The setting
Metropol Palace occupies Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 69, the ancient route of the Roman Via Militaris and today Belgrade's grandest boulevard, in the Palilula district. The 1957 building, designed by Dragiša Brašovan and declared a cultural monument in 2001, overlooks Tašmajdan, a park five minutes on foot whose name derives from the Turkish for 'stone mine.' The Nikola Tesla Museum is eight minutes away on foot and the Church of Saint Sava a seventeen-minute stroll. Served by over forty tram and bus lines, the boulevard positions the hotel at the convergence of the capital's cultural, civic, and commercial life, with Republic Square and the National Museum ten minutes by transit. 3 km from Kalemegdan Park.
