Savalamala done differently!
moncic, Feb 2020
I signed up some friends from abroad and decided to join myself. I'm glad I did! So many stories I didn't know, seeing Belgrade and Savamala with fresh eyes. A most sincere recommendation!
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you, thank you! We hope to have you and your guests on our other tours.
Impressive yet cool: gives you an insider feel

I was amazed to see so much inside just one quarter. If I have to pick a name for it I would say: Fascinating Contrasts! Unique to Belgrade, Savamala is the hype place to be in, and Xenia was the right guide to explore it with. From palaces to alleys, it's a fantastic mishmash that stuck with me for days after the tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2019

Savamala private tour
Marko-verus, Oct 2018
I had friends wine lovers visiting from Norway. As I know that Walking Belgrade has good taste in wine, I decided to book them to show Belgrade's trendy Savamala neighborhood to my friends. It turned out to be a great experience for me as well! The Norwegians were impressed with the buzz of Savamala and its clubs, restaurants and street art. And I was impressed with all the old architecture and history, that I have not noticed nor understood before!
Response from Host, Oct 2018
Many thanks, Marko! We're so glad we had you and your friends strolling Savamala with us. It's always a discovery to revisit Belgrade neighborhoods with travelers from abroad and locals. Not to mention the pleasure of having those wine conversations along. Thank you!
Itinerary
Manak's House (Manakova kuca)
We start in front of the oldest building in the neighborhood. Its oriental shape and facade is a rare trace of how Belgrade looked like until the mid 19th century.
And its function was telling of the spirit and the future of the Savamala quarter.
15 minutesWe get inside the hidden yard that is full with street art, made by local and international artists.
Here we understand Savamala in 2000ies. How the local creatives revived the quarter that was neglected in the second half of 20th century.
Strolling the street further, we face the grandiose building of Belgrade Cooperative from 1907. A different view and a different story opens up for us.
15 minutesWe'll observe the square surrounding the building and admire its art nouveau architecture from the early 20th century. This was the quarter where the wealthiest and the most influential people of that time build their palaces.
Inside the Belgrade Loan Cooperative building you'll be amazed with its interiors, still keeping the original safe vaults and decoration.
There is another angle to this story. Inside the building, you'll also see the model of the development planned for Sava waterfront in Belgrade, that is sparking the constant debate.
30 minutesWe'll inspect the club street. You'll find out how the first of these clubs started some 10 years ago and see more street art.
More importantly, you'll find out where to go for which kind of party.
15 minutesYou'll enjoy a short walk by the river Sava.
There's more of neighborhood's history to see to your right.
Amateur fishermen and locals taking it easy by the river.
And there is a greenery and modernist architecture of New Belgrade to your left, across the river.
In the end we reach Beton Hala, the finale of our tour. Once the warehouse of the commercial port, now it is the hottest gastro zone in Belgrade.
Diverse cuisines and people meet here, both guests and locals. Brunch, lunch, coffee, cocktail, dinner, night party or just a walk by - it's all quite entertaining and tastes good.
