Kalenić Green Market

The market offers a vibrant and authentic glimpse into daily life in Belgrade. This bustling open-air greenmarket brings together people from all walks of life, navigating rows of colorful stalls in a lively and spirited atmosphere. Fresh produce, artisan cheeses, homemade kaymak, wild mushrooms, herbs, natural honey, meats, fish, and handmade goods are found in abundance. Many stalls are run by the farmers themselves, and the difference in quality and flavor is easily noticeable. The tradition of touching, smelling, and sampling the produce adds to the charm of the experience. The dairy hall stands out as a hub for traditional Serbian delicacies such as Užice prosciutto, duvan čvarci, and a wide variety of cheeses made from cow, goat, or ewe milk. Most items are available for tasting, and the cleanliness of the stalls often reflects the quality on offer. During the winter months, the tiled floor can become slippery, so caution is recommended. Fridays bring the widest selection of fresh seafood, with wild and river fish sourced from the Danube and Sava. These offerings are known for their freshness and variety. Surrounding the market are several cafés, bakeries, and specialty shops that round out the experience. Wood-fired bread, traditional burek, and freshly brewed coffee are all within reach, making the neighborhood a pleasant stop for a post-market break. The Market is more than just a place to shop. It is a cultural landmark full of character and community spirit, and remains one of the city’s most cherished gathering spots.

Best market in Belgrade. All types of food. Clothes stalls, kitchen stalls. Butchers, cheese, truffle, fish shops on the edges of the market. Second hand clothes by the street.

Very nice place with lots of things to see and buy

Kalenić Green Market – Lively but Lacking Soul 🌿🛒 Kalenić Market is one of the oldest and liveliest markets in the city, but over time, it has lost some of its charm. While it still has that authentic, bustling energy, it often feels too messy and chaotic, lacking the warmth and uniqueness that make a market truly special. The biggest issue? Too many traders, not enough real producers. A good market thrives on the passion of those who grow and create, yet here, you get the sense that there’s more commerce than connection. Instead of finding hidden gems and handcrafted Serbian specialties, the selection leans more towards generic goods that lack the emotional appeal of true local products. It’s somewhere between a flea market and a proper green market—there’s always something interesting to buy, and it’s never a wasted visit, but it’s also never quite it. Could it be better? Absolutely. With a stronger focus on local farmers, artisans, and authentic Serbian flavors, Kalenić could reclaim its place as a must-visit market. Until then, it remains an almost good experience. tip? fish place, gourme mushrooms and french cheese place Good "burek" just nearby

Kalenic Pijaca is definitely the best market in the city. I used to live just around the corner, and it was always my go-to place for fresh local products, and just overall a great place to visit. The variety of goods is incredible, from fresh fruits and vegetables to meats, cheeses, and spices - you can find just about anything here. Then there are little shops as well where you can buy freshly cooked fish and seafood, meat and drawers. The atmosphere is lively and authentic and that makes it a fantastic spot to experience the local culture, not just to go shopping. Highly recommend it!

This probably has to be one of the most local places that we visited in Belgrade. The freshest stock of vegetables, fruits, meat and flowers were up for sale. There were also regional delicacies, pickled vegetables, juices, jams, meat preparations up for sale. You'll mostly find locals here. Many speak in English, but learning a few Serbian words if you wish to haggle can be super helpful. Carry cash!

Love markets... I bought dried fruit mainly

Love going to the market first thing in the morning to get our favorite peaches, pears and watermelon and smoke meats for the day! What a way of living!
