The St Sava Temple most definitely represented a highlight of our several hour visit to Belgrade per our Viking river cruise. This is a massive structure, evidently the largest orthodox Church in the world. The exterior is in if itself quite photogenic, but once you were inside, the mosaics and ubiquitous gold are absolutely overwhelming. It definitely helps to have a guide to help you figure out the symbolism and religious figures who are featured on the walls and ceiling. Evidently there will be an elevator that can bring people to the top of the dome, but that is a work in progress. We would put this site on a par with the Melk Abbey which is farther upstream, an almost obscene use of gold. Without question, if your travels bring you to Belgrade, you will not wish to miss this spot. It is worth mentioning that this evidently is a very famous site for pickpockets, a couple on our tour did see a couple of attempts, but fortunately we did not encounter any, but no doubt there are some visitors who while craning their necks and admiring the ceiling are being relieved of their wallets.

We did quite a bit of walking around Belgrade on 10/09, and ended at this masterpiece orthodox temple. My wife thought rivaled St. Peters in Rome. Pictures of the outside and many of the inside including the fantastic ceilings and of St. Sava.

Don't miss it even if not religious - it's a magnificent church, a true architectural masterpiece. Inside, all the decorations are made from mosaics and it is breath-taking thinking of how much work it took to create all of it. So stunning. Outside there was a mini Christmas market and some souvenir stalls (we travelled in the end of December).

What an an amazing Serbian Orthodox Church - a beautiful place of worship. It was quite the highlight of our day and an absolute must visit when your in Belgrade From the outside I had no clue as to the magnificence of the interior. Absolutely stunning.

The only reason I didn't score excellently in my Cretan is because during the period we went around the temple there was a lot of restoration work going on. Wonderful temple with architecture and decoration. The only thing I didn't like is the entrance ticket to the temple.

Me and my girlfriend went there on Lazereva Subota (Vrbnitsa). There were many families and children, all the joy and happiness around. Everybody was very kind and the temple itself was full with people celebrating. About the temple itself - it was simply amazing. Its worth to visit it and light a candle for health.

Prepare to be amazed! The outside of this Orthodox church is really nice but the inside will blow you away. Very fancy finish on all walls and ceiling. As mentioned in other reviews, it's not finished yet but getting close. Interesting fact about this church, it has no pews/benches so churchgoers need to stand for the full service. That's why attendance is less than hoped for by local clergy.

Beautiful church with ornate mosaics. It’s the largest Orthodox church in Serbia, one of the largest Eastern Orthodox churches and it ranks among the largest churches in the world. Definitely worth seeing when in Belgrade!

One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Worth the walk from the city centre. The church is decorated with ornate mosaics all the way through internally. It simply is breathtaking. You have to see it to believe it. Definitely a must visit place in the city.

Beautiful temple, recently finished. Both the inside and outside are totally worth the visit. The crosses on top of the structure are made of gold, everything from the outside is marble, and the lower floor is beautiful on another level.
