As you walk down the hot streets in slippers, you have the feeling that winter was a long time ago, right? Even spring seems light years away at this point. The long-awaited summer is very much present. It is hot. Almost everything you touch is sticky. A bottle of water and a Labubu keychain are sticking out of every bag.
In mind under a palm tree. With both feet on the ground - in Belgrade. No matter how hot it is, it is good to be in the city. A clear head makes it easier to plan your party. Soak up the next few lines and you will not regret not being at the beach. At least not much.
Summer in Belgrade hasn't even happened if you haven't cooled off at a swimming pool. The top 5 swimming pools in Belgrade are a great choice for quick refreshment. Don't be lazy, walk to the nearest municipality to get a card for free entry to all city pools and cool off for free the whole summer.
Swimming in Ada
Ada Ciganlija is a part of the city that you should not leave on sunny days. Safe, reliable, well-organized, with lots of content for all generations - that's Ada, the sea of the city! Never a copy, forever its own. Like a true Belgrade lady, it always takes care of itself and the impression it leaves.
The promenade is being renovated, the end of the first phase is underway. There are no more fences, and the lake is even closer to pedestrians, cyclists and everyone who knows how nice it is to walk around Ada. You haven't set off towards the magnificent oasis yet? All right, but you know you are missing out on a new swing - a new place to take pictures. Hurry up before everyone discovers an idyllic shot to conquer social media. The swing is located at the beginning of the promenade on the New Belgrade side.
Zemun is calling
Lido is open again! The swimming season at Lido Beach starts on July 1st. The pontoon bridge is available every day from 08:00 to 19:00. Safety will be taken care of by lifeguards and rescue teams and a medical service on duty. The City Municipality of Zemun and the Zemun Tourist Organization know how important the Danube is to everyone, and that is why they made sure to arrange a beach, sand sports fields, drinking water and showers for Lido visitors.
One more reason to relax in natural beauty is the "Summer on Lido" event with a program for all ages. When you are relaxing on Lido, go for dinner at one of the many restaurants on the Zemun Quay. Fish restaurants, romantic restaurants, affordable restaurants, family restaurants and all those that live the Zemun way of life are ready to delight you. All the restaurants on the Zemun Quay are just a click away. Come on, don't let your stomach remain empty with this guide.
In the midst of the summer season, many indoor spaces that are visited are now on vacation. But, that doesn't mean that the entire city is resting. On the contrary. The city's leading events are under the open sky. Arranged in literally every part of the city. It is enough to visit the event calendar once and you will see how much fun Belgrade offers every day. Take the moment to be a guest at events that are only being organized now. It will be a long time until the next edition, why regret it when you have all the information about the events in one place?
July is the loudest
The favorite part of the day is when people dance to the music. The July music program is far more than the usual summer rhythm. Guns N' Roses live at Usce on 18th July is a proof that Belgrade is a world city. The leaders of rock music for decades are arriving in full force. Prepare for the greatest excitement when Axl Rose and Slash stand in front of you. Oh no, they are not coming alone. They will share the stage with the Public Enemy crew.
Billy Idol, the original rock star, returns to the "crime scene". The concert at Kalemegdan is scheduled for Wednesday, July 9th at 20:00. Rebel Yell, White Wedding, Hot In the City and many other hits that fans know and that wake them up in the middle of the night will thunder through the Lower Town. Attendance is mandatory because it is not known when Mr. Billy will confirm his visit to the city again.
And just the day before, another world-famous musical name is performing in the Lower Town area on Kalemegdan - Morrissey. Those with more life experience know him as a member of the iconic band The Smiths. Those a little younger know that he is a solo artist with a distinctive British charm.
Party party
The introduction was good, but here is why you will love July. Browse the party calendar and discover where every party in the city is hiding. If you have been dreaming of dancing under the stars all winter - now is your time! Partying until the morning is a must. As is the powerful energy. All that is left is to get dressed for dancing and share with your friends the beat that Belgrade offers at night.
