Belgrade
The Balkans' most underrated city is also its most energetic — a place where the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and communist Yugoslav worlds collide at the confluence of the Sava and Danube. Belgrade's nightlife is genuinely world-famous (the floating clubs — splavovi — on the rivers are unlike anything in Europe), its food scene is excellent and cheap, and its Ottoman-era Kalemegdan Fortress watches over the greatest river confluence in Europe.
