Belgrade's main pedestrian and shopping street, running about a kilometre from Republic Square to Kalemegdan Park. Named after Prince Mihailo Obrenović III, it is one of the city's oldest and most valuable landmarks, protected by law since 1964. The street follows the plan of the Roman city of Singidunum, of which it was one of the main roads, and it is lined with elegant mansions and buildings, many from the 1870s, with ornate facades in a range of European styles. Its paved promenade is busy with shops, cafes, bookshops and pastry shops; the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the City Library are here, and street musicians play in the evening. Walking it is free at any hour, and it makes the perfect route to Belgrade Fortress at its far end and to the nearby Skadarlija quarter. Evening is the best time, when it fills with strollers and lights.
