Belgrade has several interesting sights. Skaralija is the city's old Bohemian neighborhood and a popular district known for its cafés and restaurants. Belgrade Fortress has a prominent position in the cityscape and the Kalemegdan Park that surrounds it is another place where many hours can be spent. Belgrade is also known for its nightlife.
