Belgrade for beginners – city tour, 3-4 hours
Walk with me through the corridors of time of one of the top strategic locations on Earth, where East meets West. From 5000 BC, Celts and Romans to present time, spiced-up with stories of culture and turbulent history, conquests, wars and days of prosper...and ex-Yugoslav, Ottoman, Jewish, Russian, Austro-Hungarian etc. heritage.
You will see the most visited places in the city, from the Republic Square, Knez Mihailova to the Kalemegdan park and Belgrade Fortress, from Bohemian Quarter Skadarlija to sacral objects (Cathedral, Sv. Sava Temple, Synagogue, Mosque…) and museums (National, Museum of Contemporary Art, of Yugoslavia, Nikola Tesla, Illusions…). Not to mention cafes, splavs (river cafes) where you go for a drink, lunch or go out, be it traditional (kafana) or modern restaurants, such as those in Belgrade Port.
Its strategic location made Belgrade a truly multicultural city, where may different cultures lived side by side since ancient times. Therefore, historical tours always include intercultural aspect, tailor-made to your interest and origin, featuring relationships with your own culture and prominent fellow citizens who lived here and made impact on our local culture. Belgrade and Serbia benefited from many of such great intercultural impacts!
Whether you are an outdoor person or a foody, a culture addict or a coffee/craft beer lover, Belgrade will surely have something to offer tailored to your and the taste and interest of the group.
