Stari Grad

Hotel Moskva

Belgrade's most iconic hotel has graced Terazije Square since 1906, its Secession-style terracotta façade a defining feature of the city's skyline. The ground-floor café — where every Belgrade intellectual and politician has held court since the Austro-Hungarian era — remains the finest place in Serbia to drink coffee and watch the world go by. Rooms are comfortable if architecturally modest; the address is everything.
