Best Belgrade-Dorćol holiday apartments

Dorcol is a district of Belgrade less than one kilometre north of the city centre. This is the area considered by Belgradians as the true heart of the city and it is easily one of the most desirable residential areas in the city. With a holiday apartment in Dorćol you could soon be joining that local community. A holiday apartment in Dorćol from 9flats places you at the centre of the community and allows you to learn about the people and not just the city. In this way you can develop a fuller understanding of the culture and enjoy a more authentic travel experience. In this respect, your holiday accommodation in Dorćol is much like couchsurfing in Dorćol but you benefit from far greater comfort and privacy in your own room or apartment.

Enjoying the area around your holiday apartment in Dorćol

Some residents call Dorćol the Manhattan of Belgrade and while that may be a bit of an exaggeration, there is no doubt that it is a central and sought after place to live in the capital. It is the oldest neighbourhood and one of the smallest, bordered by Belgrade Fortress, Student’s Square, Despot Stefan Lazarević Boulevard and the Danube. It is named after a Turkish word for a crossroads and initially was the spot where roads to Constantinople, Vidin, Vienna and Dubrovnik met. This made the area a natural marketplace and a melting pot of many different cultures, an atmosphere that still survives today.

Exploring from your holiday accommodation in Dorćol

Dorćol is a perfect location for a holiday apartment in Belgrade that is both central and historic. The area of Lower Dorćol along the Danube promenade is particularly attractive and work is planned for the development of a marina here that will improve the locality even further. Here you can visit the Neboja Tower and Monument to the Defenders of Belgrade or linger in a waterside cafe to enjoy some people watching. You can also visit the nearby Belgrade Fortress and also the oldest house in Belgrade, at number 10 Cara Duana Street. There are also a number of museums and galleries to enjoy in the area and Student Square is the centre for academic life, with the universities situated around it.

Choosing a different Bucharest neighbourhood

A holiday apartment in Vracar will take you to the smallest and most densely populated neighbourhood in Belgrade. It is one of the most central districts too and is home to the Saint Sava Temple, one of Belgrade’s most famous landmarks. This is the largest Orthodox church in the world and one of the top ten biggest Christian churches in existence. Vracar is a busy residential and important commercial area, with one of the city’s tallest skyscrapers, Beograđanka. Whether your travels take you to Belgrade or beyond, you will find the best accommodation right here at 9flats, so book your apartment in Belgrade now for an outstanding travel experience.
