About
Rychlá fakta: Wandering the narrow cobblestone street, you catch live singers pouring old folk songs from dim kafanas while aromas of grilled meats and rakija float through the air. Hidden courtyards, stringed lights, and painted wooden signs make evening strolls feel like stepping into a living postcard, with local artists still gathering for impromptu poetry, sketches, and jazz sessions.
Hlavní zajímavosti: Stroll down the narrow cobbled street and you’ll pass roughly 20 century-old kafanas under flickering gas lamps and draped wisteria, the air heavy with grilled meats, warm bread, and the sharp apricot sting of rakija. On warm evenings tamburitza players drift from table to table and one old tavern still keeps a battered guestbook of verses, with a local tale that a poet once challenged a painter to a rhyme duel at table number 7 and the whole place sang along for an hour.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes, cobblestones are uneven and can be slippery after rain.
- Take photos from the head of the street near Dva Jelena or from the small bridge for lamp-lit, atmospheric shots.
- To avoid the biggest crowds and higher menu prices, visit midday on a weekday or arrive before 7 PM on evenings.
- Ask about live-music cover fees before sitting, and consider sharing a meze plate or grabbing a pastry if you want the atmosphere without a full-price meal.
