Ada Ciganlija is one of the most visited places in Belgrade, and for a good reason. You can go swimming, biking, rollerblading or just enjoy a walk by the lake. The place is full of bars and restaurants and most of them work all year long. During the summer it can get crowded with a seaside atmosphere.
Lake is pretty clean and you can go for a swim if you like. There are lifeguards on duty during the summer season. There’s even a nudist beach at the end of the lake. Most of the bars have their own places on the beach with sunbeds and umbrellas with no extra charge for the guests. In the evening some of the places have live music or some other shows. Some of the bars have sports games on video beams.
You can rent bicycles, rollerblades, pedal boats or you can try waterskiing. Beach sports like beach volley are also available.
You can get to Ada by public transport or a car. Entrance to the lake is FREE. On the lake itself, you can walk or take a truck train (around 150 RSD). There are several train stations on a lake with around 20 minutes schedule (in season). The walking strip around the lake is about 7 km long and will take you about an hour and a half to go around.
One of the most annoying things can be a slow service in bars and cafes especially if it’s crowded during the summer. So get your patience ready and enjoy your stay. If you go off-season it’s a beautiful place to go for a walk and relax.
