Food and food forever

#100waysoftravel Exploring the charming streets of Belgrade, I found myself captivated by the beautiful blend of history, culture, and culinary delights that this city offers. One of the highlights of my journey was visiting the stunning **St. Sava Cathedral**, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Its towering domes and intricate mosaics create a truly awe-inspiring atmosphere. The cathedral’s serene ambiance and architectural grandeur are simply breathtaking; every detail, from the ornate icons to the light streaming through stained glass, feels like a tribute to centuries of tradition. After exploring this spiritual marvel, I wandered over to the vibrant streets filled with local flavors. Belgrade’s food scene is a celebration of rich Balkan culture and offers a feast for all senses. I indulged in **cevapi**, the famous Serbian grilled meat dish, accompanied by **kajmak** (a creamy dairy spread) and **ajvar** (a flavorful roasted pepper and eggplant relish). The smoky flavor of the grilled meat mixed with the creamy kajmak created a perfect balance, and the fresh ajvar added a tangy twist that made every bite unforgettable. This meal alone captures the warmth and hospitality of Serbia, as it’s not just about the food but the stories, the culture, and the people who make every meal feel like a celebration. Belgrade’s charm lies in its ability to offer an experience that is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. From the peaceful beauty of St. Sava to the lively flavors of traditional Serbian dishes, this city has a way of leaving a lasting impression on both your heart and taste buds.
