😅😅😅😂🙂😍❤ We are Serbian from Belgrade. My son in low,from juni 2021, is English, they live in England, yet, hm,hm,hm........now I have daubt, about passport.,..they will return together in Serbia in future??!!... 😅😂🙂😍🤣❤
Big Welcome to my Melbournians! There's actually quite a few of us living here now, so if you need anything at all while in Bg, or need someone to show you around, would be more than happy to. George
Hey George, that is awesome to hear! Thanks for letting us know. Hannah actually got stopped by an Aussie the other day cause they recognised her Collingwood beanie. We have just left Belgrade and have gone to Niš for a week. We have a few Belgrade videos coming out over the next couple of weeks. Hope to be back in Belgrade soon, really nice city! Thanks again George :)
Actually, it's a church which they call St Sava temple (Храм Св. Саве), the biggest Orthodox one in the Balkans. It is nearing its completion and is more than worth visiting, including the Crypt.
Nice video. In Serbia in primery schools it is mandatory to learn 2 foreign languages one of them must be english and other can be russian, german, franch depending on school you are going and in Highschool you are aloud to learn one more language like spanich, Italian or even Chinese now. So in Serbia if people speak other languages they are usually polygloths. For Russian Serbian conection they are Slavic languages, Russian being East Slavic and Serbocroatian or Serb, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin (SAME LANGUAGE) is South slavic language. They originated from Old Church Slavonic, slavonic meaning Slavic. Serbian is closer to West Slavic languages like Slovak, Czech then Russian but all slavic languages have over 50 procent of the same words some times with a different meaning. Город=Град, Борода =Брада, Доброе утро=Добро јутро, etc. Fun fact about Serbian is that is only European Language with 2 writings Cyrilic and Latin or Roman. So average kid in 5th grade learned 2 writings systems, and 3 languages on top of other subjects. And in Serbian there are many Turkish words used still. Have fun guys.
You have English from the first grade of elementary school in Serbia, and also movies/series are not dubbed but you always have original language and subtitles so people learn it that way also. Definitely check out Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade if you are interested about that part of our history.
Yes, you're right. English language was and still Is mandatory in every school, High school or university. You cannot avoid english + another foreign language in school.
Thanks for letting us know Djordje. Really impressed with how many people can speak English and seem to be able to be fluent in Russia and German as well from what I've been told. :)
@@thedmitryguy Why would they speak English? They lived in a stabile society and didn't Need to know It. Still an average Serb Is Better in English than an average Italian or a French or a Hungarian
G'day guys, Belgrade airport was the last thing I remember from Europe we took off from there to come to Australia in1975.. Novak has a restaurant in Belgrade, Check it out lol... Take care guys ATB 👍🇦🇺
In general communism is associated with Russia and its partners. However, Yugoslavia was not bounded with Russia and its partners who maintained the iron curtain during the cold war (1947 - 1989). I was able to drive by car from Germany to former parts of Yugoslavia (Slovenia and Croatia) in 1979 without a passport. All I needed to show was my German national ID-card (Personalausweis) and the green insurance certificate for my car.
Hey Gerd, thank you so much for sharing. That sounds like an incredible trip you had. I will continue to research this part of history as I find it very fascinating! :)
Yeap Yugoslavia was never behind iron curtain... Socialist but western ally. FYI former republics are still one of the most tolerant towards foreigners (there is some animosity between us ex-yu citizens but mostly because foreign interests couple of bad apples amongst us and Balkan pigheadedness)... Safety for travelers and people in general in this part of world is better than in most of western countries, although I have to admit that it was way safer before Yugoslavia split up. Nevertheless enjoy your stay here...
I am from Melbourne living in Richmond Church city well you come to Belgrad fantastic City and friendly people and the great outdoors of Sity is the best city
,, Dubai " of Belgrade is the Belgrade waterfront project. I can recomend you to visit it, it has beautiful promenade along side river. It also has biggest shopping mall in south east Europe - Galerija mall. Project will take 15 more years to complete and it will include thorning down some old buildings and the old green bridge ( next year ) New bridge will look much fancier :) Other than that I can recomend you to go to Ada Ciganlija ( Belgrade see ) Man made lake with beaches, restoransts, bars, golf terenains, byke traks and much more. Its of course much better in summer time, but if tgere is sun its still nice for a walk. You can also visit Ada shopping mall and go to roof ( amazing view of the lake and tallest single pylon bridge in the world - Ada bridge ).
To have a sense of new Belgrade you can visit Belvile ( fancy neighborhood with Delta shopping center ) and A-block ( includes restorantes that mostly famous people go ) And you can go To Ušće park ( museum of contemporary art ) and most popular shopping mall Ušće shopping mall
Skadarlija is a MUST - bohemian corner in old Belgrade. Skadarska street is one of the oldest in Europe. You can also check Kosancicev venac, beautiful style architecture with cobblestone road with cafes that overlook river. To go a bit out side the city i can recomend Avala mountain with Avala tower that is more than 200 m tall. Tower has restaurant and last floor is for site seeing. Who Avala area is beautiful for walking with one of the biggest monuments in Serbia ( spomenik neznanom junaku ).
Since you shown interest in history of Jugoslavija, i can recomend house of flowers ( kuca cveća ) with Yugoslavija musieu and Titos grave. Also you can go to Sava Square ( partly open ) still under construction. And of course Temple of Saint Sava - 2 biggest Orthodox church in Europe
Hey thank you so much for all your recommendations, we really appreciate it. I have taken a screenshot so I remember these, we have filmed a few videos and we are now in Niš. We will be coming back to Belgrade very soon. The museum of Yugoslavia and House of Flowers are going to be 2 of the things we see when we come back. Saint Sava Temple was beautiful, one of the most incredible buildings I've ever set foot in. I will need to check out both of these shopping malls as well. Thanks again! :)
Hello from Serbian living in Australia. It's great to see you in Belgrade and thanks for this video. I plan on going soon to visit family. Hope you enjoyed your stay. If you visit in summer, it's more alive on the streets and more green. I usedto live in Belgrade before moving to Australia with family long time ago. So I'm familiar with the Kalemegdan park and the main street too. I hope you enjoyed Serbian food and that your overall experience was good. 🇷🇸🇦🇺❤️
It was nice to see my faculty of mathematics in the background of your intro when you were walking through Student's park... I hope you are enjoying your stay. I don't know how long you are planing to stay, but I really hope you will be there at least until Serbian New Year, January 14th. Also, try to visit few other cities, like Novi Sad, Smedervo, Valjevo, Kragujevac... Have fun!
Hello Darko, thanks for sharing what that building is! We are definitely planning on staying til the new year, hope to see some other cities as well. We are in Niš right now! :)
Hey nice video, dont be dissapointed if not seeing a snow at all, unpredictable, last year it was maybe few days with snow so it can be very boring winter with rainy periods but advantage can be lots of sunny days like in this video. And there are also years with lots of snow that lasts over a month mostly in jan. or feb. Anyway winter can be boring a bit but i love it because it slows down people for rest because in summer people rarely visit their homes and it can last long since april to november sometimes, i remember swimming in Ada lake in middle october.
Hello, Thank You!! Yes, unfortunately for us we know it may not snow on Christmas. We really love the cold days where we can go for a walk with a blue sky and sun. Thanks again for letting us know! :)
Just have on mind that Serbians celebrate Christmas at January 7th following Eastern Orthodox Church calendar. December 25th is just a regular day. However you can still celebrate a New Year which is a great holiday in Serbia.
Hey Milos, yes we checked this before we came. Really happy about this as we won't be seeing family or friends this Christmas so glad it will be a regular day! :)
Take your eye off you two for a second and you’ve changed country! Thanks for the first impressions of Belgrade. It looks to be a beautiful city. Watch out for the squirrels - they are cheeky little b**tards! Looking forward to more of your Serbian adventures. 🍻
Oh wow Hannah I didn’t know you were gluten free! I’m not celiac but I have an intolerance so I was 100% gluten free for 6ish years and now am only at home and eat it in moderation when I travel Good to know you found g free food there 😊
Yeah I've been a celiac for about 6 years! It's hard travelling with because I get so so sick if I accidentally eat gluten so I try to avoid eating out just incase! Thats so good you can eat in moderation while travelling! America is pretty good with gluten free too aren't they? I recommend Serbia for Gluten free food!
I was there in September 2021, I agree with the part about the PCR tests etc, they did not check it for me, I never experienced the police part tbh I was in and out with no issues or interviews. Also on the taxi front, I would call a firm called pink taxi they used to operate out of the airport but covid saw that put on hold, apparently, they are coming back again supposedly this year. When you were at the fort that exact spot at @11:15 is beautiful at 6am I took my fiancee there and we sat watching the sunrise with breakfast from lulu's bakery
Beautiful video. Thanks for making it. As for the lady who says nobody knows about Serbia or nobody goes there or people are mixing it with Siberia: most people heard about Serbia, Nikola Tesla, Novak Djokovic, serbian athletes and many foreign tourists do come to Serbia. And no educated people are mixing Serbia with Siberia. May her stay there in Bodrum, she does not need to come back. Waiting for your new videos guys. Visit Novi sad, it's more beautuful than Belgrade. Visit Kraljevo, Niš, Zlatibor, Kopaonik... Cheers
Yeah I was definitely surprised when she said that. Novak has definitely put it on the map for everyone. We have lots of Belgrade videos to come, we have been in Niš this week. Loving it here! :)
Russian and Serbian aren’t really similar to the point people can spontaneously communicate without preparations. You need to get used to the sound of another language and learn at least some basics and key differences. There are also quite a few false friends (same word, different meaning).
Thanks for sharing Daniel, appreciate it! Ah yes, heard about false friends from some Ukrainians when I asked them about the difference between their language and Russian :)
I recommend you to visit the cities of Noi Sad and Subotica or Sombor, you will like it. Belgrade celebrates the Happy New Year every year on December 31st, a big festival in the city center and on Sava Promende.
In Yugoslavia at least in 80s in school you would chouse betwen English or Russian..in cities most would chouse English..now everyone sin school learns English + other langue you chouse (now German and Spanish are popular)
@Hannah Gordon As an austrian border police officer, I can tell you the reason for the questioning: At the moment it happens on all the incoming flights from cities that offer direct connections from southern Africa region (because of Omicron virus coming from there). So this is not a Serbia special and it has nothing to do with you being Australian. Enjoy.
Let me explain you what happened on the airport. Because you were arriving from Turkey a lot of immigrants have fake passports and they are trying to determine if you are lie about the true coming to Serbia. The jails are quite full of those ppl. But if you arriving from another destination you wouldn't experience that, you can check out on different YT videos, they are saying that no one asked them anything, just give them a passport and they stamp it and say welcome to Serbia.
I have been told that Australians that have trouble with wheat based products may find that European wheat based products may be less of a problem. Australian wheat is a drought tolerant type that is slightly different in its composition, I believe. For some wheat intolerant people it may make no difference.
Hannah wants white christmas... but because of global warming we have snow only in the end of januray for about three or five days .I dont remember touching snow since 2007 or 2008...
Thanks for watching as always! Yes we've got a few more tradition travel vlogs coming up. Not sure why we've done the walking style the last few videos lol! Hope you are well :)
Fun fact... If you're interested about history.. You are right in the middle of it. Lol. History is literally all around you in Serbia.. First world war, second world war.. Roman empire maybe, or medieval times? Bronze age or recent civil war? NATO bombing maybe?.. We have it all. 😁
Hello Ogi! Yes that is very true, we have filmed a few videos since this one. So much history to explore, our video tomorrow is about the last thing you mentioned! So much to learn about! :)
@@hgworldtour hi... Well, I hope that you'll find some time to explore Serbia cos Serbia is much more than Belgrade. One day trips will be enough for exploring cos everything is close to Belgrade. My recommendation for you is to visit mideval fortresses on river Danube, Smederevo, Ram, Golubac fortresses, also while you are in Belgrade you can visit museums, Nikola Tesla museum, museums of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Saint Sava temple, military museum in Kalemegdan fortress.. If you want more recommendations , just ask and name it.. We have it all. 😁
Hey again Ogi, yes we will definitely be exploring more cities in Serbia. Love how close everything is! Love how much history is here, will be here for a while so hope to see as much as possible! :)
Serbia is the cradle of European civilization, see Lepenski Vir and Vinca, we had first metallurgy and letter, all white Europeans originate from us, also Troy was ours, Homer (Iliad, Odyssey) was old Serb, Greeks stole everything from us, they came later from Egypt on our land, once we had the biggest land, but everyone attacks us, because we stay in Truth, so we now have this small Serbia
Airport is sorta in a ruff state for some reason.Constantly inconsistant some is due to construction going on,then cosntant changes in some things we dont know about.But what ive gathered from looking at videos it seems that there might be some internal managment problems within the company that runs the airport being all over the place in past 3-4 months where one week everything is fine and dany then the other its chaos,then another week its all smoot then the week after they are all over the place all inconsistant.Also the service on certain crafts went downhill suddenly for some reason as well.Even in those most consistent crafts for some reason even they became inconsistant.Its like in few months they been bombarded with inconsistency curse.I might be wrong but something deffinetly is happening that all of a sudden airport managment and quality lvl in certain crafts just in few months went downhill realy fast.
Thanks for sharing Goran, I have read that there is a big reconstruction going on at the Airport in Belgrade and it will be much bigger and more modern in the coming years. Will be interesting to keep an eye on! :)
They are worried about becoming a new Belarus, because of the big mess on their border with Poland. Those people arrived in Belarus by plane with a plan to walk over the EU border. Usually they are more chill about people coming to the country.
We saw a bit of this news on a lot of the screens around Istanbul Airport, I was wondering if that is why it was quite strict. They didn't really care about us because we had Australian passports. Thanks for your comment :)
too bad you will not be in Serbia for Orthodox Xmas Eve which is on January 6th. It is much different celebration more traditional with bonfires, boiled rakija alcohol etc
Really enjoying it in Belgrade, so hope to stick around for January, the bonfire looks very interesting so we might go to that. Thanks for letting us know! :)
I dont think you will get the white winter in Serbia (not anymore).Last few years it is a miracle to have the snow in november,december period.Maybe IF LUCKY you get it in january,febuary but even that is questionable.I remmemebr as a kid sometimes it snowed preaty hard even in avgust,september,octomber.Then overtime it stopped or like if lucky get 2/3 times just small amount of snow fallig in intervals.Then for teh last liek 3-4 years or so we sometime s(in certain parts of Serbia) dont even get snow at all and if lucky we get it onc eor twice in like febuary.Now the only so to say way to get any snow is if you are in Zlatibor/Kopaonik.There you have much higehr chances of getting atleas some snow.
Hello Goran! Thanks for the heads up, at least the Christmas markers aren't cancelled here so even if there's no snow it will be nice to have a proper Christmas in winter! Thanks, will look up these other places :)
unlike ex Soviets, Poland, Hungary, Czech/Slovak, Germany or Italy foreign movies and tv program here are never dubbed. Yugoslavian and now Serbian people listen English through entire life. You don't even have to learn it at school to be fluent in English

Thank you Vlada! :)
Welcome to Belgrade and enjoy 🇷🇸💪
Thank you Nikola! So excited to be here! :)
We were not part of Soviet block, neither SSSR. That’s why were learning English in Grammar schools back in 70’s.
Thanks for letting us know Pera! :)

we took off from there to come to Australia in1975..
Novak has a restaurant in Belgrade,

Take care guys ATB 👍🇦🇺

Thanks for letting us know, fingers crossed if not hopefully in January! :)
Right, cyrillic languages aren't simple. But alphabet isn't that difficult -- just a little bit confusing for English-speakers.

🥰❤🇷🇸
Beautiful video. Thanks for making it.
As for the lady who says nobody knows about Serbia or nobody goes there or people are mixing it with Siberia: most people heard about Serbia, Nikola Tesla, Novak Djokovic, serbian athletes and many foreign tourists do come to Serbia. And no educated people are mixing Serbia with Siberia.
May her stay there in Bodrum, she does not need to come back.
Waiting for your new videos guys. Visit Novi sad, it's more beautuful than Belgrade. Visit Kraljevo, Niš, Zlatibor, Kopaonik... Cheers
Yeah I was definitely surprised when she said that. Novak has definitely put it on the map for everyone. We have lots of Belgrade videos to come, we have been in Niš this week. Loving it here! :)
@@hgworldtour Cool. Enjoy your time :)
Russian and Serbian aren’t really similar to the point people can spontaneously communicate without preparations.
You need to get used to the sound of another language and learn at least some basics and key differences.
There are also quite a few false friends (same word, different meaning).
Thanks for sharing Daniel, appreciate it! Ah yes, heard about false friends from some Ukrainians when I asked them about the difference between their language and Russian :)
I recommend you to visit the cities of Noi Sad and Subotica or Sombor, you will like it.
Belgrade celebrates the Happy New Year every year on December 31st,
a big festival in the city center and on Sava Promende.
Thank you for your recommendations Zivoslav! We hope to be in Belgrade for New Years, looking forward to it! :)
In Yugoslavia at least in 80s in school you would chouse betwen English or Russian..in cities most would chouse English..now everyone sin school learns English + other langue you chouse (now German and Spanish are popular)
Thanks for letting us know, yes we've been very impressed by how many languages so many people can speak. Thanks for sharing :)
@Hannah Gordon
As an austrian border police officer, I can tell you the reason for the questioning:
At the moment it happens on all the incoming flights from cities that offer direct connections from southern Africa region (because of Omicron virus coming from there). So this is not a Serbia special and it has nothing to do with you being Australian. Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing Dejan! :)
noice, i demand more videos, enjoy
Thank you Igor! More videos coming :)
Let me explain you what happened on the airport. Because you were arriving from Turkey a lot of immigrants have fake passports and they are trying to determine if you are lie about the true coming to Serbia. The jails are quite full of those ppl. But if you arriving from another destination you wouldn't experience that, you can check out on different YT videos, they are saying that no one asked them anything, just give them a passport and they stamp it and say welcome to Serbia.
I have been told that Australians that have trouble with wheat based products may find that European wheat based products may be less of a problem. Australian wheat is a drought tolerant type that is slightly different in its composition, I believe. For some wheat intolerant people it may make no difference.
Thank you for letting us know, very interesting!!
Hannah wants white christmas... but because of global warming we have snow only in the end of januray for about three or five days .I dont remember touching snow since 2007 or 2008...
Hey by the way we want to see your travel Day videos and we would like to see where you are staying too
Thanks for watching as always! Yes we've got a few more tradition travel vlogs coming up. Not sure why we've done the walking style the last few videos lol! Hope you are well :)
Nice video 👌👍... what you travel with?
Thanks for the kind words Ivan! I don't think I understand your question, we flew with Turkish Airlines, travel with backpacks and each other? lol :)
You have a radio voice
👍🏻🌼🌸
Fun fact... If you're interested about history.. You are right in the middle of it. Lol. History is literally all around you in Serbia.. First world war, second world war.. Roman empire maybe, or medieval times? Bronze age or recent civil war? NATO bombing maybe?.. We have it all. 😁
Hello Ogi! Yes that is very true, we have filmed a few videos since this one. So much history to explore, our video tomorrow is about the last thing you mentioned! So much to learn about! :)
@@hgworldtour hi... Well, I hope that you'll find some time to explore Serbia cos Serbia is much more than Belgrade. One day trips will be enough for exploring cos everything is close to Belgrade. My recommendation for you is to visit mideval fortresses on river Danube, Smederevo, Ram, Golubac fortresses, also while you are in Belgrade you can visit museums, Nikola Tesla museum, museums of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Saint Sava temple, military museum in Kalemegdan fortress.. If you want more recommendations , just ask and name it.. We have it all. 😁
Hey again Ogi, yes we will definitely be exploring more cities in Serbia. Love how close everything is! Love how much history is here, will be here for a while so hope to see as much as possible! :)
Serbia is the cradle of European civilization, see Lepenski Vir and Vinca, we had first metallurgy and letter, all white Europeans originate from us, also Troy was ours, Homer (Iliad, Odyssey) was old Serb, Greeks stole everything from us, they came later from Egypt on our land, once we had the biggest land, but everyone attacks us, because we stay in Truth, so we now have this small Serbia
I thought that squirrel was going to climb into your pocket!
LOL
Airport is sorta in a ruff state for some reason.Constantly inconsistant some is due to construction going on,then cosntant changes in some things we dont know about.But what ive gathered from looking at videos it seems that there might be some internal managment problems within the company that runs the airport being all over the place in past 3-4 months where one week everything is fine and dany then the other its chaos,then another week its all smoot then the week after they are all over the place all inconsistant.Also the service on certain crafts went downhill suddenly for some reason as well.Even in those most consistent crafts for some reason even they became inconsistant.Its like in few months they been bombarded with inconsistency curse.I might be wrong but something deffinetly is happening that all of a sudden airport managment and quality lvl in certain crafts just in few months went downhill realy fast.
Thanks for sharing Goran, I have read that there is a big reconstruction going on at the Airport in Belgrade and it will be much bigger and more modern in the coming years. Will be interesting to keep an eye on! :)
serbia has a history
It sure does! :)
They are worried about becoming a new Belarus, because of the big mess on their border with Poland.
Those people arrived in Belarus by plane with a plan to walk over the EU border.
Usually they are more chill about people coming to the country.
We saw a bit of this news on a lot of the screens around Istanbul Airport, I was wondering if that is why it was quite strict. They didn't really care about us because we had Australian passports. Thanks for your comment :)
too bad you will not be in Serbia for Orthodox Xmas Eve which is on January 6th. It is much different celebration more traditional with bonfires, boiled rakija alcohol etc
Really enjoying it in Belgrade, so hope to stick around for January, the bonfire looks very interesting so we might go to that. Thanks for letting us know! :)
@@hgworldtour even better outside of belgrade. many street corners has bonfires on their own, very friendly and crazy vibe
This days is an influx of migration from the Middle East, so they are checking a bit, so nothing to worry about.
I dont think you will get the white winter in Serbia (not anymore).Last few years it is a miracle to have the snow in november,december period.Maybe IF LUCKY you get it in january,febuary but even that is questionable.I remmemebr as a kid sometimes it snowed preaty hard even in avgust,september,octomber.Then overtime it stopped or like if lucky get 2/3 times just small amount of snow fallig in intervals.Then for teh last liek 3-4 years or so we sometime s(in certain parts of Serbia) dont even get snow at all and if lucky we get it onc eor twice in like febuary.Now the only so to say way to get any snow is if you are in Zlatibor/Kopaonik.There you have much higehr chances of getting atleas some snow.
Hello Goran! Thanks for the heads up, at least the Christmas markers aren't cancelled here so even if there's no snow it will be nice to have a proper Christmas in winter! Thanks, will look up these other places :)
It never snowed in Belgrade in August, September, October...
That first taxi driver is "wilder"illegal taxi probably...
I'm from Belgrade
Beautiful city! :)
@@hgworldtour thanks 😉
unlike ex Soviets, Poland, Hungary, Czech/Slovak, Germany or Italy foreign movies and tv program here are never dubbed. Yugoslavian and now Serbian people listen English through entire life. You don't even have to learn it at school to be fluent in English
Thanks for sharing Colin! :)
Oh unfortunately you might miss on the white Christmas because lately we don't get very cold winters in Serbia, probably because of the global warming
Thanks for letting us know Aleksandar! :)
@@hgworldtour They say this winter will be a bit colder though, so you might get lucky :p
Did you see many guys over 6ft8/2m tall? Heard there was many in Belgrade lol... curious.
Hahaha seen a few tall people, nothing too out of the ordinary! :)
2m=6'6"
Thats actually in Montenegro. Montenegrins are the tallest ppl on Earth. Average height there is 184.7cm...
