Your journey begins at Republic Square, the bustling heart of Belgrade, at 10:00 AM. From here, we’ll head to the Dorćol neighborhood, where coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual. You’ll experience the Serbian way of enjoying coffee, where it’s about savoring the moment and sharing a lively conversation. Sip on a strong, perfectly brewed cup, and if you love it, you can take some beans home as a reminder of this local tradition.
Bajlonijeva Pijaca
Once you're energized, we’ll wander through Bajloni Market, one of the oldest and most vibrant green markets in Belgrade. Here, you’ll get a true taste of the city’s culinary diversity, with fresh ingredients that form the backbone of Serbian cuisine. Along the way, we’ll stop at a bakery for some freshly made bruschetta - perfectly paired with a selection of local cheeses you’ll taste at the market.
LUNCH INCLUDED: Extended tour includes lunch at the restaurant.

We started our tour with a relaxing (and much needed!) coffee break where we had domestic coffee. Our guide, Katarina, was very personable (we felt like she was like a family member or close friend!) and answered all our questions about Serbian culture and daily life. We then went to a nearby bakery to sample some traditional baked goods (and bureks) and then visited a pastry shop for some fresh cakes and lemonade. We ended our tour with an 8-course lunch with incredibly creative and delicious representations of the new Balkan cuisine. We highly recommend this tour to future visitors!

Jelena was a wonderful guide. She had a lot of great insights about life in Belgrade and how Serbians like to enjoy food. We went first to a coffee shop for some traditional coffee, then to the local market for some great tastings. After that we had some sweet pastries baklava at a bakery. The las stop was at the Iris restaurant where I had a eight course small bites lunch. It was delicious and the wine pairings where excellent. The best part of the tour was learning from what Jelena had to tell. She was incredibly nice and open to all kind of questions. A highly recommended experience

This trip is an absolute must. Our guide Jelena from Serbia Tours was simply fantastic. She met us at our hotel and took us on a walking tour of Belgrade to see the sights and sounds of local markets and cafes which we would not have discovered on our own. Great tasting experiences - local coffee, pastries, cakes, breads and drinks and in the market, cheeses, honey, fruit, nuts and meats. Brilliant. Don't eat too much however as the best is yet to come.
We were whisked to the other side of town and a hidden gem ! Restaurant Iris. What an amazing experience. 8 course menu prepared before our eyes to introduce us to New Balkan Cuisine. Wow wow wow. Go and find this place. Off the beaten track and one flight up a staircase that takes you to what at face value appears to be a residential apartment. It was and is now a restaurant with minimal decor so that guests can only concentrate on the amazing dishes that are presented to you throughout the visit. THREE WORDS..GO GO GO !
Can not recommend enough ! Such a brilliant experience. You will not be disappointed. Jelena ate with us and provided us with lots of information about the city, its culture and history. She also provided amazing tips for the rest of our time in Belgrade. This trip is a MUST.
