Belgrade
Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona - where next?
If you're into clubbing holidays and have done the usual suspects, Serbia's capital Belgrade has come on to the radar quickly in recent years, developing an exciting, ever-changing cobweb of clubs and bars.
Belgrade is different enough to enjoy daytime around the city before hitting the town for an evening of revelry.
Belgrade
The good news for tourists is that the city is incredibly cheap by our standards. Main courses in the best restaurants are £5-£10, killer cocktails in the coolest bars are £2.50-5, while a beer should set you back between £1 and £1.50 depending on the venue. And the local brews (try Jelen Pivo or neighbouring Montenegro's Nikšicko) tend to be far superior to and cheaper than the foreign imports.
While the people are some of the friendliest in the world, the one complaint I heard is that they are still being punished after suffering enough because of Slobodan Milosevic. Economic sanctions were accompanied by travel restrictions, many of which are still in place - it's very hard for residents to obtain visas to visit the EU, for instance.
There's a fashionable overground bar scene spread throughout the city, with one of the most popular strips (if you'll excuse the pun) being Belgrade's very own 'Silicon Valley' on Strahinjica Bana in Dorcol - so called for the number of glamorous, artificially enhanced females trawling the streets looking for wealthy males. There are good bars to be found despite the show.
And the best thing? You can follow the lead of the locals and club-hop to your heart's delight without hitting your wallet. Club entry is free, they make their money behind the bar, so there's no need to worry about skipping to a different place if the mood and music isn't taking you where you want to be.
Most bars open until between midnight and 2am, while clubs we visited closed around 5am.
