Belgrade's famous bohemian quarter, often compared to Montmartre in Paris, centred on the winding cobbled Skadarska Street, less than 400 metres long, which starts just below Republic Square. It has been protected by law since 1967. It keeps the feel of traditional urban architecture, with low houses, painted walls and trees, and since the 19th century it has been a gathering place for poets, artists and actors. After Belgrade Fortress it is the capital's second most visited sight. Traditional taverns, kafanas, line the street with open-air tables, and musicians stroll between them playing folk songs, especially in the evening when the quarter comes alive. Walking around is free, but most restaurants serve Serbian grills that often include pork, and serve alcohol, so ask about ingredients or choose vegetarian dishes if you need halal. Spring and summer evenings are the best time.
