Itinerary
-
Belgrade Fortress
- Begin the walking tour at Kalemegdan, a park that surrounds Belgrade Fortress. This is a place where even the most distant past of the city comes into focus, and where Belgrade started as a human settlement a very long time ago. It is the most logical spot to begin unfolding the unusual and exciting story about the 'Crossroads of the Worlds'.
- Walk through 'Stambol' and 'Clock' gates and enjoy an open-air exhibition of the Military Museum.
- Proceed to the 'King's Tower' and 'Zindan Gate', and visit The Rose Church of Our Lady.
- Enjoying superb views of the confluence of Sava and Danube rivers, New Belgrade, Zemun, and Victor Monument, one of the symbols of the city.
- Continue through 'King's Gate' and explore the rest of the Kalemegdan Park, getting to know its various monuments.
-
The Patriarchate and its Surroundings
- Leave the Kalemegdan Park, passing by the beautiful Embassy of France and the Embassy of Austria as we walk along the pleasant streets.\
- Arrive at the Patriarchate of the Serbian Orthodox Church and St. Michael's Orthodox Cathedral that date back to the 19th century. Here, you will learn more about the religious traditions of the Serbian nation.
- Enjoy a refreshment break in "?" Inn, or the Question mark Inn, Belgrade's oldest tavern, set up in 1823 in the days of the Ottoman Empire. Here, you will get a chance to try traditionally-made and served Turkish coffee in an authentic historical interior.
-
Knez Mihajlova Street and Republic Square
- Walk down the Knez Mihajlova pedestrian street, which is far the oldest street in Belgrade. According to scholars, it follows the central grid layout of the Roman city known as Singidunum, which existed almost 2000 years ago. It has a large number of impressive buildings and mansions built in the 19th century and is protected by law as one of the most valuable landmarks of the city.
- End the tour at the Republic Square, the real heart of Belgrade, with buildings of the National Theatre, and National Museum, and a well-known equestrian statue of Prince Michael (Knez Mihajlo).
