Prince Michael Street, Belgrade (must see)
Prince Michael Street is one of the main pedestrian zones in the city, as well as being one of the main attractions in town and a popular shopping district.
The street follows the path of the original Roman city layout. The Roman town here was called Singidunum. Roman graves in the area have been dated from the first and second centuries.

The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts is located in Number 35. The building was completed in 1924 in the academic style and houses its gallery, lecture hall, antique shop, and bookstore.
Many of the beautiful buildings along Prince Michael Street are now home to popular restaurants and cafes. For example, the Ruski Car at Number 38 is a popular cafe in a 1926 Art Deco building.
