Hidden Places Belgrade 1.0.1

Are you planning a trip to Belgrade? Consider using the Hidden Places Belgrade app, a complimentary mobile resource designed to enhance your exploration of the city’s diverse neighborhoods.

The app offers an informative walking tour of Savamala, one of Belgrade’s most historically significant districts. As you follow the provided map, you will discover the rich history and evolution of this area, which is renowned for its vibrant cultural scene.

Savamala is among the city's oldest quarters, originally established outside the confines of Belgrade Fortress. Its proximity to the central train and bus stations makes it one of the first neighborhoods visitors encounter. Historically, it served as a bustling center of activity, but following the relocation of the pedestrian zone to Knez Mihailova Street, Savamala transitioned into an industrial district. Today, it has undergone a transformation into a sought-after social hub, distinguished by its innovative urban design and a plethora of restaurants and bars. The name "Savamala" derives from the Sava River and the Turkish word "mahala," meaning settlement or small town.

The Hidden Places Belgrade app provides insights into lesser-known sites that have shaped the area's history. As you walk through Savamala, unlocking specific locations within the app will display brief narratives and curated historical photographs, offering a deeper understanding of each site. These entries are accessible at any time via the app’s Places list.

The application operates using beacon technology—smart Bluetooth devices installed at key locations—so it is essential to keep Bluetooth enabled on your device during your visit.

We hope you find your experience in Belgrade rewarding and memorable!
