Bombondžija Bosiljčić

Top choice in Belgrade


Literally the last of its kind, this family-owned store is the only remaining one in Belgrade selling handmade sweets. The Bosiljčić family has kept the tradition alive by handing it down for three generations. The sweets include lollipops, all handmade to 1930s recipes, but the speciality is Turkish delight; it's usually made the same day and there are 14 varieties.
