The largest concentration of shops in the downtown area is on Kneza Mihajla Street, Terazije Street, Čika Ljubina Street, Kralja Petra Street and Kralja Aleksandra Boulevard (up to the Monument to Vuk Karadžić). Since you will have seen most of these shops in other European cities, we have decided to draw your attention to the authentic local shops and products.

Serbia’s national drink is rakija (rakia), a strong distilled alcoholic beverage made from various fruits, Šljivovica (plum rakija) being the most popular.  Among Serbs, it is considered to have healing properties, heartily recommended for both external and "internal" use. Rakija is also made from
apricot (Kajsija), grape (Loza), pear (Viljamovka), quince (Dunja), apple (Jabuka), honey (Medovača), while Travarica, Komovica and Kleka are made when rakija is mixed with medicinal herbs. If you want a Šljivovica as a souvenir, we recommend Jelički Dukat, Zlatna dolina, Stara sokolova (Old Falkon), Gorda and Šljivovica from Kovilj Monastery. Rakia&Co, Terazije 42; Tel: 2643-158. Open 9-21, Sunday closed. The largest selection of rakija.
