Ada Ciganlija
People say that Belgrade would actually be perfect if only it had a sea. In an attempt to bring sea closer to Belgrade, a lake was built by connecting an river island to a river bank in the southern Belgrade. And, really, in summer, when the heat becomes intolerable, this little oasis 7 km from city center offers a wide range of refreshing activities. Bicycles, jogging, golf, tennis, basketball, football, rugby, water skiing, free climbing, bungee jumping, roller skating, and other sports activities will satisfy your urge for extra sweating. Or, you can just choose to chill at one of the numerous beach cafes. Plus, if there’s a beach, there’s swimming and laying in the sun, right? Water isn’t very nice looking, though, and its impossible to see anything while diving, but it is clean enough to swim in, and its not health hazardous. You can always choose some other sporting activity, or lounge at the ada safari, a smaller lake, or more of a pond, in one part of an island.
Best of all, most sport activities are free, and others are fairly cheap. Ada has a potential to become even better, and cleaner, but, like many things in Belgrade, it lacks people with rational ideas and money to make those ideas real. Still, its something that many cities don’t have, and that’s its main asset.
You can reach Ada by taking busses 23, 53, or 37 from Zeleni Venac.
