The vibrant and dynamic nightlife in Belgrade achieved international prominence in the early 21st century.
The splavovi singular splav are located along both banks of the Sava , with numerous clubs along the shores of Ada Ciganlija , and the right bank of the Danube.
Despite the modern nightlife developed in time into various varieties to appeal to the foreign visitors and younger demographics, Skadarlija , a Bohemian quarter with traditional kafanas still remains one of the most visited Belgrade attractions, second only to the Belgrade Fortress.
The city is especially popular in the surrounding region, with numerous weekend-visitors. The growing popularity of Belgrade as fun and entertainment hotspot, especially the "crazy splavovi ", garnered criticism in time.
This typecast promotion made Belgrade's nightlife a focal point for the people searching for low-priced hedonistic, carefree distraction, having a much wider social impact: heavy drinking, drug abuse, crime, prostitution, influence on teenagers and youth and a development of the " reality TV shows influenced splavovi-culture ".
