As I have to find nice routes for my Homepoatela “pilgrimage”, I decided to do the ultimate #LindyWalk in Belgrade, which not only connects the city’s most famous Orthodox chruches, but also some awesome parks
Let’s go, shall we?

I satred at St Alexander Nevsky church in Dorćol and followed Dušanova street to the Fortress and Kalemegdan park up to Ružica Church and St Petka chapel and spring...

A walk through the fortress on a sunny morning is perfect as you get the best views all for yourself

Then I went past St Michael’s, the Patriarch’s Palace and Poncess Ljubica’s Palace to Branko’s bridge, past sleepy, cobbled Kosančićev venac

The it was under the bridge and its impressive staircase to Gavrilo Princip street...

Then you go past the new monumental statue of Stefan Nemanja and the pld Railway station towards the historic Ascension chruch

Then I went though some of my favourite Belgrade streets - Njegoševa, Knjeginje Zorke and Svetog Save towards St Sava’s Church

A few more of my favourite pre WWII buildings...

Then it’s past the small St Sava’s Chruch, the huge New Church and the National Library in ethno-modern style towards Katanićeva

Again, a bit of Vračar walking towards Belgrade’s prettiest street: Krunska

Krunska has some of the best mansions in the city, although some are very delapidated

After Krunska I took Kumanovska towards the old Carnegie-funded University Library and the National Archives

Then it’s via the old Tašmajdan park - which used to be a stone quarry and a cemetery - to my beloved St Mark’s parish church and the Russian Orthodox Holy Trinity church, which holds the remains of Pyotr Wrangel, the leader of White Russian forces

Finally, it’s past our grand National Assembly building and the old palatial Telegraph and Postal Ministry buildings in Palmotićeva

The whole walk is about 12km and really takes you through some of the best streets in the city. Ideal for light strolling in Spring and Autumn mornings...
