• Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress - Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Belgrade. We won’t be in the vehicle for long as our first stop is Kalemegdan, the oldest and largest park in the city center, along with the magnificent Belgrade Fortress. Starting at Leopold’s Gate, we’ll pass by the remnants of the Roman castrum – Singidunum and the medieval walls built upon it – Zindan Gate, Despot’s Gate, and Jakšića Tower, all dating back to the 15th century. We’ll visit two Orthodox churches in this part of the fortress: the Chapel of St. Petka and Ružica Church (Virgin Mary Church). Entering the Upper Town (Gornji grad), we’ll witness the stunning confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
• Pobednik - We will continue our walk through the Upper Town, seeing the Victor monument by world-renowned sculptor Ivan Meštrovic, one of Belgrade’s landmarks, the Roman well, the King’s Gate, and Sava promenade, the Damat Ali Pasha Tomb, Clock Gate (Sahatkapija), and Clock Tower (Sahatkula). Passing by the Military Museum and through Istanbul’s Gate (Stambol Gate), we’ll re-enter Kalemegdan Park. In the park, there is a Monument of Gratitude to France by Ivan Meštrovic and many busts representing famous Serbian literary figures. Here, we’ll get back into the vehicle and continue our tour.
• Novi Belgrade - As we continue our tour, we’ll see New Belgrade’s impressive modern architecture. Built as a new part of the city after WWII during the socialist regime, it features many remarkable buildings. These include the former Central Committee of the Communist Party, the Federal Executive Council (also known as the Palace of Federation), Genex Tower (Western Gate of Belgrade), and Sava Center, one of the largest congress halls in this part of Europe. Even the famous MOMA museum in New York dedicated a special exhibition called “Toward a Concrete Utopia” to New Belgrade’s architecture. New Belgrade showcases a different side of the city, with buildings that reflect the former Eastern Bloc’s “brutalist” style as well as modern business buildings constructed in recent decades. We’ll also pass by the restaurant “Novak,” owned by the family of famous tennis player Novak Đoković, and the Belgrade Arena, the most important sports venue in this part of Europe.
• Dedinje - After crossing the Gazela Bridge, we’ll head to Dedinje, Belgrade’s most luxurious residential area. Here, we’ll see some of the city’s most beautiful mansions, perfectly nestled in the greenery and tranquility of Topčider Hill. Your guide will share interesting information about the history of these properties and their significance during the turbulent 20th century. We’ll also see the country’s largest soccer stadium, “Rajko Mitić Stadium,” home to Red Star Belgrade, the last club from Eastern or Southern Europe to win the prestigious Champions League. Their biggest rival, Partizan Belgrade, has a stadium just across a small hill, and their rivalry has lasted for more than 70 years.
• Museum of Yugoslavia - We’ll visit the Museum of the History of Yugoslavia and the House of Flowers, the resting place of Josip Broz Tito, the leader of the second Yugoslavia.
• St. Sava Temple - From Dedinje, we’ll head to the Vračar area to see one of Belgrade’s most prominent landmarks, the Church of St. Sava (also known as St. Sava Temple), one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The Temple of St. Sava features an enormous dome visible from all over the city. Besides its size, the church is an undeniably impressive structure. Construction began in the 1930s at the site where occupying Ottoman forces burned the relics of St. Sava (1175-1236), the founder and first archbishop of the independent Serbian Orthodox Church, and one of the most important figures in Serbian history. Built in the Serbian-Byzantine style, the church covers an area of 3,500 m² at floor level, with an additional 1,500 m² in the three galleries on the first level. The dome reaches a height of 70 m, with the central gilded cross adding another 12 m, giving the cathedral a total height of 82 m. Beneath the church floor are vaults and the beautifully decorated crypt of Saint Sava.
• Trg Slavija - After visiting the Temple, we’ll get back into the vehicle and drive through Slavija Square to Nemanjina Street, which houses almost all state governmental institutions: the Government Building, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Staff of the Serbian Army, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Finance, the State Court, etc. These buildings are beautiful examples of Belgrade’s pre-war architecture.
• The National Assembly - Next, we’ll drive through Kralja Milana Street, the city’s main artery, where significant buildings such as the Old and New Royal Palaces are located. We’ll pass by Nikola Pasic Square, which features a monument to the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. We’ll stop in front of the Parliament Building for a short break to take pictures. Here, we’ll also see the Old and New Royal Palaces and hear stories about the two dynasties that ruled Serbia in the 19th and 20th centuries.
• Terazije Fountain - After that, we’ll reach Terazije Square, known for its recognizable 19th-century white stone fountain and one of the city’s most beautiful buildings, the Moskva Hotel.
• Trg Republike - We’ll continue our ride to Republic Square, the heart of the capital, where the city’s most prestigious cultural institutions are located. Here, you’ll learn about the most important buildings surrounding the square, such as the National Museum and National Theatre, and get a brief explanation of why Prince Mihailo is one of the most important figures in Serbia’s modern history. Our tour will end here.
