Belgrade is not one of those monumental and polished travel destinations such as Paris, London or Rome. Nevertheless, you'll soon come to realize that the city with its somewhat dilapidated buildings, relatively scarce archaeological and historical monuments and two rivers most unprofitably used can be very charming. These are qualities you must see to believe.
Belgrade is not, as some obdurate critics used to object, the moodiest of all the capital cities in the Balkans, either. Quite the contrary: Serbs generally and Belgrade residents particularly are open, friendly and direct. Even after having suffering under international sanctions and anti-Serb sentiments in the West, they are incredibly hospitable and warm to foreigners, and sometimes generous to the extreme. You must see to believe.
Nor is Belgrade a very good example of a patriarchal, old-fashioned and melancholic community. The past and the present are curiously interwoven here, where east and west mingle. Its practical tolerance has made it a cosmopolitan city. Belgrade has always been tolerant of foreign influences, ideas, novelties and life styles, though its citizens are homely, fond and unobtrusive. As for the reputed spirit of melancholy, if you succeed in feeling it at all, it is not because of Belgrade's present anxieties, only because of some old regrets.
