About this tip
Bajloni, officially the Skadarlija market since 1946, is the working produce market just below the cobbled lane of the same name. It opened in 1927 and is split into four parts, with growers coming in from across Serbia, so walk all four before you buy. It opens early in the morning, which is when the stalls are fullest and the choice of fresh, seasonal food is widest.
