear it 😉👍
@@PaulTheIrishPainter I’ve been there many times, and I know the city quite well. Young Serbs are really outgoing, and if go there with positive attitude you will make lots of new friends.
You know why Serbians feel a connection to the Irish? Because Belgrade and a lot of the surrounding areas including the city of Sofia were Celtic cities. Tara mountain in Serbia is from the same name Tara in Ireland. The Danube was named by the Celts, one of dozens of rivers they named throughout Europe, many with that root of "Dan" in it (Don Dan Dn etc. including the Rhine, the Vistula and many others). It isnt odd they also named Danzig or Gdansk and Danmark. People think the Celts were limited to Ireland, but they were all over Europe (not just Iberia). There is a lot of history we are never told about this. It conflicts with someone elses history I am not allowed to say who on this totally controlled site.
Fascinating stuff. I do believe we don't know the real history for so many events. Most of what we learn here is under the British educational system
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Its the same way in most western countries. Actually the original Brits were Celts lol.
Looking wonderful places there sending my support keep safe always
Thanks pal 👍
Nice videos Paul! I just discovered your account.
We've got similar interests. I am going to Moldova again next month.
Keep it up!
Thanks mate. Lucky you going to Moldova again next month. Enjoy Andy's pizza while you're there 😉
Love your enthusiasm and respect mate. I hope that you enjoyed.
I loved it pal I can't wait to go back and see more
Great video Paul. You bring your inherent Dublin wit to it which is great.
On a separate note, did the violin music the buskers were playing remind anyone else of the Fawlty Towers theme music?
Thanks David I'm glad to hear it. Some friends said I should show more of my Dublin side as I'm toning it down for the videos 😉.
I can't remember the Fawlty Tower music myself. Will have to look that up 👍
8 months later, I am still very amazed with your videos! :)
Thanks so much. I'm sorry im only seeing this comment now. I just edited a new vlog and have all these unread comments I never replied to 🤦
Superb mate, nearly at that 1k mark! Well in
Cheers Muffin. I'm not quitting the painting just yet 😂
Great place, was there about 5 years ago for work.... Nice lively place, young population.. all the women.. amazing... and it's so cheap! Defo worth a long weekend... no Guinness 😀
Definitely a great spot for a weekend. Great Guinness in the three carrots Irish pub I should have mentioned in the video
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Just have to wait for Ryanair to have direct flights from Dublin before I’d go back 😀
@@Dubnside I'll be on the first flight 😂
But there is better black beer Niksicko... Much better then Guinness
Woooow Prelepo church 🤩🇷🇸🌞👏👍Gruß aus Frankfurt
We're just able to go to Kalamegdan Park last February 5 because it was so cold with the chilling wind of -4 degrees centigrade ...
Wauuuu beautiful💓🤔🇦🇹
Awsome video 😮
Thanks pal 👍
Damn you missed the best part of the Church of Saint Sava - the crypt..
Only learning about this now. Absolutely kicking myself I didn't see it 🤦🏻♂️
When I came back to Serbia after immigrating to the US after living in Serbia I went to the Kalemegdan fortress with my mothers friends son who is 16 and he led me around their and a few days later my family along with a couple of my cousins family went to the zoo you were at in the video
Sounds like a nice return. I hear Belgrade is getting so much nicer year by year. I hope that's true. The bar at Kalemegdan was so cool
@@PaulTheIrishPainter yep, I’m not sure if you’ve visited Novi Beograd (New Belgrade) but it’s a very urban place that has a lot of people and some really awesome places there!
It pronounce like Skadar+Lia name with Turkish "Lia" suffix which usually means place, it's Bohemian quart that name came from "Skadarska Ulica" which means "Skadar street" ( Skadar = town in North Albania in medieval times it was Serbian and it's mentioned in serbian epic songs many times as Serbian founded).
Thanks for the info I appreciate it 👍
13:17 Hahahhahaha I laughed so hard at this :D
Its not like that, its just really not common to see people in Serbia walking around and filming themselves, it was more like "Ah, a tourist."
Im glad that you had a nice time and that you liked Serbia, I have plans to go to Ireland as well, we are very similar by mentality but Irish are lots more stubborn and that really means stubborn. :D
I believe he didn't think that but I thought it would give ppl a bit of a laugh 😉. You're right about the Irish and Serbs having a similar mentality. That became very clear to me very fast. I wish I could video every encounter but of course thats impossible. Literally from the second I arrived, the border control guy was such a cool bloke and was happy and surprised to meet an Irishman walking over the border. I reckon very few iriah people have been to Serbia. No doubt that will change in the coming years I'm sure of it 👍😉
Another great and funny vid. Have a good Xmas my man and thanks for the vids this year. Here's to you reaching 1k subs in 2022 and getting you some beer money for your travels next year 👍 🍾
Thanks a lot pal I really appreciate your support 👍👍👍
Belgrade is a real historical Vavilon !!!
Sure is. I didn't even know about the Celts there. Orthodox Celts makes a lot more sense now 😉
Looks amazing Paul. Gorgeous women and great nightlife. Why would you ever leave? 😂
You make a very good point Anto. I'll definitely go back. Would be great to go with a couple of mates 😉
Yeah, Clarence Clemons... Great Sax player, played with Boss. R.I.P.
Glad someone noticed and is a fan. You probably know his son took his place as the E street's sax player 👍
@@PaulTheIrishPainter Yep, kid is great too... But, Clarence was somebody special. Street fighter and great musician. Splendid couple in one Person.
Prelepo🤗💞
Good point, get your act together hehe (I am from Belgrade and agree 100%
OK, first you are very well informed about things, and with travellers and vlogers claiming to know things, it's usually not the case. Second, your pronunciation of Serbian is so accurate and easy, that it's amassing.
Thanks so much I'm glad to hear that. I'm very sorry I'm only seeing this comment now. I just logged back in to edit a vlog and have lots of comments I missed 🤦
Nice vlog Paul. Belgrade looks an interesting city.
It really is! Thanks for the comment
you're welcome - keep up the great work@@PaulTheIrishPainter
Wow, look this view :) 09:53
Dobro došli u serbia🤗🤩🤩
Belgrade means white city or white town because the Celts called it "Singhi Dun", meaning something like "White fort". (Like Dun Laoghaire). You're on the grounds of your ancestors, potentially :)
Greetings from a Serb from South Dublin. Hope the Craic's 90 while you're there
Now I know where the Orthodox Celts got their name from 😉. Thanks pal I loved Belgrade. Didn't get a chance to travel around but I'll go back at some stage. I hope the Irish treat you as well as the Serbs treat the Irish 👍
