A COLD BALKAN NATION may not be your first choice for a romantic holiday, but Serbia steals your heart as much as it blows your mind. We realised this shortly after our flight landed in Belgrade. My wife, Priya, and I found ourselves at the beautiful Republic Square. Crowds milled about the bronze equestrian statue of Prince Mihailo Obrenovic III, who famously challenged Ottoman occupation and expelled the Turks from Serbia in 1867. Open-air restaurants spilled onto pavements as we walked hand-in-hand down Knez Mihailova, the cobbled path often described as the most beautiful pedestrian zone in southeastern Europe. The kilometre-long avenue is lined with beautiful buildings, shops, hotels, and art galleries, and is protected by law as the city’s oldest and most valuable landmark. We indulged in charming local traditions like taking a sip from Delijska ÄŒesma, a lovely water fountain, and sampling a slice of Hotel Moskva’s signature šnit, a fruit cake made with almonds, cherries, pineapple, and a secret cream.
