Culture, art and relax in Belgrade: unmissable sights for the perfect holiday

"As the largest Orthodox temple in south-east Europe, this magnificent landmark is said to stand where the Ottoman Turks burned the relics of Saint Sava in the 16th century. Revered for its beauty and symbolism, it impresses with vast proportions (a 3,500 m2 complex crowned by a dome over 30 m in diameter and just under 80 m high) and an interior adorned with intricate stone-and-glass mosaics, including the Vaznesenje Hristovo beneath the central dome; the crypt preserves Saint Sava’s treasures and the tomb of despot Stefan Lazar Hrebeljanović. After a visit, I recommend a walk along the Sava and a meal at one of the typical floating restaurants." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
