Bulevar kralja Aleksandra (Serbian Cyrillic: Булевар краља Александра, "King Alexander Boulevard") is the longest street entirely within the urban limits of Serbian capital Belgrade, with length of 7.5 kilometers.[1] Known for decades after World War II as Bulevar Revolucije (Serbian Cyrillic: Булевар Револуције, "Boulevard of the Revolution"), it is so distinct in the Belgraders' hearts and minds that they simply refer to it as the Bulevar (Serbian Cyrillic: Булевар, "Boulevard), although there are 20 boulevards in Belgrade.
