    i love how for the foreigners belgrade is the underrated gem of the balkans, but for the balkans its the most popular city

      @@helenastevic1975 That's the exact conversation that my wife and I had about the 'underrated gem' descriptor.
      I was concerned about using terms that locals might find offensive.
      But we went with it because we find it offensive that not nearly enough people give the Balkans their proper attention and due.
      I hope you understand our intention is a good one.

      Heart of the Serbi is not in Belgrade. It's in the South. Western Serbia is glorius with waterways and rivers and foresty mountains. Same goes for Eastern Serbia. Enjoy your stay, relax and don't be afraid to conect with ordinary people.

    Cost of living is sky rocketing, overwhelming inflation for food and rent with useless ever expanding water front that isn't for 99.5% of locals, terrible air pollution, polluted rivers, outdated, inefficient/slow public transit, massive traffic during rush hour, tons of corruption (and lots of protests currently). Some things are hidden for a reason but not because they are a "gem". Easy to be a visitor with rose colored glasses when you don't stay long enough to see the challenges that would encourage you to take them off.

    • @SlowTravelNomads
      @SlowTravelNomads  Місяць тому

      That's a fair point of view for someone who has lived there for quite some time to make.
      As for cost of living and inflation, that's worldwide no matter where you go.
      I would agree that the air quality could be better, but again, we've also been to other places that are way more atrocious than anything Belgrade had going.
      Same with the pubic transport. Other places are way worse than what we experienced in Belgrade.
      So as you have correctly pointed out to me, it's all a matter of perspective and experience in multiple places. I do hope that things find a way to get better for you and others in Belgrade regarding those problems.
