Belgrade Waterfront is becoming more and more recognizable for the opportunities it provides for numerous sports activities. Whether you are recreational or a professional athlete, in this part of the city you will find the ideal corner for you – from the Sava Promenada, through bicycle paths, to the padel courts, the Sava Park and many events that celebrate the spirit of sport and which you can join for free.
It is important to move and find what pleases you, because the meaning of a healthy and happy life is not in competition, but in enjoying and knowing that we have done something good for ourselves. It doesn’t have to be perfect or the best. It is enough for everyone to give as much as they can. This is confirmed by Milena, manager in a consulting company:
„I love yoga and pilates, especially outdoors. That’s why, instead of going to a studio or gym, I regularly come to Sava Park, where there are many grass areas and natural shade, so it is an ideal environment for practicing yoga. I come here in the morning, spread out the mat and do a gentle exercise for about 20 minutes, without pressure. After that, I am ready for the day ahead.“
Marko, a programmer whose working hours vary, prefers to exercise in the evening. His favorite activity is cycling, and he claims that Belgrade Waterfront is the best part of the city for that:
„I ride a bike wherever I can, but Belgrade Waterfront is the best for cycling because the paths are of the best quality, well lit, so in the evening I don’t have to think about risks and unforeseen circumestances on the road. Sava Promenada is like my little haven. Although in the evening almost the whole city merges there, there is space for everyone and I feel most comfortable there. I can ride a bike, walk, stop to rest, drink a fresh orange juice in my favorite cafe or just look at the river – it is my way of revitalising after a hard day’s work. And that’s why I enjoy every second.“
In addition to being designed to provide optimal conditions for recreation, due to promenade, paths, greenery and parks, Belgrade Waterfront also offers opportunities for collective, i.e. organized sports. From the padel tours, which is slowly becoming a tradition, to the basketball cups and Sports Fair, which offer plenty of fun for fans of physical activity.
Saša, once an athlete, and now a manager, confirms this:
„As a teenager, I tried almost every sport, I even played basketball professionally for a while. However, life took me to the other side, but my affinity for sports remained. I can’t imagine life without daily recreation. That’s one of the reasons why I bought an apartment right in Belgrade Waterfront. There, I have everything in one place – a basketball and futsal court, a jogging track, gyms… Lately, I prefer to play padel with my friends, and Belgrade Waterfront offers even that opportunity. We’re even thinking about commiting to padel and signing up for the tournament – we’re doing so well.“
If you are not the sporty type, in Belgrade Waterfront you will find a way to stay in motion. By that, we don’t just mean a walk by the river, although we definitely recommend it, but the best gyms you can find in the capital. Guests of The Bristol Belgrade and St. Regis hotels, as well as residents of premium buildings, have top welness and spa facilities at their disposal.
„I like to exercise in a nice, well-organized space. It’s important for me that everything is clean, modern and in its place. I don’t like crowds, I prefer exercising indoors, in an atmosphere that exudes style and attention to detail. That’s why the building I live in, BW Terraces, suits me perfectly – there I have everything I need. The gym is superbly equipped, and the water in the swimming pool is always at a pleasant temperature. Everything is arranged just to my taste“, says Sara, who came to Serbia for a couple of months as a digital nomad and stayed here to start a family and a new life, right in Belgrade Waterfront.
Whether you are relaxed by yoga, energized by cycling, motivated by sports like basketball and padel, or you simply enjoy a leisurely walk and swim the most, it is important to find out what works for you. The possibilities are varied, and the right choice is the one that keeps you moving and makes you feel good. Belgrade Waterfront offers everything you need for an active and fulfilling day. It is not about how much, it is how you move. And here, every step makes sense.
