Welcome to Serbia
I’ve been to Belgrade, Serbia. God bless you country of southern slav brothers.
Хвала много брате!
A very beautiful city full of history. Greetings from Bucharest Romania to our Serbian brothers and neighbors.
Thank you for this post. I love Serbia and the people. One of if not the best places i have been. Its my second home. It was great to see you visit the places i enjoy.
As I croat I too want to say how beautiful Belgrade is I recommend the former Yugoslav Capital really to anyone also the Serbs are very nice people too me the same as croatians 🔥❤️ so yeah go visit Serbia and Belgrade (Hteo sam da stranci vidu da ne samo Rusi i Grci vole Srbe nego das susjedi Hrvati isto pozdrav🔥🔥👍)
Pozdrav za braću iz Hrvatske. Zagreb se zadnjih par godina baš ulepšao i nadam se da će i Beograd uskoro.
@Panter Panta ok
Love serbia from romania(((:
Love Romania from Serbia. Last summer we've spent three weeks around Transilvania.
I love this people from Serbia !! G
What is the first thing you like about our people, I'm just curious?
Greetings from Serbia.
milos jovanovic I cant answer for Tomas but I appreciate how The Serbian people spilled their blood keeping Europe free of the Ottomans and other Islamic hordes. Unfortunately now it seems we’re hellbent on undoing all the good work.
@@deltanovember1672 Very very few people from the west Europe are aware of this fact... happy to hear at least someone is aware and can appreciate it...thanks.
Timi B Greetings from Scotland.
It’s true Timi, not too many know about the past but more and more people are learning. Every time there’s an Islamic attack more and more of us grow to hate them and thank the Serbs and others for the blood they spilled to keep Europe clean. 🇷🇸🏴 Bless you brother.
Ettore Aquilani Your comment doesn’t make sense. The first sentence does, the second sentence, not so much.
Dobro došli u moju Srbiju. Welcome to my Serbia.🙏❤️🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Love to Serbia from Armenia 🇷🇸🤝🇦🇲
I hope you will visit us again once all this corona stuff is over :)
Thanks, I hope to as well. I found out about some really amazing places while doing research and was looking forward to visiting them. Hopefully I'll get another chance to see more of the country.
Gabriel Traveler Serbia has better cities for tourism.

My wife is from Serbia. We took kids to see their grandparents there two years ago. I LOVE BELGRADE
the city looks great !!! greetings from Bucharest !!!
Beograd looks wonderful
Wow!!!! I want to visit Belgrade soon!!!!! love it
Gabriel I have enjoyed watching the video on Belgrade. It's definitely a good history lesson for me. Thanks for the great content.
We agree. Wish he could share it with history teachers for their students...actually I hope they find this ...it is full of interesting information and visually...outstanding
@@designdoctor247 agreed Gabriel has very educational content on his channel. If I were a teacher, I would recommend my students watch Bald and Bankrupt and Rick Steves. Needless to say Bald and Bankrupt's videos far exceed anything I learned about the Soviet Union in history classes.
great place Serbia !!!!!!! just got back 2 weeks ago from Nis and Belgrade. Am going back in 2 weeks despite the trouble in the last week. But its my 2nd go to place in the world.....
What's the first? :)
Nis and Belgrade are the best
@@djdox2425 Novi Sad is best.
@@Zdravovi1 Maybe for you, for me Belgrade and then Nis.
Great video, Gabe ! You made me walk around this lovely city again , and Zemun, too, remembering my last years visits! Take care, greetings from Slovenia!
Dobar si Lik ....you are realy good :-)
Enjoy your trip in Serbia & Belgrade
All ex YU populations are utmost friendly warmhearted human beings. Your videos are beutiful.
@superbura9 superbura9 Hello again, mutual respect for history, culture and traditions is what matters here. Forging historical facts does not.
@Josip Croatia could have done what Slovenia did, without lives being sacrificed. The problem is that Croatia is much more ethnically diverse than Slovenia and much less tolerant to that fact. It preferred to forge history and cultural heritage (like our common language) in order to establish an independent country - which wasn't necessary and it led to the civil war. During that war Croatia has expelled at least 250 000 Serbs from Krajina only (historical Military Frontier of the Habsburg Monarchy where they have lived for 400 years), which than found refuge in Serbia, that didn't have any infrastructure to support them. Croatia was supporting invasive Bulgaro-Turkish IMRO in today's North Macedonia territory during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as it does today and it supports Albanian separatists in Kosovo, too. It denies existence and cultural continuity of any other nation in Dalmatia and Istria, in spite of clear historical facts. The list goes on... what was that about reparation? Aren't you overpaid already for ruining Serbia?
@superbura9 superbura9 Sure - we benefited greatly from Croatian Tito, butting into Serbian Royal Court or Croatian Stipe Suvar's school reform in 1980, that introduced Marxism as obligatory subject in all schools of EX- Yu. As in you didn't need for example Economics to run a private architectural office, but - according to Mr. Suvar - Marxism! Genius. It isn't surprising that Croatians strongly oppose any mention of historical facts or continuity because they don't have much to be proud of in this light. By the way, Turkey (which funded IMRO and its program of "unifying" Balkan currently ruling in North Macedonia) has just occupied Famagusta, Cyprus. Today. Cheers to EU.
@Josip Since when is comrade : )) Cosic the Father of Serbian nation? He was just an unfortunate writer and definitely not among the best. I wouldn't rely on political nor ethical competence of a mediocre but ambitious communist writer, aspiring to be a President. But it's the crowd that chooses - that's democracy : ( Do you consider Tito the Father of Croatian nation? (This is in your favor - albeit a communist, he was a way better politician, navigated between the opposed blocks, dissed USSR , ceased animosities between our nations for a while and definitely working in Croatian favor by helping to ethnically "clean" Lika from Serbs.) I bet not. Equally, I'm Serbian but that maniac is definitely not my "father". The man was delusional - in 2011. he tripped that he won the Nobel Prize for literature : ))) after proving his political brilliance.
Or Ante Kovacic with "In the Registrar's Office" ? ("U Registraturi". Also in your favor, because Kovacic was a great writer, albeit not speaking in favor of Croatian conformist servile mentality).
37:49 that music is amazing with the Belgrade buildings love and respect from #somalia
Moj grad BEOGRAD ❤❤❤
I moj u srcu a ja daleko od njega.
💘💘💘
I always hit the like button even before the video starts. Gabe is the best 😉
G. A. Y
dennis 13 thank you for letting us know 👏
I do too. 😊
You want a medal or something???
Gabe is the best at what??
Screw the critics.. Keep living your dream Gabe.
Exactly what I say. Never give into travel shamers. Never.
Well, Serbia is current on the travel warning list of several states.
That is not "criticism" and no "shaming". It is a warning from any travel into that country with legal consequences in case something should happen. For example, your employer can lawfully fire you if you have any troubles getting back to work after travelling to such an area.
This is not a joke, it can ruin your life. So, apart from being in solidarity and protecting other people as much as possible, this is a severe matter.
Thank you for visiting my county and my city ... I hope you enjoying in Belgrade 🥰 thank you and come back soon again ...
Your are welcomee ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love your video ❤️
Watching your video l felt like l was home for a moment. Born and raised in Belgrade but last few years in UK so l am so nostalgic looking at this even l go home sometimes. I think you should find online Serbian friends who speak English and they are happy to show you around. Kalemegdan is best for a long,good walk and far from loud traffic,always been my favourite place even when I was child. Need to check your other videos. Greetings :)
it's very clean everywhere and beautiful places..
guy from 19:20 has no idea what he talking about. Yes, the river was the border between ocupied Serbia by Austro-Hungary empire and the rest non ocupied part of Serbia at WWII. But Zemun was not built by Austro-Hungarians. Zemun was built by Old Slavs long before AH empire at XII century and there was found remnants of material culture from period between 3500-4000 B.C. I hope you have a nice stay at our city and country.
Stvarno se nalupao za medalju
Zemun su osnovali Rimljani i nazvali ga Taurunum...toliko o istorijskim cinjenicama.
The dude is right, Novi Sad does have very different architecture, beautiful city. I enjoyed it more than Belgrade, as a matter of fact. I'd like to visit Subotica next time.
As beautiful as Novi Sad really is, it is just as any other central European little town....if you see one you have seen them all basically. Belgrade on the other hand is quite unique in its mixture of cultures. It is literally a gateway between east and west and it shows. As robust, crude and sometimes even ugly, it has that little something i am afraid Novi Sad lacks to make it exciting. At least to me. :)
OVO JE SUPER. BRAVO ZA DECKA IZ AMERIKE I PRICI O BEOGRADU 2020
👏 ❤❤❤
Wow It looks so great!! Love from Iraq 🇮🇶❤️🇷🇸
Wonderful tour of Belgrade. Thank you, Gabriel.
Dude this video is exactly what I was looking for and shot so well. Thanks so much man, really appreciate it.
Excellent.
We agree!!! And His music 🎶 choices...five 🌟⭐ 🌟⭐ 🌟!!!!
Serbians are one of the most friendliest people alongside Albanians in Europe. I only had chance to spend 24 hours in Belgrade but those time were one of the best. The view from the castle is really breathtaking and the whole city is reallybeautiful. I am definitely going back there once this pandemic is over.
I hope you enjoy wherever you go Gabriel and don't think too much about the negative comments. These type of people are everywhere. You are one of the most loved and senior travel vlogger. Please turn your comments on.
Gabe: Sorry you had to turn off comments after this video; I perfectly understand. My wife & I fully enjoy watching all your videos and have gained alot of valuable information from them for our travels and look forward to your continued postings. God bless and protect you. Enjoy your further travels.
Good move for switching comments off the other day - hang in there; we love you
Welcome to Serbia
Hello from Florida just found your chanel, really enjoyed.
beautiful city, I want to go there at any time.. thanks
Beautiful Serbia 🇷🇸
amazing work, I miss it soo much, this city
Mr. Gabe... Don't let people get to you.. You are a good person! Your videos are informative. Allow their ill comments to make you stronger. Become resiliant. You can do it sir! You are a good man!☺
I enjoyed your video very much. Love Serbia and its wonderful people. America made a big mistake when Billy Clinton fought the Serbian giving a large piece of their land to the Albanians. Love and admiration from the Assyrians to the Serbian people. You have a very beautiful country. God bless Serbia.
Yes Gabriel! Stay safe! Saw his video this morning that he posted! Extremely scary! Social distancing as possible! ❤🙏❤ thank you Gabriel for the video of Serbia! Hopefully you can go back when this craziness is over! 😊❤🙏
I understand totally after reading the comments why you turned them off! Every other reply is about B&B which I know your were aware off...
Some countries depend on tourism and there will be no tourist infrastructure left if we all wait another year or whenever people decide it’s ok... if the governments are asking tourists to come then that’s the only advice you need right now. You are def better off where you are than in the USA... your being responsible so I don’t know what people expect, that we all live in a box for the next couple of years.. people arguing with each other would drive me nuts also, and you have the decency to actually read and reply to people’s comments a lot , I’ve noticed that , and it’s hard to constantly get bashed when your not doing anything wrong , no more than a local would be doing where you are... good luck to you
Exactly
Belgrade is the most beautiful town in Europe! Love it! Serbia🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Right, except it's the capital city (and not a town. ;))
Yes in your DREAMS! HAHAHAHA
Good decision to keep on traveling and posting for us who cannot travel so much. Your true followers are totally supporting you and your decision. Can’t wait to see more videos from Croatia. It is a good decision to disable comments for a while until those people move away to some other channels. Traveling is a personal decision and everyone has to review their own reasons and the risks for themselves. I completely agree with your statement. Just forget all these ugly comments and keep going and doing what you do the best. Always so happy to see every new video that you post at any time. Good luck on you journey!
Now in ruins, sad... The hotel was opened in 1969 as "one of the most comfortable and most luxurious" hotels in Yugoslavia, and "among top 5 largest and most beautiful hotels in Europe. Had very famous guests (Queen Elizabeth II, R. Nixon, J. Carter....)
Hotel had the biggest chandelier in the World until 2010, designed and made by Swarovski in 1969. It has 40.000 crystals, 5.000 bulbs and weight of 14 tonnes.
During the 1999 NATO bombings of Yugoslavia, the hotel was hit by two missiles...
One half of the hotel was reopened in 2013 in the form of three-star hotel garni.
I can not belive that guy was from Belgrade. Almost everithing he said was wrong.

Ozbiljan transfer blama.... 😊
Yogoslavia wasn’t part of the Soviet Union, it’s not Soviet architecture. Soviet is a Russian word.
Ruske arhitekte jesu ovde gradile između dva svetska rata. Najčešće u klasicističkom stilu.
No YU is never be a part of SSSR
Josip did you edit your comment there? it doesn’t mean it is USSR architecture though, there’s a difference between literally being soviet architecture and being influenced by it. Yogoslav architecture has a bit of a mixed identity with both western and eastern influence.
Josip he doesn’t have to be an expert, but to mix up information and talk as if he’s in the former USSR is poor content and stereotypical American.
Finaly someone said the truth.
I was always wondering when will you visit us and you picked the worst time ever to come ☺ Much love from Serbia ❤
29:30 That's how Nikola Tesla is a Serb, to be known, a good legend, every honor.👍
Love the videos. Watch them all the time. Understand how comments can get to you and the reasons for shutting them down. Keep up the good work!
God bless you Gabe and safe journeys. I always love your videos. I totally support you travelling now and behaving in a natural way with respect for others, as you always do
Wow Gabe 40 Min Video!! You should do more like this ! 😁
A well deserved meal at the end of this video. Stay well and glad you are travelling again. Respect to you Gabriel. Thanks for the news on Ben.
Welcome to SERBIA BELGRADE BEAUTIFUL CITY
Beautiful city with a beautiful soul!
Every video you make Gabriel, is truly authentic. Congratulations! Baytheway great music choice too.

No problem, thanks for the support Effie.
You should definitely go to Novi Sad and Sremski Karlovci
agree.
And Subotica, Too!
I was supposed to go to Belgrade and Novi Sad earlier this summer. Hopefully next year instead. What's in Sremski Karlovci? I haven't heard of it before
@@neilrafferty4085 As You might know, Vojvodina is the most European region in Serbia, mostly because of its historical heritage. Sremski Karlovci is a small town near Novi Sad, main city of Vojvodina, and second big city in Serbia, right after Belgrade. Sr. Karlovci are famous for its vineyards. There is big wine festival at the end of the summer there. Subotica is beautiful city on the north, near Hungarian border. It is famous because of its buildings in art nouveau style and Synagogue, recently renewed and one of the most beautiful building of that type in this part of Europe. Also, You can visit Palic, lake, 7 km. from Subotica city.
Novi Sad najlepsi Srpski grad, nije tako isaran kao beograd
Yep,Gab is in my hood 😇 Priceless!!
My wonderfoul city, i live in Paris for couple of years and it is nothig compared to my beautifoul Belgrade. Miss it everyday! :(
The video was amazing -- you explored Belgrade and gave us a hint on how it feels in 40 minutes. Brother, please wear mask all the time. Be safe and thanks for this video.
Stay safe Gabriel. And thanks for providing us with these great content in this times.
Hello nice video 📹 thanks looking forward to the next one. Saludos
Hey Gabriel, just to let you know how much your videos are appreciated , being a public figure always will led to have people liking and disliking everything with you and around you. Anyway just look how many likes you got every time you post your work, just don't let anyone to disrupt your peace of mind. And no need to turn off the comments, be brave and fear nothing!!!
Thank you, Gabriel, nice work.
Enjoy yourself. Greetings from Amsterdam. I was in Ljubljana a week ago. Enjoyed my 2 weeks holidays.
Such a lovely video, Gabriel :) I was born and raised in the very center of the city, Kalemegdan was literally my playground, so wherever you passed on your walk is meaningful and dear to me. Even the new Belgrade and Zemun parts, my parents got married in Jugoslavija hotel - it used to be very famous and posh - and my grandmother lived very near Danube quay of Zemun. So much more to see even in the center of the city, let alone further afield and in Serbia in general. Great idea to rent a car and go around it, it's so much diversity - from northernmost parts that feel like Hungary and Austria still, to southern that have much more of the oriental feel, due to history of course. And many more fortresses, mountains and ancient sites in between. But I think you'd enjoy mountains perhaps the most. That being said, I'm glad you flew out just in time not to get caught up in either corona or protests. Looking forward to you coming back in future. Enjoy Croatia! And stay safe.
Regards from Split, Croatia🤗
Ma joj suti bolan Ivana, mani price. Nema od price nista. Vrijeme je za zenidbu. Ja sam slobodan u Novembru tako da imamo 2-3 mjeseca da sve organizujemo. Nema vremena za pricu. Vrijeme je za zenidbu.

I love your videos ! Stay safe !
Well said ...nice paradox, but Gabriel s videos are amazing...sooo , people like this are OK to travel, mature, responsible...living their lives/ dreams..and sharing !!!
Thanks for taking us on an amazing walk in such an stunning place in the world, despite everything going on right now. Nope, it's not for everyone, but I love to see some kind of normalcy, no matter where. Do stay safe and have a great time in Croatia where I thought that you were at first to begin with. Chao from Texas❤
I have never been to Belgrade. It was getting an amazing walking tour. There were not many tourists around the streets.
Lol there are basically no tourists anywhere because of virus.
Really enjoyed it. Great Job. 😎🙏👍✌
You always choose really great tunes to go along with your videos! Even the guitarist was playing a great tune. Great job and thank you for your hard work making these videos! ☺️
Kako imamo lepe grafite! Jesmo umetnici da ukenjamo.

Oh, the wonderful memories of my visit to Belgrade last year this superb video brings back. I too visited the fortress and stood where you were talking to that guy looking at the views of the Sava and Danube rivers. By the way, if you look carefully about one second after you started filming out of the bus window, you will see a small building flash by on the bridge- this is a lift that goes down to the path besides the Sava and it is where I commenced a walk along the rivers. Having read your pinned comment, I think you made the right move in leaving Belgrade which is a bit of a shame. As you're in Croatia, try and get to its capital, Zagreb- I also had a great time there last year! By the way, large demonstrations are common in Belgrade, apoarently there were weekly demonstrations against the President occurring when I visited in the spring if 2019, although I didn't see any.
The man around 19:00 states that in before WW2 (Actually WW1) Zemun was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire whereas the central area of Belgrade was part of Serbia. In fact, from where you are standing at this point, you are close to the site of the first battle of WW1:
On 28 July 1914, the same day that Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Austro-Hungarian naval ships shelled the Kalemegdan fortress from the Danube River. This took place one month after the Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip assassinated the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, and weeks before the more well-known fighting on the Western Front began.
Zemun, being a former part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, specifically the Hungarian portion, is architecturally similar to the cities of Vojvodina in Northern Serbia such as Novi Sad and Subotica, or other cities in Central and Eastern Europe that were once part of Hungary. The tower that you visit around 38:00 is known as the "Millennium Tower" and was built in 1896 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Hungarian settlement within the Pannonian Basin region.
Nicholas Higgins Thankfully the only decent comment that doesn’t mention COVID 19
The history in this part of the world is pretty incredible. I visited the exact spot where Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand a few years ago: th-cam.com/video/0RqFMv0hUkc/w-d-xo.html
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I agree, both Belgrade and Sarajevo are interesting and diverse cities to visit. The site of Franz Ferdinand's assassination seems innocuous and is marked only by a small plaque, yet the events there led to one of the greatest catastrophes in human history - directly WW1 and then consequently WW2.
A blessed good day sir Gabriel Wowww nice place there in Belgrade ,Serbia a very quiet stunning place amazing architectural heritage buildings nice parks, thank u so much sir Gabe for your nice walk around tour video thanks for yoir sharing Wonderful video even in time of pandemic crisis in the whole World, I always pray for you and Guided by Our Lord God,🙏🙏🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏 keep safe sir Gabe always protect your self take care see u for the next exciting video Godbless u, from your solid fan viewer supporter from the Philippines, Tondo, Manila sir vhin 🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏

Hi Gabriel.
Ignore the negative keyboard health experts. It's your life - your decision.Period.
Stay safe - happy travels and keep your videos coming!
Right on, sounds good.
Nikola Tesla was born in Austro-Hungary, in a province known as Military Frontier, which was a land near the border with a population mixed of 40% Serbs, 40% Croats, and 20% oothrers like Germans and Hungarins. Tesla place TODAY belongs to Croatia, but Tesla was a Serbian who never got to be born or live in Croatia, only Military Frontier.
It was Croatian territory before and after the wars with Ottomans ended. Tesla was going to school in Zagreb, Croatia and he was only once in his life in Serbia.
I dont care that he has Serbian heritage but you try so hard to paint him as Serbian inventor when he was American inventor first and foremost and had little to none connectiob with Serbia.
@@slobodanput 1-Dalmatia was Austrian province until 1918. Croatia was Hungarian province until 1918. So NO. 2- Tesla studied in Karlovac (Military Frontirt), Graz (Carinthia) and Budapest. NEver in Zagreb you uneducated peaseant go educate youttself
Hey Gabriel, thank you so much for this beatiful Video! You are welcome in Serbia again!!!
22:00
The bridge was named after the street and the poet Branko Radicevic, even though we all link Branko Copic to it, who by the way didn't commit suicide over love interest, but because he was being constantly followed and interrogated by the communist party regime for his social criticism and similar activities, which brings us right to our current situation, Serbia being fed up with another one in a looooooooong line of dictators.
Sorry to see you leave and miss all the fun😁😁😁😁 ( this is a joke..............explanation for the trolls...... just in case😉)
I was just watching your videos from Sweden the other day, totally threw me off when I saw you here.

Please stop saying that Belgrade is a little known city, it is far from it, especially in Europe. It has huge historical importance and relevance.
Gabriel stay safe the country is high on COVID 19 cases ....I hope to see in my hometown Chania Crete in October 2020
Especially historical, it was almost whole medieval times place of direct clash od west (Catholic world) and east (Muslim world), there were over 144 recorded battles in Belgrade and it was demolished and built over in 44 occasions.
Sometimes you say stuff in videos that in retrospect wasn't the right thing to say. It was little known to me. Despite the fact I've traveled a lot and been to the Balkans before, I knew nothing about Belgrade and what there was to see there. Fortunately I learned a bit about its importance and some of the significant history of the city and of Serbia during my week in the city. In terms of tourism it's less known than a lot of other places in Europe, but it's no less important or impressive. I was pleasantly surprised by Belgrade and what there was to see and do there.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you for your honest repsonse Gabriel, sorry if I came off aggressive, but history is my strong side and sometimes I can get heated up about it. Greetings from a Montenegrin living in Poland!
In the US at least it's pretty much unheard of, sorry to say
I just watched your 2 latest videos. Thanks for your good narrative. Thanks for sharing.
