Moskva Hotel Belgrade

Boutique hotel a short walk from Kalemegdan fortress, with an 18-metre heated saltwater pool, family and connecting rooms, and kids' meals.

Serbian folk costumes with rich embroidery, old tools and household things, with craft workshops for kids in weaving, pottery and embroidery.

The city's oldest kafana, in a house from 1823, serving slow-cooked Serbian dishes like sarma and grilled meats, with tables outside.

Serbian food with a modern twist (ćevapi, stuffed peppers, ajvar) on a terrace shaded by red umbrellas strung across the street.

Science and technology museum with a hands-on physics area just for kids, old Yugoslav cars and a gallery of toys from 1920 to 1970.

Every visit is a guided tour where real Tesla coils throw little lightning bolts and fluorescent tubes light up in people's hands with no wires.
