Overview

You'll see the big picture and why Belgrade is like no other European city.

We take you to the selected vantage points, decode monuments and tailor storytelling so 2,000 years of history make sense.

You'll grasp the physical and cultural border between the Balkans and Central Europe.

You'll discover traces of empires who were building and destroying Belgrade and get the historical drama of the fatally strategic location.

You'll unlock the meaning of Belgrade's iconic monuments and landmarks.

You'll get more than meets the eye: enter a church with unique decoration and hear about underground secrets of the Fortress.

By the end of the tour, you're likely to grow a soft spot for Belgrade and Belgraders, a tough little place on the important crossroad of civilizations, where every generation faces a challenge.

  • The Belgrade Fortress
    You'll experience: • Beautiful panoramic views over the rivers and their confluence and New Belgrade and Zemun • Iconic Belgrade monuments and landmarks • Historical and political overview and intrigue, from the descent of Roman Empire to Ottomans and Habsburgs to the Cold War era • Greenery of the park
  • You'll be excited to find out why the Noon bell in all churches in Europe is directly related to Belgrade. Which sultan called the Belgrade Fortress his Contemplation hill.   What happened when Nazis bombed Belgrade in 1941. And what happened when there was a Soviet invasion threat in the 1950ies. Guess which movie maker told the press he felt very inspired after getting underground! We start with the ancient Romans and trace the successive powers who fought for this piece of earth, water and sky. Every step takes you past the gates and walls, dungeons and towers. Every sight is a monument and memory of war and peace, life and death, rise and fall of empires and people that left their mark in time. 
  • Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress
    Panoramic views and sunset watching! For the romantics we recommend scheduling the tour around sunset. Sunset in Belgrade is around 5.30 in autumn, 4.30 pm in winter, around 6 pm in April and May and after 7 pm in summer. The views from the Fortress include the rivers Sava and Danube, their confluence and two other towns that belong to Belgrade. New Belgrade, once the capital of Socialist Yugoslavia, and Zemun, a quiet Central European looking place.
