Hotel Moskva has been an Art Nouveau icon of Belgrade since 1906 – it was opened by the King of Serbia himself. Past guests include the great and the good from Albert Einstein to Alfred Hitchcock.

Belgrade is a city on the mend. The Serbian capital (and capital of the former Yugoslavia) spent most of the 1990s ravaged by war and the megalomaniacal leadership of war criminal Slobodan Milosevic.

Epic night life, thriving cafe culture, hearty meals and emerging, design-conscious industrial districts: Belgrade has a gritty, distinctive appeal.
