Red Belgrade Communist Tour

The journey, in full

You will meet our guide, your comrade at the place where the Communist Yugoslavia had been conceived. The Republic Square is the place where Tito's inspiring speech as an overture for the proclamation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia happened. All along the route of the tour, you'll see socialistic grey edifices belonging to the constructivism era mixed with numerous monuments from the era of the Yugoslavian Kingdom and the last couple of decades. Terazije square will tell you stories about glamorous holidays and festivities, and you will learn about world-known celebrities and untypical guests in hotel Moskva. The former square of Marx and Engels with the high-and-mighty Trade Union Hall will tell you how the cult of work was the ideal of the Yugoslavian society and how one miner became a superstar. At the Pioneer's park, the ritual of the pioneer oath will be the theme, as well as how the socialist regime was the most liberal of all countries within this system. Allowing the influence from the West in music, a change of lifestyle was created. Each good story needs to have dark parts, so in this one, we will share it with you without censure. On your way, you will see the monument of Ivo Andrić, a Nobel Prized Serbian writer and a Serbian ambassador in Berlin at the beginning of World War II. Afterwards, as we would like to provide you with the full experience of the 50 year-long historical period of former Yugoslavia, you will catch a trolley, a symbol of public transportation back then, which is still active. It will bring you to the elite district of Belgrade called Dedinje, famous for numerous embassies and residential villas, but also the complex of the Museum of Yugoslavia. It is devoted to the life and deeds of Josip Broz Tito, the famous communist leader revered as an outstanding man who led the country to a bright future. In the museum, you will see a stunning collection of ceremonial presents given to the Yugoslavian President, one of the most valued being a gift from the crew of Apollo 11. At the end of the tour, you will be introduced with the mausoleum known as the House of Flowers where leader Tito is buried. Thanks, both to the great collection and storytelling, here we will revive the last days of the Former Republic of Yugoslavia. Hopefully, we will bring you back safely to reality from the time when life was tailored by the size of the ordinary man.
