Beograd

The guidebook warned us that Belgrade was not a pretty city, but after a couple days of wandering we thought it was one of the prettier cities we'd seen. There are several pedestrian streets, big parks, numerous galleries and museums, and a large fortress complex. Even better, the city was ready to sell itself -- we had so many free maps and guides that we (briefly) considered staying longer.

Do you see a tiny sign on the balcony 6 floors up for our hostel?

Neither did we. Fortunately there was a man near the train station who knew where it was.

Our first stop was the Nicola Tesla museum, a small and understated tribute and final resting place of the inventor who almost led humanity through 2 great revolutions in science. Before the man shut him down!
Tesla's remains:

Wireless transmission of energy!
