Belgrade Center Walking Tour

The journey, in full

The tour starts from the National Parliament, the monumental building built at the beginning of the 20th century, witnessing the turbulent history of Serbia. Across it are the Old and New palaces, former seats of royal dynasties Obrenovic and Karadjordjevic, nowadays residency of the President and the City Parliament. You will be surprised and dazzled when you discover the mystery surrounding the existence of these royal families. On the next stop, you will „meet" one of the most prominent figures in the history of young and modern Serbia, Nikola Pasic, thanks to whom the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians was created. We continue our journey to Terazije Square – one of Belgrade's central meeting spots since the end of the 19th century. Here you will have a chance to hear how hotel Moskva hosted famous scientists, artists, state officials, and even two camels accompanying a high profile guest from Africa. Afterward, we arrive to the epicenter of the city, Republic Square, surrounded by the National Theatre and National Museum and crowned with the Prince Mihailo monument at the center. Walking through the always lively Knez Mihailo Street, main pedestrian shopping zone, we will reach the capital church of Belgrade where the tombs of some of the most relevant people from Serbian history are located. Across the church is the oldest bar in the city, known for its unusual name "Question Mark -?", as well as the Mansion of Princess Ljubica, the former home of Serbia's first lady. The tour will end at the Belgrade fortress, the most important cultural-historic complex of the city. The tall walls of the fortification raise proudly over the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube and simultaneously witness the history of this ancient city, but also the great love stories of today. The walk begins with the abundant nature of Kalemegdan Park and finishes on the outermost part of the fortress where you can admire the monument dedicated to the Victor, the symbol of the city.
