BELGRADE, WORLD'S "PARTY CAPITAL"

(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, NOVEMBER 18 - A survey conducted by the Lonely Planet website has dubbed Serbia's capital city "the world's top destination" when it comes to having a good time, reports radio B92. Montreal, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Thessaloniki, La Paz, Cape Town, Baku, Oakland and Tel Aviv also found their place on the top ten list.

"Belgrade is the world", says Deutche Welle, playing on a slogan seen during the 1990s opposition demonstrations, and Belgrade offers "varied nightlife". With an "exuberant population and its legacy as an intellectual hangout", night-out options in Belgrade include "electric watering holes for those in the know, modern summer clubs in barges on the Sava and Danube Rivers, or clubs in the basements of apartment buildings and faculties".

Others might opt for "busy restaurants and bars of the Skadarlija district where one can often find a 'tour guide' who is eager to tell anecdotes to the guests". Those surveyed by the website also praised the city's electronic music scene, describing it as "one of the best in Europe, if not the world". Lonely Planet started in 1973 as a guidebook publisher, and became the worlds most successful travel information provider. (ANSAmed)
