History
Neighborhood is named after the former numerous hot springs on the bank of the Danube as Viline Vode is Serbian for fairy waters. In the 1980s ambitious plans were developed for Viline Vode which were supposed to transform the neighborhood from industrial into the wealthy residential one with blocks of villas and small residential buildings. City authorities claimed it will be Belgrade's Santa Barbara but the idea was completely dropped and neighborhood was left as it was.
