Belgrade is one of Europe's most underrated capital cities, one which Rough Guides identified in its top 10 cities for 2015, describing it as “one of the unexpected high points on any European itinerary“. Located on the confluence of two rivers, the Danube and the Sava, Belgrade's cityscape successfully mixes history with contemporary chic.
