Belgrade Further Distractions
Formerly a separate town but now a suburb of Belgrade, Zemun occupies a wonderful position north of New Belgrade that overlooks the Danube River. It's actually much older than Belgrade itself with parts of it dating back to the third century. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Most of the sights are concentrated along the river bank and there are numerous bars and cafes to relax in and the fish restaurants here are exceptional.
FC Red Star Belgrade
Football is a huge passion in Belgrade with supporters divided into the two camps of Red Star Belgrade and Partisan Belgrade (website: www.partizan.co.yu). Rivalry is fierce between these two teams and derby day games can be fiery affairs. There is a free museum at the Red Star stadium which is full of football memorabilia including photographs and autographs from the ‘Busby Babes' - the legendary Manchester United team who played their last game here against Red Star before their plane tragically crashed on its way home killing eight players and 15 other passengers.
