The White Palace located in the same complex as the Royal Palace, the official residence of the Kara?or?evi? royal family. The palace was designed in a NeoPalladian manner inspired by the 18th century English houses such as Ditchley Park. Its interior was decorated with English Georgian and 19th century Russian antiques by the French design firm Jansen, which later decorated the White House during the administration of John F. Kennedy.

 

The Royal Chapel, which is located within the Royal Compound, is devoted to Saint Apostle Andrew The First-Called, the patron Saint of The Royal Family of Yugoslavia. The church was built at the same time as The Royal Palace and is attached to it through a colonnade with semicircular arches from where there are magnificent views towards northern, western and southern parts of Belgrade, as well as to the terraced rose gardens. It is covered with frescoes painted by Russian painters who traveled around Serbia and copied the frescoes of the most famous Serbian medieval monasteries.

Belgrade Spring

During the month of April Talas S was a host to the group from Holland Company MCX.

The group was greeted by a girl in national costume, with bread and salt, in Serbian traditional way.

Since we always try to be creative in our services, this time we have decided to organize transfer from the airport to the city center by vintage bus. Bus is 80 years old and so is the driver Branko, also known as Grandpa Branko.

On the way to the city center, the group didn’t mind to pick up ‘gipsy-hitchhiker-band’ so we had mini concert on the bus and enjoyed in the sound of Serbian trumpet! 🙂

Since the group was four days in Belgrade, we had the opportunity to experience different pleasures in Serbia.  The group has enjoyed in walk on Belgrade’s Fortress – Kalemegdan and a coffee in oldest tavern in Belgrade called ‘?’. There is no better place than Skadarlija – Bohemian quarter to experience local specialties and feel the vivid atmosphere of Serbian capital. The evening was continued at Savamala district where the guests had the chance to mingle with locals, and feel Belgrade’s night life at its best.

Orienteering at Fruška Gora with barbeque after it can have a big influence on the team spirit, and our guests had an opportunity to experience that. Nice weather, fresh air, cold beverage and famous Serbian barbeque.

We all know that from time to time you just need to relax, and for that occasion we have prepared a boat ride on rivers Sava and Danube.  After the ride we just ‘hop’ to the fish restaurant – directly from the boats. Since that day was ‘relax day’ we choose fish soup and mixed fish specialty for the lunch.

We were very happy that MCX choose us to be their DMC and we gave our best to be a good host.

Belgrade, Valuable Sights in Serbia’s Capital

Vintage Bus Belgrade Group

A Familiarization (Educational) Trip to Belgrade, Capital of Serbia

Just a few words to sum up the unforgettable moments during last weekend. Together with our partners we organised a Familiarization Trip to Belgrade for a delegation of business owners from France.

The vintage bus driven by the 79-year old chauffeur properly dressed in his traditional uniform, with black leather shoes and a typical chauffeur hat, shared very interesting and funny stories about the bus history, a rare gem of the past century. The old bus was used as a means of transportation to explore the colourful streets of Serbia’s capital, the city of Belgrade. We were undoubtedly noticed while passing through various parts of Belgrade city. We were greeted at every corner of the city. A real attraction for everyone cruising through the capital of Serbia.
