Stores Vracar
Serbian House of Wine is like a compact library of wine in Branichevska Street, right next to Saint Sava Temple. Here you will find the wines from both Serbian vineyards, as well as over 150 different kinds of wine from all over Balkans. If you like wine tourism, then this should definitely be one of the sites.
Local Factor+Rose Market is right across the street from Serbian house of Wine, but its focus is completely different. Organic products by local farmers are turned into delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes in this quaint little café-restaurant, and the ambiance is beautiful and unique, with flowers everywhere along with fresh fruit and vegetables that take up the center of the sitting area. Fresh pastry, fresh veggies, completely organic milk, hearty and healthy soups and flowers and friendly staff is what you will find at Local Factor, and there is a good chance you will return for more.
Souvenir shop of old arts and crafts, which you will find in Freedom Boulevard (Bulevar Oslobodjenja), just when you pass Slavija Square, offers a vide arrangement of unique souvenirs that tourists usually find endearing. Traditional sweets, parts of traditional clothing on a key chain and many many variations of the Serbian flag are only a small part of what this shop has to offer. If you are staying in one of our apartments in Vracar, this store and you haven’t found the time to go to souvenir shopping, this shop will probably be your salvation.
Antique shop and bookstore Magellan is hidden on Mackenzie street, as antique shops usually are. There aren’t that many antique bookstores in Belgrade, so Magellan is kind of a treasure chest for all that nurture a proclivity for antique books. One of this shop’s strongest advantages is that it has a significant number of well preserved old editions in English, and here you can also find some quite interesting books by Magelan Publishing, albeit in Serbian. Smell of old books omnipresent in this shop, and this fact alone makes it worth visitng.
Bubble Tea Boom is a newcomer to Belgrade, and you will find it on Boulevard of King Alexander, tucked away in a mini mall. If you ever tried bubble tea, then you don’t need any further recommendation, and if you didn’t then this should definitely make your to-do list. The drink in question has a tea base, with a broad variety of tastes, and to top it all with tapioca and bubbles bursting with flavor only makes it infinitely better. This is still a store, as you can only buy bubble tea here, and drink it on the go. Nevertheless, Bubble Tea Boom shouldn’t be missed.
