A former film set in Serbia, called Drvengrad, is one of the more popular Belgrade day trips out there. This recreated Serbian village was built for the film Life Is a Miracle directed by Emir Kusturica in 2002. Since then Kustendorf, as it’s also known, has become a popular ethno village, showcasing the region’s traditional architecture. But the village also upholds the director’s love of film thanks to the Stanley Kubrick Cinema, in which Kusturica’s films are shown. The streets of Drvengrad are lined with vintage cars and named after famous people both Serbian and international, including Nikola Tesla, Novak Djokovic and Diego Maradona.
