4) 11 a.m. Yugo boss

Yugoslavia was a fascinating conglomerate of Southern Slavs — the literal meaning of “Jugoslavia” — and this museum takes visitors from the post-World War I Kingdom of Yugoslavia through the post-World War II Socialist Yugoslavia, led by the dictator Josip Broz Tito who kept the federation together and peaceful until his death on May 4, 1980. It’s been nearly 40 years since the Uniter-in-Chief passed away, so it’s an appropriate time to visit the Museum of Yugoslavia. Even Tito’s grave — tastefully encased in marble under a glass ceiling — is on the premises in a building called the House of Flowers. You can also see a collection of gifts Tito received from other world leaders and other public figures, including moon rocks that the crew of Apollo 11 gave him. For a unique souvenir, stop by the gift shop to pick up a piggy bank in the form of Tito’s head — in blue, red, black or yellow for 2,500 dinars. Admission is 400 dinars.

5) 1:30 p.m. Balkan fare, the real deal

Since 2014, this sleek, industrial-chic restaurant has been manufacturing meaty Balkan fare. Keep your Lipitor pills within arm’s reach. You may need an artery un-clogger after a meal here. But Manufaktura is worth it. Bacon-wrapped prunes, sausages from Slavonia in Croatia, goulash from the region of Vojvodina in northwestern Serbia, and plates of cheese from all corners of the country round out a menu that will fill any meat eater with palate-pleasing delight. To buttress some of that cholesterol-laden grub, order a shopska salad: chopped cucumber and tomatoes topped with grated goat cheese. Expect to pay about 3,000 dinars for lunch for two.
