Serbanon here, living in Belgrade. The town is kind of the epicenter of everything in here extending not only to lit but to government, industry, education, media, culture and even transit to a large extent, weirdly enough. It's as if you combined every major city in the United States and got a metropolitan area of 2 million people.

The city is great in my opinion because it's so broad in every way imaginable. Many people hate it and think it's awful with issues such as pollution or traffic and it might as well be the case that quantitatively Belgrade does suck, but the different kind of people you can meet makes up for it. Pic related describes it well, as does architecture in the city in general. The city is vastly varied in style as it can change from building to building. You could find all kinds of specific people someone would want to seek in a smaller or bigger number proportional to how big is that kind of specific thing. I don't know many lit people per se, but I speak with average people about the books they've read and if it's someone a bit more educated, chances are they'll be well-versed in basic /lit/.

A big part of it being so diverse is that you can find a ton of different places to read; brutalist forests of concrete, baroque downtown, extensive parks, riversides and lake with greenery, big new luxury projects, industrial facilities, some pretty ancient buildings. It's really all about picking your poison. My current apartment building was built in 1899 and I find it endlessly enduring.

The only bad side is that it's getting worse by the day, but I'll enjoy while I can.

Oh and the hipsters. Fact of the matter is, it's brimmimg with pseuds, more pseuds than genuine people. But I still get by.
