Belgrade Shopping

this store is situated on trg republike and is part bookstore and musicshop
On the groundfloor there is a bookstore and a touristshop , and dont ever buy stuff there its expensive and not really nice. Its also here u can buy tickets to local gigs and plays.
downstairs is the musicshop and english bookstore where u also can buy all the foreign magazines and newpapers ( well most of them)
I like this place because I can find cds of bands I cant even find in Denmark..
Most of them are bootlegs but since its not illegal there i have no problem buying them. they have original cds but they are about the same prize as in Denmark so no use buying them there...
oh and it seems all the good looking blokes in Belgrade work there :-)

What to pay: bootleg cds are 100 - 150 din , and original cd from local artists are 300- 450 din.

Update:

IPS doesnt sell bootlegs anymore, so now its only original cds, which are about the same price as in Denmark, so nothing saved anymore.

Have you seen the movie "Chocolate"? Well, This is what you are going to see in this shop!!! An incredible range of the most attractive, delicious chocolates of ALL kinds: milk chocolate, bitter, white, with filliongs that you can only dream about - liquors, nugat, marzipan, peanuts, almonds, crisp, even chips, orange, strawberry, raspberry, wahlnuts, coconut, mint, etc etc etc with all the possible combinations! THe flavours are absolutely IRRESISTIBLE! Each little one is a perfection of its own, and you can choose your own setting for the price of 180 dinars per 100g (that would be about 2,40 euros), and that is HIDEOUSLY expensive for Serbia, but it is very well worth every dinar. A real paradise for all senses!
UPDATE: In the meantime they raised the price! Now it costs 300 dinars per 100g, which is 3,50 EUR at today's rate! Or, 35 EUR per kg!HIDEOUS!!! Even in Belgium is 2-3 times cheaper!
You will get your chocolates deliciously wrapped and with a booklet about the history of chocolate, and the display of each item that they are selling... with pictures and explanation what is it made of! Drool!

There aren't many shops in Belgrade that sell tourist memorabilia, but you can find many outdoor stalls in Knez Mihailova that sell these types of things. There are postcards, t-shirts, cards, badges and so on. Also, things like this can be found at the enterance to the Kalemegdan fortress!

If you're like the rest of us and can't afford crazy designer stores, you should go check out the flea market! You can find practically everything there, and it's usually the same as things in the shops, for a much cheaper price!

"Piramida" (the Pyramid) is possibly the largest shopping-mall in Belgrade.

Although it's located outside city center and does not boast with hi-profile reputation, you can still find pretty much everything you need there.

Besides couple of hundreds of shops, boutiques et al. Piramida also accomodates several decent cafes and a few places where you can eat (take-aways, bakeries, McDonalds).

What to buy: Some of the large halls at the Belgrade Fairground have been permanently converted into a shopping center with countless little shops dealing in clothing, technical devices, cosmetics, food and all sorts useful gadgets. The main advantage of this BAZAAR (as it is officially called), is that it is open Sundays as well. The Belgrade Fairground is a great place to shop when various fairs are staged and especially during the "New Year Fair".

If you did not spend at least half a day strolling or shopping no one will ever believe you ever visited Belgrade. Knez Mihailova is also a specific catwalk where the women of Belgrade like talented amateur models stage a never-ending fashion show - day and night. Having seen with their help what is the latest fashion, get your credit card or better yet some cash and treat yourself to something.
