The Kolarac Foundation, housed in a splendid building that also serves as the People's University, has been a bastion of knowledge, culture, and music since its construction in 1932. Its Music Centre is a key promoter of musical culture in Belgrade, with the Concert Hall hosting over 250 concerts annually. The Foundation's lectures and programmes are dedicated to the promotion and popularisation of culture, science, and art. By offering a diverse array of events, it nurtures both its own cultural identity and that of other nations, thereby contributing to the development of a culture of awareness.

This is an ideal place to take a break from the buzz of the city. The park, which was created in 1869, features around 100 species of trees and bushes, and also comprises a 4800 square-metre large botanical garden and a greenhouse containing 150 different plants.

Skadarlija, an old bohemian quarter of Belgrade, is alive 24/7. The neighbourhood arose during the 19th century, with a large number of inns (called "kafana"), and since then has been a gathering spot of the most renowned personalities in Belgrade. It is frequently compared to the Montmartre of Paris, both in appearance and atmosphere. In all the inns, a visitor can taste typical Serbian food, drink local wines and listen to live traditional music till the early morning hours. Skadarlija restaurants have hosted many celebrities over the decades, such as Alfred Hitchcock, Jimi Hendrix, Josip Broz Tito, King Juan Carlos I of Spain, chess player Anatoly Karpov and many others. Best known kafanas are Šešir moj (This old hat of mine), Tri šešira (Three Hats), Dva jelena (Two Deer), Zlatni bokal (The Golden Chalice), Ima dana (There will be days) and Dva bela goluba (Two White Doves). The present Skadarlija, a short and curved street, is a remarkable Belgrade tourist attraction. Since 1993, the official opening of the summer season in Skadarlija has been marked by rising a "bohemian flag". The ceremony is always attended by celebrities, including popular and opera singers, actors, and artists.
