Arriving in Belgrade, I'm eager to explore its famous nightlife.
- This nightclub is famous because it's situated inside a church. - Da, da, it was a church, cool.
- Before people could pray... - ...have nightlife in the church.
It is said that Belgrade has the best nightlife in all the Balkan region.
Even some people from the neighbouring Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia come here to spend their weekends.
The range of possibilities go from traditional Skadarlija to the more peculiar boats on the river Sava and Danube,...
...where you can find nearly all types of music, but better, let my local guide explain.
- What kind of nightlife do you have in Belgrade?
- Because it's very famous all over the world and even in the books, guidebooks about Serbia...
...it's the first thing that nightlife you shouldn't miss.
- Yeah, it's exactly like that, I think that it's quite intense in Belgrade I think the best thing...
...is that you have a mixture of everything, you can really choose, whatever you wish you can find in Belgrade,...
...and I think maybe now the most popular places are these boats.
- Boats? - Boat discotheques, yes.
- And you have as well different kinds of discotheques on the boats, you have from rock to turbo folk, for example.
- And what kind of parties personally you prefer, what kind of music?
- Oh, ok, I prefer salsa. - Oh, cool.
- And actually salsa is getting really popular nowadays in Belgrade.
- I advise not to miss Skadarlija, it's a different kind of nightlife in Belgrade, it's traditional one.
- Is this the name of a discotheque, or the region? - No, it's the street, Bohemian street.
- For me that could be really interesting, but of course you should not miss boats.
- It's a special atmosphere there, because it's on the water and you can see a really nice view of Kalemegdan fortress.
- When you are dancing, it's like, you don't have a stable ground. - Yeah, ok, you have many different...
- And especially if you're drunk, it's like it's twice... difficult.
- You have many different kind of boats, so some of them are really small and private, let's say private and not so well secured,...
...but the huge ones for the main parties are really stable, so don't worry, you can even drink as much as you wish.
- Finally I have the opportunity to visit the nightlife in Belgrade, the famous, that everyone's talking about.
- On the boat discotheques you can get an amazing view to the centre, to this Saint Sava Church, to the Danube.
The boats, for those who are curious about how the system works, are not sailing in the river while the party is going on.
The dancing floor is on a lower deck so that the structure can keep stable and normally there are no problems,...
...it is probably the best way to enjoy the party.
Whenever you need a rest, you can come to an upper deck and admire the city night lights and view from the river.
Only one further tip, beware if you are driving because the police gathers at the exit to control the level of alcohol.
