B. Skadarlija - The old, bohemian quarter of Belgrade, Skadarlija, arose during the late 19th and early 20th century, when its inns were the gathering place for the best known names in Belgrade. It is frequently compared to Montmartre in Paris, both in appearance and in exuberant and dynamic artistic atmosphere. C. Zemun - Once a separate town, Zemun has been a municipality within the city of Belgrade since People had settled in the area of Zemun as long ago as the Neolithic, using the favorable position of the banks of Danube and Sava rivers.
