Kosovska street where I spent a lot of time as teen: drinking my first coffee and having my first “proper” gelato in Ice Bar, then beers at the Irish pub and former Ana4Pištolja, and going to Owen and Owen for English classes with a friend who lived around the corner. I still love walking through it especially in the Spring. It also hides the current best gelato in town (@bubamara.gelato ), the best French pastry shop (Les Petits Gateaux) and a great bakery (Eco pekara), beside the ususal watering holes (Drinka, Three Ducks, Ice bar)
Carigradska : the gem of Gundulićev venac which links the now gone Botanička bašta bistro with @starahercegovina_restoran . On top of these there are some lovely shops (@boyaporcelain , @wagokoro_belgrade ), interesting buildings and very romantic former residents: Anica Savić Rebac, the famous Serbian classicist who followed the Greek ideal to her demise. When I was a kid there were many more nice houses with gardens but I guess things change. Would be cool if the street got cobble stones and if Gundulićev venac got a few more trees and became a proper little square
Jevremova street, probably the coolest in the city, stretches bewteen two major tourist haunts: the Belgrade fortress and Skadarlija. When Zerek (now Dorćol) was forced into a rational grid of streets in mid 19th century, it somewhat resisted thanks to Bajrakli mosque and the buidling of Velika škola, which means that it contains the most exciting mix of architecture and cool places in town. It used to be the poshest street in town evidenced by the fact that two major Serbian PMs lived there. Hang out in Meduza, Iva, Sloj, Saša, Blaznavac, Blum and June or shop at Blatobran or Valentina and Karanfil

Bains des Pâquis are a Geneva institution. In the summer they are a great lido with views over the city and Mont Blanc, while in the wither they become a hammam and sauna complex. Add uncharacteristically affordable prices and friendly atmosphere and you get an unmissable place where you can spend a nice chunk of the day.
Košutnjak public pools are probably the best place to go for an open air swim as they are surrounded by a vast park and there is plenty of space for everybody. They are also very beautifully designed and you feel like you are in a socialist resort on the Adriatic
Got to visit @centar.terra thanks to @bogdan.sculptor . It is a must see for any art aficionado: both for its great collection and to remind oneself that something great can be built with enough perseverance. More on TheNutshellTimes.com
@bazen_25maj just reooened for the summer season and I litterally ran on the old Dunav stanica train tracks to get to it asap
35th Belgrade marathon. I would not have completed the half marathon race if it were not for the amazing runners and crowds today. Everybody was super supportive and the energy in the city was amazing. I hope it compensates for those who could not use their cars today. A little dip in the fountain at Nikola Pašić square helped with recovery and made me feel like a high schooler again.

Although visit to every city is more defined by the people you get to meet there than the place itself, Zurich is a really charming place if you step outside of the Bahnhoffstrasse glitz
April is the coolest month. T.S. Eliot be damned.
