Belgrade has a way of attracting people who know how to find a good night. This time, one of those people was Simone Susinna — the Italian actor who became globally recognisable as Nacho in Netflix's 365 Days trilogy — and he found his way here through Guestlist, our platform for navigating Belgrade's nightlife. The destination: Boho Bar at Kalemegdan Fortress. The verdict: the kind of evening Belgrade does better than most cities.

Who Is Simone Susinna

Born in Catania, Sicily in 1993, Simone Susinna belongs to a rare category of people who seem to have been constructed specifically for the camera. He moved to Milan at 20 on the advice of two stylists who recognised something in him, and quickly became one of the more sought-after faces in European fashion — working with Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, YSL, Louis Vuitton, and Guess, among others. A modelling career of that calibre would be a complete story for most people. Susinna used it as a prologue.

Acting came next, not by plan but by opportunity — as Susinna has described it himself, the invitation to join a Netflix production arrived by chance and he accepted. That chance was the role of Marcello 'Nacho' Matos in 365 Days: This Day (2022) and The Next 365 Days (2022), the sequels to the original Polish-Italian erotic drama that became one of Netflix's most-watched films. Nacho — the charismatic, principled rival to Massimo, who enters Laura's life as something between a protector and a temptation — became the character that turned Susinna from a known face in fashion into a name with a genuinely global following. His Instagram now sits at over 3.3 million followers. More recently, he has added the Prime Video series Heaven in Hell to his credits, deepening a screen career that began by accident and has since become entirely intentional.

What comes through in interviews and in the work itself is a particular kind of discipline. Susinna talks about daily yoga wherever he is in the world, about nutrition and sport as non-negotiables, about surrounding himself with people who radiate positivity. For someone whose public image is built on a certain magnetism, the private reality appears to be considerably more grounded. The combination — the look, the profile, the actual substance behind it — is what makes a visit like his to Belgrade mean something beyond a simple celebrity sighting.

Belgrade Through Guestlist

Susinna came to Belgrade and turned to Guestlist to navigate the city's nightlife. That is, in its simplest form, exactly what Guestlist exists for: giving people — whether they are locals who know the scene or visitors arriving with no prior context — the access and the guidance to have a real Belgrade night rather than a generic tourist approximation of one.

The Guestlist platform covers Belgrade's clubs, bars, events, and the kind of insider knowledge that does not appear on standard travel sites. When someone like Susinna lands in the city and wants to experience it properly — not a hotel bar, not a tourist strip, but the actual Belgrade that locals go to — Guestlist is the infrastructure that makes that possible. His visit is, in that sense, a proof of concept: the platform connecting a globally recognised face to the city's best spaces, on his terms, at the right level.

The Night at Boho Bar

The choice of Boho Bar was fitting in a way that goes beyond coincidence. Boho sits inside the grounds of Kalemegdan Fortress — Belgrade's most historically loaded site, a structure that has watched over the city for centuries from its position above the confluence of the Sava and Danube. The club's aesthetic — desert tones, tribal sounds, intimate capacity, stone walls and open sky — creates a setting that has no equivalent anywhere else in the city. It is the kind of venue that translates well to someone accustomed to the best rooms in Milan, Paris, and beyond: distinctive, considered, and impossible to replicate.

Boho Bar has been one of the defining Belgrade nightlife stories of recent seasons precisely because it commits to a specific identity rather than trying to be all things. The programming — electronic music with emotional depth, a crowd that dresses for the night, events like VOLIM TE JOŠ and upcoming bookings like Mathame in June — reflects a venue that takes its role seriously. For a visitor arriving through Guestlist, it is a natural endpoint. For Susinna, it was the right room on the right night in the right city.

What This Visit Says About Belgrade

Celebrity visits to Belgrade are not unusual. The city has built a genuine reputation on the international circuit — not as a party destination in the budget-weekend sense, but as a place where the nightlife has actual character, where the crowds are invested rather than performative, and where the venues have done the work to create something worth travelling for. That reputation is what brings people like Susinna here, and it is what Guestlist has been documenting and facilitating since the beginning.

There is also something specifically Belgrade about the way this kind of visit unfolds. The city does not fawn. A global Netflix name walks into Boho Bar and the room does not stop — it absorbs him, includes him, and treats him as part of an evening that was already good before he arrived. That quality — the confidence of a nightlife scene that knows its own worth — is harder to manufacture than any individual booking or event. Belgrade has it. Visitors notice. They come back.

Simone Susinna came to Belgrade, used Guestlist to find his way around, and spent the night at Boho Bar inside a thousand-year-old fortress above the river. As introductions to a city go, it is difficult to improve on. Belgrade, for its part, did what it always does: delivered.
