Constructed throughout the 1st to the 18th century, today represents an outdoor museum. The Pobednik Monument (The Victor), the symbol of Belgrade, is the focal point of the entire area. It comprises the Belgrade fortress, divided into the Upper and Lower town, and Kalemegdan park, which also houses the Zoo.

There are also the Roman Well, the Great Gunpowder Store, the Military Bunker, the Clock Tower, the Military Museum, the Nebojša Tower, and the Gallery of the Natural History Museum. Kalemegdan offers a beautiful view of the confluence of the Sava and the Danube.

The central meeting place in Belgrade, is the starting point of the city tour. The Square, where the past meets the present, is surrounded by historical buildings – National Theatre, built emulating La Scala in Milan; Riunione Palace, housing Boško Buha Theatre and the National Museum, the largest and oldest Serbian museum.

The monument to Prince Mihailo Obrenović, the work of the famous Venetian sculptor Enrico Pazzi, occupies the central area of the Square. It was set up in 1882 in memory of the Prince who improved Serbia's economic and cultural life, and who was assassinated in 1868.

The street rests on the remains of ancient Singidunum built by the Romans, and today connects Terazije Square with Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park.
When the wealthiest and most influential families erected houses on this street in the 1980s, it became the most vibrant shopping mall with elite Belgrade shops and the main promenade of Belgrade. Due to its great historical and cultural significance, the street is protected by the state. There are numerous historical buildings, monuments and cultural institutions: Gallery of the Cultural Center of Belgrade, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade City Library, etc.

Church of St. Sava is one of the world's largest orthodox churches. It was built on Vračar hill, where the remains of St. Sava, the most significant Serbian saint, the first archbishop and founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church from the 13th century, were burned during Turkish rule.
The monument to Karađorđe dominates in front of the Church, as does the building of the National Library of Serbia, with the most extensive book collection in the Balkans. The magnificent fountain in front of the Church provides the space with a unique charm and is Belgrade's favourite meeting place.

Skadarlija became a bohemian part of the city at the turn of the 20th century when actors, writers and painters moved there, and the taverns of Skadarlija became the gathering places of the most famous persons who were part of Belgrade culture. Skadarlija is compared to the Montmartre in Paris in terms of its appearance and cheerful arty atmosphere. In present-day traditional restaurants of Skadarlija and the sounds of traditional urban folk music will help you experience the atmosphere of the bohemian Belgrade from the past.

The Royal and the White Palace on the Belgrade hill Dedinje bear testimony to Serbia's rise, which tragically abrupted World War II. Today, during a 2-hour tour of the Royal complex with professional tour guides, visitors can experience the lifestyle and the atmosphere of the residential complex of the Karađorđević dynasty by going through the salons of the Royal and the White Palace, decorated in the style of Louis XV and Louis XVI with Venetian chandeliers and artworks by painting masters from around the world.

The former Royal park forms a protected environment of immovable cultural assets: the buildings of the New and Old Palaces, the former residences of Obrenović and Karađorđević dynasties, and today the office of the President of the Republic of Serbia and the Belgrade City Assembly. At the entrance to the park there is a stone construction - the Observation Post of the Serbian Army High Command on Kajmakčalan. Slightly outside the park, there is a monument and Memorial museum dedicated to Ivo Andrić, writer, diplomat and Nobel laureate. Opposite the Pioneer Park is the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.

The Museum is housed in the family residence of the industrialist and politician Đorđe Genčić, built-in 1927. The museum’s permanent exhibition displays the most relevant areas of Tesla’s work using photographs, notes, documents and interactive models. This exhibition comprises only a part of Tesla’s legacy. The part of the exhibition, with his personal belongings, objects he used daily and instruments from his laboratories, is extremely popular with the visitors. A particular attraction of this tour is the interactive demonstration of how Tesla’s most relevant inventions operate using their models, including the high-voltage transformer.

The Residence was built at the request of Prince Miloš Obrenović in 1831, as a private residence for his wife Princess Ljubica, who had lived there until the dynasty was deposed in 1842. In terms of architectural styles and room layouts, the Residence belongs to the Balkan style interspersed with western baroque elements. The Residence houses the permanent exhibition “Interiors of Private Houses in Belgrade in the 19th century”, and reflects oriental (Turkish), European – central (Biedermeier) and western influences (neo rococo, Napoleon III and Alt Deutsch styles).

The Millennium Tower on Gardoš Hill, located in the fortress from the 14th century, is the symbol of the Zemun – city within Belgrade. The Tower, widely known as the Tower of Janos Hunyadi, is open daily for visitors. The most exciting part of the Tower is the balcony with a viewpoint.
Old Zemun attracts many visitors with its narrow streets and old buildings from the period of Austro-Hungarian rule, traditionally hospitable people, authentic cuisine and cozy atmosphere in traditional restaurants. We suggest you take a walk during the day on the Zemun promenade along the Danube bank.

This institution is the oldest museum in the country and was founded in 1844. The Museum houses prehistoric collections as well as those from the Classical period, collections of medieval culture and art, collections of paintings from the period between the 18th and the 20th centuries, collections of art pieces by foreign artists and an abundant numismatic collection.
The most valuable exhibit in the National Museum is Miroslav Gospel – the oldest and the most invaluable manuscript written in the Cyrillic script, written around 1190, at the request of Miroslav of Hum. It was recorded in the UNESCO’S Memory of the World Register.

The collection of the Museum of Yugoslavia, i.e. the Museum itself, was created by joining the collections of the Memorial Center “Josip Broz Tito” and the Museum of the Revolution of Yugoslav Peoples. Over 200,000 exhibits chronicle the history of Yugoslavia in the 20th century, with a special emphasis on the life and work of Josip Broz Tito. The Museum of Yugoslavia houses the 25th May Museum, the Old Museum and the House of Flowers.

Savamala, a former industrial district, is a popular area for those in the urban scene. There are many restaurants and bars among the old facades with Baroque, and Art Nouveau features, close to the Sava river. One of the favorite places is Beton Hala, which overlooks the confluence of the Sava and the Danube.
From Beton Hala continues the 1.8 km long Sava Promenade, where you can explore the various gastronomic offer, ride a bicycle or enjoy the river's magic.
Nearby is Manak’s house, a typical example of urban Balkan architecture from the 19th century.

Ada Ciganlija, now officially one of the three most beautiful city islands in the world, Ada Ciganlija on the Sava river, connected with the right bank by two isthmuses creating Sava lake in the process, is the most visited swimming place and picnic area in Belgrade.
This green oasis near the center of Belgrade, known as the “Belgrade sea”, is surrounded by forest, countless cafes, restaurants, cycling tracks and sports fields, and it is lively throughout the year.

Not many metropolises can say that they have a mountain only 16 km from the city center. This favorite spot for an outing in Belgrade offers the opportunity for rest and recreation throughout the year. The Avala Tower, erected as a replica of the old one from 1965, dominates Avala. It is a real pleasure to take the elevator to the top of this tallest structure in the Balkans and look at the entire city and its surroundings.
On the top of Avala is the Monument to the Unknown Hero, erected in the place of the medieval town of Žrnov.

This beautiful park in the center of Belgrade was formed in the area where there was once a quarry, and its name comes from the Turkish word for the place where stones are excavated from the ground. This historically significant area has many activities to offer: you can take a stroll and then relax in the cafes; there is an outdoor fitness center, playgrounds, etc.
On the very perimeter of the park is where its focus lies - St. Mark’s Church, the design of which was inspired by the medieval Gračanica monastery.

In the oldest Belgrade park in the Topčider river valley, besides exuberant greenery, you can also see Belgrade’s rich history. Some of the buildings that were once built there no longer exist, but you can enjoy the greenery, peacefulness and preserved nature located just a few kilometers away from the city center. The main site of the park is the Residence of Prince Miloš, built in 1834 in both Turkish and Balkan styles. In front of this building, there is one of the oldest and most beautiful platanus trees in the whole of Europe (about 190 years old).
