Summary

In its days as a drab Communist capital, no one would have dreamed that Belgrade would one day be named the world’s number one party city by a major international travel publication. But that’s exactly what happened in 2010, when the acclaimed Lonely Planet bestowed the title on this ancient Serbian city. In this episode, Europe After Dark sets out to learn just what makes Belgrade such a clubbing mecca, paying a visit to the floating river-barge nightclubs called “splavs,” and dropping in on a massive dance party behind the walls of a medieval fortress.
