Belgrade Markets:

Open-air markets in Belgrade are visited by hundreds of shoppers each day, since most women, even those who work, somehow try to get their on an almost daily basis. Stalls and sections of markets are  grouped according to their wares, like  locally-produced seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheeses,   a range of homemade baked goods, pickles, jams and fruit preserves. You'll also find self-contained shops selling all types of meats (fresh and smoked) and fish; tucked in among these is a health food store well-stocked with everything from soy milk to organic tofu and dried seaweed. Imported condiments, sauces, and chocolate drink mixes can also be found at cheaper prices than in stores.

Many markets feature much more than just food.  There's always a vast range of fresh-cut, seasonal flowers and potted plants.  Clothing, ranging from casual dresses to sleepwear, socks, and underwear are sold at stalls that also carry second-hand shoes, sweaters, and furs. Hand-made brooms and wooden cutting boards make good, unusual gifts and are very inexpensive. Most markets boast antique housewares dotted throughout the market, even religious candles and Orthodox icons.   Batteries, laundry soap, light bulbs, replacement vacuum bags, inexpensive pots and pans abound. A more recent addition to some markets is an array of pet stalls selling puppies, rabbits, birds, fish, and turtles. If you're hungry, you can find  shops or stands selling roast meats, hot baked pastries, and 'mehike', a sugary cruller.
