Skadarlija is a short, cobbled street in Belgrade, Serbia, that became a bohemian hub in the 1800s. Writers, actors and painters gathered in its kafanas, traditional taverns, and it is often compared to Montmartre in Paris.

Famous kafanas include Three Hats, open since 1864, and Two Deer. Poet and painter Đura Jakšić lived on the street, and a statue of him sits there today. Musicians stroll between tables playing old-town songs on violins, accordions and guitars.

Visitors eat grilled meats like ćevapi and sip rakija, a strong fruit brandy, often made from plums. A Sebilj fountain, gifted by Sarajevo in 1989, stands on the street. Skadarlija's painted facades and lanterns make it one of Belgrade's most atmospheric spots in the evening.
