22 Top Things to do in Belgrade, Serbia
By Carl Austin · Last updated on May 4, 2024
With its turbulent, war-torn past, Belgrade is like a phoenix rising from the ashes to become one of today’s hottest European capitals. Belgrade, home to two million people, is a pretty city sitting at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers.
You’ll want to walk along the river banks, perhaps stopping for a drink or meal at a riverboat that’s been converted to a restaurant before visiting the attractions in Belgrade. The Serbian capital is fast becoming known as a center for international festivals; hosting more than 100 a year, for sure there will be one going on whenever you visit.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade, Serbia](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Belgrade.jpg)
Equal parts complex, turbulent, tragic, beautiful and magical, Belgrade epitomizes the Balkan region. It’s long been a part of the world that has seen great and seemingly unending turnover and it’s time like these, in relative peace, that you can explore the stories that are written across the city’s varied architecture and public squares.
22. White Palace
![tourist map of belgrade serbia White Palace](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/White_Palace.jpg)
As the name suggests, the White Palace is a Serbian royal palace completely encased in white. The off-white cream colors provide the palace with a sense of warmth. Something only enhanced by the beautiful rose gardens and surrounding trees.
The White Palace is a part of a much larger royal compound in the Dedinje district. It was originally constructed as the childhood home for the children of King Alexander I, something that was put on hold after his assassination.
The best and only way to explore the White Palace is on a guided tour. This will allow you inside to explore the grandiose palace alongside some of the other royal buildings.
21. Museum of Aviation
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Museum of Aviation](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Museum_of_Aviation.jpg)
Housed in one of Belgrade’s most unique buildings (an enormous reflective mushroom), the Museum of Aviation explores the aeronautical history of Serbia and Yugoslavia.
On the outskirts of Belgrade, the museum stands out alongside the airport and open fields. The fascinating facade is matched by the informative interior that covers the timeline of flight in the country from the start of the 20th century to the present day.
To aid in this trip into the past, the Museum of Aviation features some iconic aircraft. These include the Spitfire Mk V, Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Ilyushin Il-2, some of WWII’s most important aircraft. The fact these planes are lathered with Yugoslavian livery while being German, Russian and British planes gives an interesting insight into the country’s past.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Zemun](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/zemun.jpg)
One of the most fun things to do in Belgrade, you can easily spend a day exploring the cozy suburb of Zemun. Part of what makes it so interesting is the neighborhood was once an entirely separate town.
Its long history includes a part in the Roman, Byzantium, Ottoman, and even Mongol empires. As Belgrade expanded, it essentially swallowed Zemun. However, it remains a completely unique part of the city.
There are dozens of eye-catching landmarks along the old streets and down the Kemunski Kej promenade. These include the beloved 17th century Madlenianum Opera and the Gardos Tower. The latter offering incredible views of the rolling Danube River.
So put your walking shoes on, as the chill neighborhood of Zemun is best explored on foot.
19. Museum of Yugoslavia
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Museum of Yugoslavia](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Museum_of_Yugoslavia.jpg)
If the National Museum explores the contemporary life and times of Serbia, then the Museum of Yugoslavia goes further into the region’s wider history.
Yugoslavia, which included Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and other nations was officially founded in 1918 (renamed in 1929) and separated in 1991. Despite an often-complicated past, there are some who wish to return to the days of Yugoslavia. The phenomenon even has a name, Yugo-nostalgia.
The museum keeps this idea alive while immortalizing this period in the region’s chapter. Exhibitions explore 20th century life and important events, including WWII. While former presidents are even buried onsite, within the House of Flowers.
18. Topcider Park
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Topcider Park](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Topcider_Park.jpg)
In 1521, the Turks cast their cannons for their attack on Belgrade in what is now Topcider Park. It’s apt then, that Topcider translates to cannons in Turkish.
Topcider is one of Belgrade’s most popular parks. It’s been a go-to spot for picnics ever since the giant sycamore tree was planted in the 1800s.
South of the city center, the sprawling park has a grand mix of culture, architecture, and green space. You’ll find a quaint church and restaurant within the park grounds alongside the opulent Residence of Prince Miloš.
In the summer, you’ll hear life tunes float between the trees. While crowds slowly gather at sunset, to watch the sky turn into colorful candy.
17. National Assembly
![tourist map of belgrade serbia National Assembly](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/National_Assembly.jpg)
Originally built as a representative building for the Kingdom of Serbia, the National Assembly is a different kind of Belgrade highlight. In Nikola Pašić Square, the Assembly boasts a striking presence.
From afar, you can admire the seven domes spread across the top of the building. The central dome towers above the rest, affixed with an additional bell tower.
The arched windows and opulent columns beckon you forth. Once you’re inside, you’ll be able to explore the main entrance hall, several grand halls, the library, and the Salon of Prince Pavle. Along the way, you’ll pass beloved artwork by the likes of Petar Lubarda and Sava Šumanović.
Guided tours are highly recommended.
16. Museum of Illusions
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Museum of Illusions](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Museum_of_llusions.jpg)
Belgrade’s museums and galleries are complex and fascinating as they guide you through Serbia’s tangled heritage. But, eventually you’ll want to switch things up and there’s no better spot to do just that than at the Museum of Illusions.
The museum is complete with over 70 exhibits, each as mind-blowing and head scratching as the last. As you awe in amazement, you’ll be tasked with figuring out how these intriguing illusions are able to confuse and trick your mind so successfully.
It’s a great place to have a bit of fun, which is handy for traveling families. But all who visit will leave with a better understanding of the “whys” behind optical illusions.
15. Ruzica Church
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Ruzica Church](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Ruzica_Church.jpg)
The oldest church in Belgrade, Ruzica Church, can be found along the edges of the Belgrade Fortress. In fact, part of the historic church can be found tucked into its walls, underneath the Zindan gate.
As you wander inside, you’ll uncover the church’s hauntingly beautiful, frescoed walls. They slowly drag your attention towards the ceiling’s chandeliers. As you look closer, you’ll notice that they’re made of old swords, bullet casings and parts of ancient cannons.
The chandeliers pay homage to what has been turbulent past for the church grounds. It’s been held by a handful of nations and was destroyed in WWI. It was during this period that soldiers made use of their time by crafting these incredible roof fixings.
14. National Museum Belgrade
![tourist map of belgrade serbia National Museum Belgrade](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/National_Museum_Belgrade.jpg)
For almost two decades, the National Museum Belgrade stumbled through closures, needing vital renovations. But 2018 it reopened to great reactions from Serbians. With its latest makeover, visitors can explore the lengthy history of Serbia and the region.
As the largest and oldest museum in the country, there’s no better way to understand the complexities of Serbia’s past than right here. With the help of immersive exhibits, Serbia’s best collection of art (some dating back to the 1300s) and archaeological finds, you’ll leave with a far greater appreciation.
Some of the highlights include ancient artifacts that explore Roman occupation, the evolution of the nation’s rulers and a dramatic 20th century.
13. Republic Square
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Republic Square](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Republic_Square.jpg)
The main plaza in Belgrade, the Republic Square, is the official hub for locals and a great place for travelers to sit back and watch. The square is always busy, but never overwhelming. It creates a great atmosphere to enjoy a coffee or a light lunch.
As you do so, you may begin to recognize some of Belgrade’s most celebrated buildings. It’s more than just the city’s social hub, it’s also home to the art nouveau facade of the National Museum. In addition, you’ll spot the 19th century National Theatre, which still operates today.
However, perhaps the most memorable is the Prince Mihailo Monument. This statue has become a symbol of Belgrade, and a reason why the square is also called By the Horse.
12. Residence of Princess Ljubica
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Residence of Princess Ljubica](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Residence_of_Princess_Ljubica.jpg)
Built in the late 1820s, the Residence of Princess Ljubica is one of just a few remaining from this period in Belgrade’s history. Under the rule of Prince Milosh Obrenovic, the Residence was initially slated to be a luxurious court. This all changed as Milosh only stayed there occasionally because the Ottoman Turks laid just around the corner.
The home bounced between royal members for several decades until it became a place for public institutions. This includes being a secondary base for the Belgrade City Museum.
It’s time as various museums and galleries have helped its modern iteration. Today visitors can see the lavish lives of 19th century bourgeois culture.
11. Belgrade Military Museum
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Military Museum](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Belgrad_Military_Museum.jpg)
Appropriately placed within the city’s behemoth fortress, the Belgrade Military Museum offers a thorough look into the events of the former Yugoslavian army. The many displays are quite moving and allow visitors to immerse themselves in the events of the past.
Before you even enter the museum, you’ll be confronted with German WWII tanks, cannons, and torpedoes. Once you venture inside, you’ll find it all laid out in chronological order, taking you right back to the very beginning and into ancient history.
The going gets more interesting once you reach the World War I section that explores the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. All before reaching a dramatic crescendo with the culmination of WWII.
10. Avala Tower
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Avala Tower](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Avala_Tower.jpg)
The Avala Tower, built in 1965 and destroyed by NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999, was rebuilt in 2010, becoming the tallest telecommunications tower in the Balkans. The original tower, with an observation deck, was a source of pride for the region.
Public donations paid for the tower’s rebuilding. It can be found on Avala Mountain on the outskirts of Belgrade. At 206 meters (675 feet) high, it is the fifth tallest structure in Serbia; you can literally see for miles and miles from the observation deck.
9. House of Flowers
![tourist map of belgrade serbia House of Flowers](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/house_of_flowers.jpg)
Josip Broz Tito led the Yugoslav Partisans in World War II, later going on to become president of Yugoslavia. A respected leader in the international stage, he died in 1980; he and his wife are burred at the House of Flowers, also known as Tito’s Mausoleum.
For a while, flowers surrounded his tomb, giving rise to the name House of Flowers; the flowers are gone now, replaced by white rocks. It was built in 1975 as a winter garden for Tito, who chose to be buried here. The mausoleum today is part of the Museum of Yugoslav History.
8. Gardos Tower
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Gardos Tower](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/gardos_tower.jpg)
The Gardos Tower is but a youngster when compared to ancient or medieval monuments; it was constructed in 1896. But it’s just as impressive as anything built centuries earlier. It’s also known as the Millennium Tower or the Tower of Janos Hunyadin, a Hungarian hero who died more than 400 years ago on the site of an earlier fortress.
Some ruins from the earlier fortress remain today. Originally one of five towers built by the Hungarians to celebrate 1,000 years of rule in the region, the landmark is located in Zemun, 20 km (13 miles) from Belgrade.
7. Nikola Tesla Museum
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Nikola Tesla Museum](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Nikola_Tesla_Museum.jpg)
Well over a century ago, Nikola Tesla energized electricity, inventing the AC system, the electric coil and related items. Generations later, these inventions would lead to a car named after him, the Tesla electric car. They also led to a museum dedicated to his work in central Belgrade.
The Nikola Tesla Museum contains thousands of documents, books, photographs and drawings related to his work of electrifying the world. The museum also houses interactive exhibitions including computerized models of his inventions.
6. Crkva Svetog Marka
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Crkva Svetog Marka](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Crkva_Svetog_Marka.jpg)
One of the city’s most significant landmarks, Crkva Svetog Marka, belongs on your Belgrade itinerary. The modern version of the Church of Saint Mark was complete in 1940, but the story of the church goes back several centuries.
This architectural gem features beautiful Serbo-Byzantine influences and, until recently, was the largest in Belgrade. The striking facade and multiple towering domes shimmer at night. But what lies within is just as captivating.
As you walk in, you’ll be met with vibrant iconography and frescoes. These were created alongside works by some of Serbia’s most celebrated artists. In addition, the tomb of Emperor Dušan ‘The Mighty’, who passed in 1355, lies within the church.
5. Knez Mihailova Street
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Knez Mihailova Street](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Knez_Mihailova.jpg)
Every city has one: a street that oozes charm, is lined with historic buildings and is where shoppers snap up bargains. In Belgrade, this street is Knez Mihailova Street, named after a Serbian prince. Less than a mile long, the street dates back to the Ottoman days, though it never really came into its own until the 19th century when the wealthy started building homes here.
Historic buildings along its path include Srpska Kruna Hotel, built in 1869; private homes at 46, 48 and 50 Knez Mihailova, that date from the 1870s, and Greca Kraljica, a coffee shop in an 1835 building.
4. Temple of Saint Sava
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Temple of Saint Sava](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Saint_Sava.jpg)
With a 134-meter (440-foot) high dome, the Temple of Saint Sava dominates Belgrade’s skyline. To make it even taller, the dome is topped with a gold cross almost 12 meter (40 feet) high.
The largest Orthodox church in use today, it is dedicated to Saint Sava, an important medieval personage who founded the Serbian Orthodox church. It is located on the Viacar Plateau, where Saint Sava is thought to be buried.
Construction on the white marble and granite church started in 1935, halted during World War II and resumed in 1985. Though it is still under construction today it is already one of the most popular attractions in Belgrade.
3. Ada Ciganlija
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Ada Ciganlija](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/ada_ciganlija.jpg)
Ada Ciganlija is an island cum artificial peninsula in the Sava River/Lake that runs through central Belgrade. With its pretty beaches and sports facilities, Ada draws upwards of 100,000 visitors a day during the summer.
Nicknamed “Belgrade’s Sea,” Ada’s peninsula is filled with thick forests that resemble a wilderness area, so you might see deer, rabbits and fox. Houseboats, a weekend retreat for Belgrade residents, can be found at the northern end.
Ada Ciganlija is an athlete’s dream with dozens of sports facilities ranging from tennis to rugby to rowing, with artificial facilities for alpine skiing and snowboarding.
2. Skadarlija Street
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Skadarlija Street](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Skadarlija.jpg)
Skadarlija Street may not be very long, just 400 meters (1,340 feet), but it’s the most famous street in Belgrade. Located in the Old Town, it connects Despot Stefan Boulevard with Dusanova Street. The street is lined with vintage buildings.
With a bohemian atmosphere, Skadarlija Street is considered Belgrade’s version of Montmartre in Paris. In fact, it was known as the Gypsy quarter in the 19th century. It’s a place where poets gather for Skadarlija Evenings at the house of the late poet Dura Jaksic, and where the Children’s Street Theater performs circus acts. The restaurants and outdoor cafes welcome diners, including celebrities, from all over.
1. Belgrade Fortress
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Fortress](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/belgrade_fortress-1.jpg)
It’s hard to believe the Belgrade Fortress has been destroyed 40 times thanks to 115 onsite battles over the centuries. But, with each stone and turreted tower falling, the fortress imposing aura remains.
Also known as the Kalemegdan Fortress, it all began under Celtic rule, with its fortifications enhance once the Romans arrived. But it was the work of Turkish and Austro-Hungarians through the 18th century that led the fortress to its current design.
Hanging out in the surrounding Citadel, you’ll find a mix of contrast. The fortress’ bloody past can be seen throughout. It’s, however, interrupted by cute cafes, museums, and monuments. Under the summer sun, live music rings through the old streets. While the Kalemegdan Park is the place for picnics and people watching.
Best Time to Visit Belgrade
Located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, Serbia’s capital Belgrade sees the most visitors from May through October. This is the sunniest and warmest time of the year with average temperatures ranging from 18 to 27°C (64-80°F).
While July and August are by far the busiest and most expensive, they are also when loads of exciting events are held. Aside from attending concerts and exploring the centre, this is a great time to experience the city’s nightlife. If you need to cool off, then the Ada Ciganlija River Island has lots of cafes, beaches and spots to swim.
June also sees the popular Belgrade Beer Fest take place while the Belgrade Music Festival is October’s biggest attraction along with the Jazz Festival.
Although the city never really sleeps or stops, November to March is the low season as most visitors are put off by the worsening weather. Winter sees temperatures drop to around 4 to 6°C (39-43°F) with it sometimes snowing.
Things pick up around April when all the beautiful spring flowers and sunshine lighten up the capital again.
Where to Stay in Belgrade
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Hotel](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/belgrade_hotel.jpg)
As always, the best areas to stay in Belgrade will place you within walking distance of the city’s highlights. Here, the place to stay is within the Old Town, aka Stari Grad, around the Republic Square.
A short walk from this cultural epicenter is the Amsterdam Hotel . This space has all the modern amenities alongside a la carte breakfast, a rooftop dining area, along with a pool and sauna.
The area around Tasmajdan Park is another happening area to stay. You’ll find yourself close to the Tesla Museum and St Mark’s Church. Hotel Argo is an inexpensive hotel just across from the park. Its modern rooms overlook the Belgrade Palace and come with private bathrooms and flatscreen TVs. There is also an on-site bar, while you’ll have great access to bus and train stations within walking distance.
How to get there
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Tram](https://www.touropia.com/gfx/b/2016/08/Belgrade_Tram.jpg)
With a central location in the Balkan region, there are many ways to get to Belgrade. The city’s airport is the main hub in Serbia, so you can find direct flights from many European destinations. From the airport, you can take either Bus #72 or Minibus A1 to downtown Belgrade.

25 Best Things to Do in Belgrade (Serbia)
Is there a European capital with a more turbulent history than Belgrade? At the frontier of empires and the junction of the great Danube and Sava rivers, this is one of the oldest cities on the continent. As proof of the constant war and upheaval few buildings in Belgrade are older than a couple of hundred years.
But Belgrade is no less compelling for its tumultuous past, blending high culture with a fun-loving spirit. You can sense this lust for life on Skardarlija, the Bohemian street, or the splavovi, party boats that are moored on the Danube and Sava. Belgrade’s fortress dominates the cityscape, while orthodox churches and palaces for the Serbian royalty cropped up after Serbia won independence in the 19th century.
Let’s explore the best things to do in Belgrade :
1. Belgrade Fortress
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Fortress](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_403546495.jpg)
On a tall ridge where the Danube and Sava rivers meet, Belgrade Fortress used to contain the entire city and has lived through 2,000 years of conflict.
All of that bloodshed seems very distant when you see the young couples arm-in-arm in Kalemegdan Park, watching the sun go down over Zemun.
They’ll find perches on the ramparts and secluded cubby holes among the angular remnants of the anti-artillery bastions and ravelins built by the Ottomans in the early modern ages.
There’s history at every turn in the fortress, from the Roman well to the medieval gate of Despot Stefan Lazarević.
But Pobednik (Victor) is the postcard monument, a statue wielding a sword and falcon atop a Doric column.
This dates to 1928 and commemorates Serbia’s defeat of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empire in WWI.
2. Skadarlija
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Skadarlija, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_173197967.jpg)
Car-free and paved with bumpy cobblestones, Skadarlija has been a bohemian haunt since the 1800s and is Belgrade’s answer to Montmartre.
Like its Parisian counterpart, Skadarlija’s glory days were in the early 1900s when famous but cash-strapped Serbian singers, musicians, writers and poets lived, worked and performed here.
That Belle Époque spirit lingers in the iron gaslights, restaurant terraces, foliage, awnings and the trompe l’oeil facade on the opposing wall.
Come for the cafes nightlife, traditional Serbian food like roštilj (grilled meat), and to take in the art displays and street performers as you go.

3. Church of St Sava
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Church of St Sava, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_1016682130.jpg)
The largest Orthodox Church in the Balkan region, and the second largest in the world, St Sava is an ever-present monument in Serbia’s capital.
High on the Vračar plateau, you can see the church’s white granite and marble walls from any approach to Belgrade, while the 50 bells that sound noon ring out across the city.
The temple is built on the site where the Ottoman Grand Vizier Sinan Pasha burned St Sava’s relics after his icon had graced flags during a Serbian uprising in 1594. Construction began in 1935, 340 years after that event, and ended in 1989. The biggest challenge was raising the central dome, all 4,000 tons of which was assembled on the ground and hoisted into place.

4. Ada Ciganlija
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Ada Ciganlija, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_688451533.jpg)
This island on the Sava has been reclaimed and turned into a peninsula, and is somewhere for Belgradians to let their hair down and be active.
Even though Ada Ciganlija is in the middle of the city, it has been left to nature, and is still cloaked with mature elm and oak forest.
On the south side the Sava is impounded, forming the Savsko jezero lake.
On any given summer’s day Ada Ciganlija is thronged with people jogging, rowing and kayaking on the lake, playing golf, tennis, basketball or just basking in the greenery.
But it’s the pebble beach that is the main draw, known as “Belgrade’s Seaside” and traced with bars and restaurants.
These provide picnic tables and deckchairs and are open into the night.
5. Knez Mihailova Street
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Knez Mihailova Street, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_383722336.jpg)
Extending diagonally through Stari Grad from the fortress to Republic Square, Knez Mihailova is a pedestrianised street and somewhere for Belgradians to shop and go out.
On what is one of the most expensive streets in the city per square metre, Knez Mihailova has upmarket boutiques and international high street brands like Sephora, Zara and Gap.
These are joined by scores of restaurant and bars, so if you come almost any time of day or night and you’ll encounter throngs of shoppers, couples or revellers.
And towards the fortress the way is lined with eye-catching rows of stuccoed Neoclassical mansions with quoins and cornices.
6. Gardoš Tower
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Gardos Tower, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_567341266.jpg)
In the oldest part of Zemun, a monument from the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is lifted over the right bank of the Danube.
The Gardoš Tower is also known as the Millennium Tower as it was built in 1896 to celebrate 1,000 years of Hungarian settlement on the Pannonian Plain.
With an Eclecticist design it was constructed over the ruins of a medieval fortress and was one of several big projects around what was then Hungary to mark that anniversary.
Inside is a small exhibition about the storied history of Zemun and Gardoš, while you can head to the top for a supreme view of the Danube and the confluence.
Recommended tour: Belgrade 8-hour Big Tour with Entrance Fees
7. Nikola Tesla Museum
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Nikola Tesla Museum, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_170208545.jpg)
This museum presents the life and work of the great physicist, inventor and electrical engineer and Serbian national hero.
The exhibition is in two main sections: The first is a study of Tesla the man, sourcing personal effects, photographs and correspondence to paint a clearer picture of his life and travels.
The second is an often interactive exhibition of his work, with either originals, 3D renders or fully-functioning reproductions like an induction coil producing discharges at 500,000 volts.
For deeper scientific rigour you can take the English-speaking tour, given by students from Belgrade University’s Engineering Department.
8. St Mark’s Church
![tourist map of belgrade serbia St Mark's Church, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_424908133.jpg)
This cavernous Neo-Byzantine church is one of the largest in Serbia, and although its outer structure was completed during the 1930s interior works are ongoing.
The sublime iconostasis for instance was only completed in the 1990s: The frame is marble, while the icons inside and the painting of the last supper were composed by Đuro Radulović, an academic painter from Belgrade.
Work on the crypt began in 2007 under the narthex, and tombs of 19th-century clergy and Serbian royalty were transferred here.
These had been in the old St Mark’s, founded directly after Serbian independence and wrecked during the German bombing of Belgrade in 1941.
9. Republic Square
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Republic Square, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_416057194.jpg)
At the southern end of Knez Mihailova is Republic Square, with some of the city’s most important landmarks and a business district where Belgrade is at its most dynamic.
More than 20 trolleybus and bus lines converge at this one place, so it’s the meet-up of choice for many Belgradians.
The Serbian National Theatre and National Museum are here, as is the Prince Mihailo Monument.
Designed by the Italian sculptor Enrico Pazzi, this statue is of Mihailo Obrenović, Prince of Serbia twice in the mid-1800s and a key figure in the Balkans’ independence from the Ottoman Empire.
10. Zemunski Kej
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Zemunski Kej, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_643078594.jpg)
Also known as Kej Oslobođenja (Quay of Liberation), this waterside promenade is the best place in Belgrade to take in the Danube.
Starting just below the Gardoš Tower is a long green area, with plane trees and sumptuous views of Europe’s second-longest river just where it joins with the Sava.
These banks used to be flooded every year but engineering works have raised the embankment, while the pedestrian path has been widened to accommodate leisurely waterside ambles.
There are restaurants every few steps, many on barges and other old vessels (splavovi), while a small fleet of boats are waiting if you’d like a trip on the Danube.
11. Residence of Princess Ljubica
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Residence of Princess Ljubica](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_691514665.jpg)
A rare survivor from the first reign of Prince Miloš Obrenović, this palace dates to the beginning of the 1830s and was supposed to be a lavish seat for the Serbian court.
But the continued presence of the Ottomans meant that it was never used for that purpose.
Prince Miloš was only an occasional visitor until he was forced to abdicate in 1839 and the Obrenović family was expelled.
The permanent exhibition is a series of richly-furbished rooms with authentic period items assembled from various homes once owned by Belgrade’s bourgeois and royal families.
You’ll track the transition from the oriental Ottoman style on the lower floor to more western European decoration that was en vogue later in the 19th century.
12. Avala Tower
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Avala Tower](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_69692299.jpg)
This communications tower, the tallest structure in the Balkans, is an easy drive from Belgrade.
You could also catch the bus from Voždovac/Banjica or the tourist shuttle, which departs at intervals on weekends from Nikola Pašić Square.
Crowning Mount Avala, it’s another symbol for Belgrade and is a monument with a chequered past.
The tower was completed in 1965 but razed during the NATO bombing of Belgrade in 1999. The four-year reconstruction was finished in 2010 and for a couple of hundred dinar you can catch the elevator to the observation deck 135 metres up and with a panoramic cafe.
Recommended day trip : Avala Tower, Oplenac Royal Complex and Etno
13. Belgrade Military Museum
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Military Museum](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_785202475.jpg)
Exploring the Belgrade Fortress you might bump into a cache of modern military hardware along one of the ramparts.
Lined up are deactivated mines, German panzers and torpedoes, while there are also antique cannons on the outer still arming the gun emplacements on the outer wall.
It all belongs to the military museum, which has been in the fortress since 1878. In the galleries is a hoard of weapons going back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, with helmets and blades more than 2,000 years old.
From medieval times there are gauntlets and other armour, shields, axes, swords forged both in the Balkans and western Europe.
As you move into modern times the museum handles more sensitive subject matter, displaying some NATO equipment from 1999, including a captured Humvee and fragments of purported cluster bombs.
14. Museum of Yugoslav History
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Museum of Yugoslav History](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_206748475.jpg)
Another contentious but informative attraction is the mausoleum of former authoritarian President Josip Broz Tito, and the museum that was set up around it in the 2000s.
This covers the history of the former country of Yugoslavia, which as you’d expect inspires a gamut of emotions and memories, but in Belgrade these are generally positive.
The museum is the equivalent of a Presidential library and exhibits all of the gifts Tito amassed during his rule from 1953 to 1980. There are more than 200,000 artefacts in total, and among the many things worth tracking down are the ceremonial batons used in relays to mark Tito’s birthday every year.
These would then be presented to him in the stadium of the Yugoslav People’s Army.
15. National Theatre
![tourist map of belgrade serbia National Theatre, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_744127936.jpg)
On Republic Square the National Theatre is somewhere to go for a feast of high culture at a very affordable price.
The venue opened in 1869, and has come through war damage and a few architectural updates to remain an esteemed beacon of Serbian culture.
During the day you can go on a backstage tour to discover how the wardrobes and scenery are stored and maintained, and will be treated to an aria by the theatre’s singers in residence.
There’s a varied schedule of drama, opera and ballet at the theatre, always high brow and always unbelievably affordable thanks to state subsidies.
Front stalls are from as little as $7 and boxes aren’t much more.
16. Museum of Aviation
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Museum of Aviation, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_437311423.jpg)
Belgrade’s aviation museum is in a striking geodesic glass building from 1989 next to the city’s airport.
You can catch the 72 bus out there from the station in Zeleni Venac.
The museum has more than 200 aircraft belonging to the Serbian military as well as private collectors and clubs.
These range from biplanes like the Tiger Moth, Yugoslav Zmaj Fizir and Soviet Polikarpov to Second World War Messerschmitt and Spitfire fighters, as well as bombers like the Lockheed Lightning.
There are also more recent artefacts from the NATO bombing campaign in 1999, including the wreckage of a F-117 and a MQ-1 Predator drone.
17. St Michael’s Cathedral
![tourist map of belgrade serbia St Michael's Cathedral, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_769697074.jpg)
Walking distance from both the fortress and Princess Ljubica’s Residence, Belgrade’s Neoclassical cathedral is from the 1830s and was instrumental in Serbia’s fight for independence.
It is just the latest version of a monument going back to the 1500s and repeatedly torn down during the Ottoman Empire.
Note the liberal use of gold leaf in the icons and murals, painted by Dimitrije Avramović and the iconostasis and choir by Dimitrije Petrović who had been trained in Vienna.
Both men are considered among the foremost Serbian artists of the age.
The cathedral holds the relics of the 14th-century king and saint Stefan Uroš V and the tombs of national heroes like Vuk Karadžić, who reformed the Serbian language in the 1800s.
18. Stari Dvor and Novi Dvor
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Stari Dvor, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_320204468.jpg)
Any tour of the city needs to include the Old and New Palaces built for the Obrenović and Karađorđević royal families respectively.
The pair face each other across the Andrićev Venac square as part of a grand ensemble on Kralja Milana.
The Old Palace dates to the 1880s and has Beaux-Arts architecture, with interiors imported wholesale from Vienna.
This now houses Belgrade’s city assembly, open to occasional tours.
The New Palace meanwhile also has Revivalist architecture and was completed in 1922 following damage during the First World War.
Its facade is dominated by a two-storey colonnade of Ionic columns and the palace is now the residence for the President of Serbia.

19. House of the National Assembly of Serbia
![tourist map of belgrade serbia House of the National Assembly of Serbia](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_536251081.jpg)
The seat of Serbia’s National Assembly may well be the finest and most photogenic building in Belgrade.
Previously this home to Yugoslavia’s Parliament, and following that state’s breakup, the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro.
Given its official purpose, access to this imposing Beaux-Arts building is restricted but you could enquire with Belgrade’s tourist board about a tour as these are organised every now and again.
The rest of the time it’s a landmark for a photo stop, either by day or illuminated at night.
No surprise that this iconic monument is also the scene for Belgrade’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.
20. White Palace
![tourist map of belgrade serbia White Palace, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_147071360.jpg)
Like the National Assembly this royal palace in the upscale Dedinje neighbourhood south of the city isn’t a monument you can just turn up and visit.
But there are tours in summer, and you need only write to the tourist board before in advance to book your place.
The effort will be rewarded, and you’ll be taken by bus from the city hall to this Neo-Palladian palace from the 1930s.
The interior is enriched with Georgian antique furniture and paintings by the likes of Poussin, Veronese, Canaletto, Brueghel, Titian and many more.
There’s also an extensive library, and wonderful panoramas from the terrace.
The Crown Prince and Princess, Alexander and Katherine may even show up if they’re at home.
21. Rajko Mitić Stadium (Marakana)
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Red Star Stadium Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-474963883_095ab966a8_b.jpg)
Now, this isn’t an option for the faint-hearted or non-football fans.
But if you do follow the beautiful game you may have heard about the Eternal Derby between FK Partizan and Red Star Belgrade.
If you come for the fixture when Red Star host their cross-town rivals at the 55,000-capacity Rajko Mitić Stadium you’ll encounter possibly the most intense atmosphere of any football match in the world.
Buy a ticket for the east or west stand, as the North and South ends are for the hardcore fans.
Come to any other fixture for a more sedate match-day experience at Serbia’s largest football stadium, and the the home of the 1991 Champions League winners.
22. Historical Museum of Serbia
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Historical Museum of Serbia, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-13809954145_a7981df827_b.jpg)
This museum on Nikola Pašić Square stages only temporary exhibitions on themes dealing with Serbia’s past.
One recent exhibitions for instance was dedicated to the 13-century prince and monk St Sava, who essentially founded the Serbian Orthodox church.
Another show recounted Serbian life during the First World War, while others have handled topics as diverse as the First Serbian Uprising at the start of the 19th century, Serbian sculpture, iconography and the trailblazing Serbian-American physicist Mijajlo Pupin.
23. Ružica Church
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Ružica Church](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_769697011.jpg)
Against the northeast walls of the Belgrade Fortress sits the oldest church in the city.
The exact origins of the building are unknown, except that its history is a litany of demolitions and rebuilds.
The earliest mention is from the 1400s, but it was duly pulled down after the Ottoman Empire conquered Belgrade in 1521. The current building is from the 19th century (requiring a restoration after WWI) and integrates walls from the fort’s old gunpowder magazine.
The facade is clad with ivy, and the interior has some peculiar chandeliers made from First World War bayonet blades and shell casings.
24. Zeleni Venac
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Zeleni Venac, Belgrade](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-shutterstock_780448330.jpg)
There are a few outdoor markets that you could seek out in Belgrade, but Zeleni Venac, known as Queen of the Markets, is the one to keep in mind.
It is the most central, foubd next to one of Belgrade’s big transport hubs and has been trading since 1847. Price-wise Zeleni Vanac is also the most competitive in the city.
Under a metallic canopy that was restored about ten years ago are scores of fruit and vegetable traders.
Saturdays are when the market thrums with lively conversation and the calls of stall-holders.
There are pekaras (bakeries) along the sides for fresh pastries like krempita, baklava, tulumbe and kadaif.
25. Splavovi
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Splavovi](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ccimage-Splavovi_na_Dunavu_-_panoramio-1024x577.jpg)
If you’re planning a night out in Belgrade, be prepared to board a splav.
These are the barges and boats that are permanently moored on the Danube and Sava rivers.
They can be floating restaurants, bars or nightclubs.
And no two splavovi are alike: Some are polished and cultivated, while others are younger and more raucous.
You can dance all night to live rock bands, pop, dance music or Serbian folk.
Or you can opt for something quieter and dine in peace beside the Danube.
In summer there’s a party on the splavovi seven days a week and you’ll see people making their way along the quay hopping from one barge to the next.

The 12 Best Things To See and Do in Belgrade, Serbia
![tourist map of belgrade serbia The glorious Victor Monument at Kalemegdan](https://cdn-v2.theculturetrip.com/20x11/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/pobednik-datsenko-maryana-e1724059605448.webp)
Belgrade has it all. Okay, it doesn’t literally have everything, but it has more than enough to keep a grip on even those with the shortest attention spans. This is a city of monumental architecture, tangible history and nightlife that seemingly never stops. If Belgrade isn’t on the top of your Balkan travel list, your list needs to be redrawn.
Kalemegdan fortress.
Park, Historical Landmark
The number one attraction in Belgrade is less a single sight and more a big conglomerate of everything that makes the city great. Kalemegdan Fortress has seen its fair share of conflict over the centuries, but the only violence you’ll see here in the 21st century will involve dogs fighting over a tennis ball. Essentially a huge park, the fortress looks out over the confluence of the Sava and Danube Rivers for what is undoubtedly the city’s most romantic spot. It also houses the Military Museum and a number of galleries, not to mention some of the city’s most recognisable monuments. In Belgrade, all roads lead to Kalemegdan. Well, not all of them, but you get the point.
Church of Saint Sava
![tourist map of belgrade serbia The Church Of Saint Sava, Belgrade](https://cdn-v2.theculturetrip.com/10x/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutterstock_2432908957.webp)
One of the largest Orthodox churches on the planet, the Church of Saint Sava is one of the most identifiable attractions in the entire region. It dominates the city’s skyline, and at 79 metres in height, it is easy to see why. The church was built on the spot where the Ottomans burned Saint Sava’s remains in 1595, but nearly 400 years passed before the church itself was completed. The interior is still under construction, but its unfinished state adds another layer of intrigue to this monumental house of worship.
Knez Mihailova
Architectural Landmark
While it isn’t the geographical centre of the city, Knez Mihailova is without doubt the social midpoint of the Serbian capital. This long thoroughfare is where all strands of Belgrade society come to be seen, whether that is businessmen making deals in cafes or young people running aimlessly up and down it. This is the best spot for a little bit of people watching, and entire afternoons can be spent on Knez Mihailova, watching the day idly go by.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia Belgrade Famous Skadarlija Old Cobbled Street](https://cdn-v2.theculturetrip.com/10x/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutterstock_1672043545.webp)
It is known as Belgrade’s Bohemian Quarter, but the use of the word ‘quarter’ is somewhat liberal. Skadarlija is more a street than an entire area, but that street is full of restaurants, bars and cafes, all dotted along the cobblestones that are a delight to look at in the morning and a struggle to walk on when inebriated. Once the domain of poets, academics and drunks, Skadarlija now has both eyes focused firmly on the tourism sector. With that in mind, some of the best restaurants in the city can be found on this short stretch of street.
Museum of Yugoslavia and House of Flowers
The history of Yugoslavia looms large over the entire region, despite only being around for less than a century. The socialist state is remembered fondly by many in Belgrade, and as such, Josip Broz Tito’s grave is an important pilgrimage site for all visitors to Belgrade. The museum itself is a fascinating look at history as it was, and the traveling exhibitions are almost always worth a look. The collection of batons in the House of Flowers is particularly noteworthy, but it is the marble resting place of the Yugoslav leader that correctly takes center stage.

The people of Zemun might take umbrage with being described as a ‘must visit attraction in Belgrade’, as this small ‘town within a city’ is known for its fierce independence. Zemun was swallowed up by Belgrade in the 1930s, but its former position as an Austrian Empire border town means you can find a different atmosphere when compared to the big city centre. Zemun Kej is one of the most engrossing walkways in the city, and the view from Gardoš Hill and the Millennium Tower is one of the finest going. If you’re a fan of seafood, make Zemun your number one stop when in Belgrade.
Nikola Tesla Museum
Ada ciganlija.
Natural Feature
![tourist map of belgrade serbia View Of Ada Ciganlija From Aerial Drone](https://cdn-v2.theculturetrip.com/10x/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutterstock_2363931613.webp)
Belgrade may be as landlocked as capital cities come, but the Serbs are nothing if not persistent. Ada Ciganlija, a river island turned peninsula, is affectionately known as Belgrade’s Seaside, and it is generally heaving with people once the temperatures creep above 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) in summer. By the time those temperatures hit 40 °C (104 °F), this is the best place to be. There are plenty of bars around for refreshment, making a day of lounging by the water even easier.
Republic Square and the National Theatre
Belgrade’s Republic Square might seem to have a large number of people loitering on it, but do not fear. This is Belgrade’s main meeting point, where social evenings begin kod konj (by the horse). Some of Belgrade’s most important buildings are found here, including the National Museum and the National Theatre. The museum has been closed for over 15 years now, but the theatre is still going strong. Head to the website for the full schedule, and enjoy some high culture at low prices, a fabulous marketing slogan if ever there was one.
Avala Tower
![tourist map of belgrade serbia An Aerial View Of The Avala Tower, Belgrade, Serbia](https://cdn-v2.theculturetrip.com/10x/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutterstock_2345394207.webp)
While not technically a part of Belgrade itself, Avala is a nearby mountain that overlooks the city like some sort of angry big brother, in the familial sense, as opposed to the Orwellian. It is easy to imagine the minds behind 1984 ’s main antagonist directing traffic from Avala Tower, however, a 205-metre tall spindle that was destroyed by NATO in 1999 before being rebuilt in 2009. This is the tallest tower in the Balkans, and it is arguably the number one attraction at Avala. The Monument to the Unknown Hero gives it a good run for its money, but the tower just about wins out.
Nightclub, European
The Gavez Club occupies a forest clearing on Belgrade’s Ciganlija river island, an hour’s walk south of the city centre. Don’t feel guilty about knocking back its colourful rakijas (a potent Balkan liquor made from grapes, plums, apricots and pears), because here they’re said to have magical and medicinal effects. There’s also a small but home-cooked menu of hearty Serbian dishes and a bamboo-covered stage where music and plays are performed. Seating is in a chalet-like interior or outside on wooden benches.

Bajloni Market Belgrade
These hugely popular events occur every month at one of Belgrade’s open-air Green Markets. Typically held on a Friday evening between 6pm and midnight, they feature live music and stalls run by delicatessens, homeware designers, restaurants, winemakers and artists. The venue changes each time, but keep your eye open for those hosted by the Kalenic and Zeleni Venac markets, where some of the biggest and best events have been held in the past.

Outspoken, adventurous, proud and audacious: Belgrade ('White City') is by no means a 'pretty' capital, but its gritty exuberance makes it one of Europe's most happening cities. While it hurtles towards a brighter future, its chaotic past unfolds before your eyes: socialist blocks are squeezed between art nouveau masterpieces, and remnants of the Habsburg legacy contrast with Ottoman relics and socialist modernist monoliths. This is where the Sava and Danube Rivers kiss, an old-world culture that at once evokes time-capsuled communist-era Yugoslavia and new-world, EU-contending cradle of cool.

17 Best Things to Do in Belgrade, Serbia
Last Updated on 26/04/2024 by kami
Belgrade , the capital city of Serbia , isn’t the favorite destination of many travelers. And I get that as it took me a few visits to warm up to the city.
But once I got to know it a bit better I think this is a pretty cool destination, albeit not the most obvious one. With so many great things to do in Belgrade, you can spend there a few days without getting bored and actually enjoy the capital of Serbia.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-56.jpg)
I’ve been a frequent visitor to Belgrade for some ten years now as this is often the easiest entry point to the Balkans . While at first I was a bit reluctant when visiting Belgrade, now I’m always trying to add a day or two in the city to spend some time there and enjoy all my favorite spots.
Belgrade reminds me a bit of Warsaw or Bucharest , the capitals where the recent history wasn’t easy on them and where you can still feel its impact, making the cities not the easiest one to visit (especially if you are looking for Insta pretty places) but once you dig deeper into the layers they all turn out to be pretty amazing.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-38.jpg)
And so it’s time I put together this Belgrade guide with all the best things to do in Belgrade. As you will see there are not too many typical tourist spots and monuments but the list of Belgrade attractions can get really long! Read on, give the city a chance, and plan your own trip to Belgrade soon.

Why visit Belgrade
The main reason why many travelers visit Belgrade is to start their journey in the Balkans. But the city is pretty interesting too and offers a variety of attractions.
There are some old remnants like Kalemagdan fortress or beautiful architecture from the turn of the 19th and 20th century as well as quirky concrete masterpieces. But most of all Belgrade is a vibrant city with some amazing restaurants, bars and nightlife.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-49.jpg)
How much time for visiting Belgrade
You can see the main attractions in Belgrade, especially those located downtown, in one day but I think Belgrade deserves more time to feel the vibe of the city.
With two days in Belgrade, you can also explore areas located further away like Novi Beograd or Zemun. But of course, the more time you have, the better.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-44.jpg)
How to get to Belgrade
The local airport is the main hub in the region therefore you can easily fly to Belgrade from numerous destinations in Europe and beyond. The national carrier, Air Serbia, is the main airline serving Belgrade airport but other companies fly there too (I usually take direct flights from Warsaw with LOT).
You need to take the bus to get from the airport to the center, either bus no 72 to Zeleni Venac (ticket costs 150 RSD, paid to the driver) or Minibus A1 to Slavija Square (300 RSD).
If you arrive in Belgrade by bus the main bus station is located in the center, a short walk (uphill) from the major attractions.
The situation with the train station complicated a bit recently when the old one, located next to the bus station was closed in 2018. Now you need to go a bit away from the center to either Beograd Centar station to take the train to Budapest or Novi Sad or to Topčider station for trains to Bar , Skopje or Nis .
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-28.jpg)
How to get around Belgrade
While many of the attractions are located in the central part of the city and you can walk to them there are a few spots (like Zemun, Museum of Yugoslavia or numerous brutalists buildings) that you need to take the local public transport to get to. I usually use Eway website to check the public transport routes and so far it never failed me in Belgrade.
To use public transport in Belgrade you will need tickets. The most useful will be a 24-hours ticket – it costs only 250 dinars + 40 dinars for the card. You can get them at Moj Kiosk stands, they are located all over the city. Since the controls are frequent I recommend always traveling with a valid ticket.

Things to do in Belgrade
And now, without any further ado, let me tell you about all the best things to do in Belgrade.
Explore Kalemegdan Fortress
The Kalemegdan fortress is probably the biggest highlight of Belgrade and it is popular for a reason. This is one of the best places in the city to relax and enjoy beautiful vistas of the Serbian capital (especially around sunset time). It is also full of history and attractions.
Located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, the first fortifications were built here already in Celtic times. What you can see today dates to the 17th century and later and is an impressive example of defensive architecture.
It’s a really vast area and you should take your time to explore it properly as it hides some really great attractions on the Upper and Lower Fortress. My favorite part is the promenade on the Sava riverside and the part near the Victor Monument but the whole place is really great.
The best way to get to Kalemegdan is from the pedestrian Knez Mihailova street, you just need to cross the traffic lights at the end of it and you are already in Kalemegdan park.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-53.jpg)
Walk down Knez Mihailova Street
Knez Mihailova Street is the main pedestrian lane in Belgrade that stretches for around a kilometer between Terazije and Kalemegdan Fortress. This is one of the oldest and most valuable parts of Belgrade, lined with beautiful buildings from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
It’s always busy with people shopping in the numerous places along the street or chilling in any outdoor cafes. This is probably the best place in Belgrade for people watching. You should walk Knez Mihailova street in the morning, when it’s still fairly empty, to admire the beautiful architecture around and then return later on to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the place.
Some of the most interesting buildings here include Srpska Kruna Hotel (at number 56), The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts’ building (at 35), Ruski car restaurant (at the corner of Knez Mihailova and Obilićev Venac streets) and numerous residential buildings (especially at numbers 46, 48 and 50).
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-48.jpg)
See grand buildings in the downtown
Belgrade might not look like a beautiful city at first but it has some beautiful grand buildings in downtown. The center of the city is a peculiar mix of architecture, and while some of the newer additions to the scenery don’t really fit into the image of the big capital, there are still plenty of buildings that are worth looking at.
You can find some of them in and around Trg Republike, Terazije, Kralja Milana street or Trg Nikole Pasica but wandering around the downtown will reveal even more random beauty around.
If you can, step inside the buildings and gates too as you can find some real wonders there. My favorite find was the interior of the Main Post Office with a beautiful retro design.
But downtown Belgrade hides some real gems too and you can find them when wandering the backstreets, especially near Kneza Mihaila street. Some of the buildings there are really neat and can surely impress you!
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-35.jpg)
Admire the beauty of Hotel Moskva
Of all the beautiful buildings in downtown Zagreb, Hotel Moskva must be my favorite one. This is one of the oldest operating hotels in Serbia, it was opened in 1908. The stunning art-nouveau building really stands out among other Belgrade architecture.
Due to its importance, location, and high standards Hotel Moskva welcomed numerous well-known guests over the years, including Albert Einstein, Alfred Hitchcock, or Richard Nixon, among many others. It also played an important role in the local history (i.e. it was the Gestapo headquarter during World War 2) and culture.
Today it is still a popular place among travelers but even if you are not staying there you can enjoy Hotel Moskva a bit – there is a fine cafe you can sit at and get a glimpse of the place and its vibe.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-10.jpg)
Enjoy the bohemian side of Belgrade
The neighborhood of Skaradlija is known as the bohemian side of Belgrade, so much different than the rest of the city. Its heart is Skadarska street – a 400-meters long cobbled lane full of attractions.
You will find there numerous restaurants, art galleries, or antique shops – Skadarlija is known as Belgrade’s Montmarte, and you can surely feel the artistic vibe there.
This is a perfect place for a slow wander around and the benches lined along the street welcome visitors to sit down and relax.
Getting to Skadarlija is rather easy, the street is located a short walk away from Trg Republike.
You can read more about Skadarlija here , in the article I wrote about this area only.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-32.jpg)
Find the Belgrade’s version of Sebilj
If you visited Sarajevo , the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina , you know that one of the city’s main attractions is Sebilj – the old, Ottoman-style drinking fountain.
What many people don’t know is that you can find Sarajevo Sebilj’s replica in Belgrade. It looks almost the same, just the color is a bit darker than the one in Sarajevo. This is one of the very few Sebiljs you can find outside of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina and it was donated to Belgrade by the city of Sarajevo in 1989.
You can see Belgrade’s Sebilj when visiting Skadarlija, it’s located at the corner of Skadarska and George Washington streets.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-34.jpg)
See the impressive Saint Sava Church
One of the most recognizable attractions of Belgrade, clearly seen from many places all over the city, is the enormous Saint Sava Church, dominating the scenery with its round domes. This is actually one of the largest churches in the world and often compared to Hagia Sophia in Istanbul (due to its shape) or Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (since both are still not fully finished).
Works on Saint Sava Church started in 1935 and finished only in 2004, and the interior is still very much under construction. Still, this is a beautiful place to visit and a must-stop during your Belgrade sightseeing, it can impress everyone with the fine details and impressive architecture.
If you can visit only one church in Belgrade, Saint Sava is the one (with Saint Mark’s being the close second).
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-16.jpg)
Reminisce about the past at NATO bombed buildings
The 1990s Yugoslav War was the tragic episode in the region’s history and the Serbian contribution to it is a pretty well-known fact. But politics aside, as always in the wars the biggest victims are regular citizens, no matter on which side.
While the war took place mostly in the other parts of ex-Yugoslavia (with Sarajevo , Srebrenica or Vukovar being the most-known cities that suffered in the conflict), Belgrade bears some scars of that war too and you can see them in the NATO-bombed buildings that used to be the Yugoslav Ministry of Defence. Over 20 years about the bombing the damaged building still reminds about the uneasy past in the Balkans although construction works are taking place there.
You can find the building at the corner of Nemanjina and Kneza Miloša streets.

Belgrade has one of the best street art scenes in the Balkans and you can find numerous works all over the city. Many of them are just random tags and graffiti on the walls, but you can also find some decent stencil, stickers or murals.
The one that is best known is by the world-famous artists from Italy – BLU. He painted a giant man eating a tree and his work showcases how we all hurt the environment. You can find it near Brankov Most, on Pop Lukina Street.
When wandering around in search of Belgrade street art you will also quickly notice that many of the works commemorate late people, often connected to the local football teams – painting their portraits on the walls is a way to remember them.
The best areas to find street art in Belgrade are the areas of Savamala and Dorcol in the center as well as neighborhoods of New Belgrade across the Sava river.

Enjoy the cafe scene
The Balkans are known for its exceptional cafe culture and Belgrade, being the largest city in the region, has some really cool cafes that you can enjoy during your trip there. They make a perfect getaway to relax during the sightseeing or find some well-needed shadow during hot days.
There are so many good coffee shops in Belgrade, not only serving amazing drinks but also having some cool and hip interiors. You will find them all over the city, I used Foursquare and European Coffee Trip website to find the best one and they didn’t disappoint.
Of all the cafes I visited in Belgrade during my numerous visits there my favorite ones were Kafeterija Magazin 1907 (at Kralja Petra 16, just off Kneza Mihaila – it’s worth visiting for the interior itself as the whole townhouse was changed into the cafe), Kafeterija at Trg Nikole Pašića, Aviator Coffee Explorer at Terazije near Hotel Moskva and Uzitak Coffee at Hilandarska 4.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-9.jpg)
Try local food
I must admit I’m not the fan of Serbian cuisine, mostly because it is very much meat-oriented and I’m a vegetarian. But since the first bite I fell in love with burek and this affection continues for years.
This local pastry with various fillings (meat, cheese, spinach or potatoes) is to die for and you can find it all over the Balkans, in every bakery as well as in the small shops specializing in burek only (and these usually serve the best burek). You can also find many of them in Belgrade and I definitely recommend trying a burek fresh from the oven at least once during your trip.
If you are looking for a typical Serbian you will get it in numerous restaurants all over the center. The best-known is the restaurant Question Mark (Znak Pitanja) which is the oldest traditional tavern in the city, operating since 1823. You will find it at Kralja Petra 6, not far from Kneza Mihaila street.

Enjoy the riverside
With the location at the confluence of two important European rivers, Danube and Sava, Belgrade has a pretty long riverside that you can enjoy in numerous ways. You might wander around or ride a bike in the green areas, relax at the beach or spend time in some cool and hip bars and restaurants. Those are located below Kalemegdan fortress, between Brankov Bridge and the place where Sava and Danube meet.
The so-called Beton Hala is where you will find some of the finest restaurants in Belgrade and the place is vibrant all day long since it’s a popular lunch and coffee area during the daytime and in the evening it changes to one of the main hotspots in the Serbian capital. There is something really cool and funky about combining the raw concrete architecture with the mighty river and the vibrant atmosphere hence you can’t really miss this place when you visit Belgrade!
On the other side of the Sava river, across from the Beton Hala, you will find numerous boats that host nightclubs and restaurants too.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-19.jpg)
Admire the spectacular brutalist architecture
Belgrade is, hands down, one of the best European cities when it comes to brutalist architecture. If you are a fan of funky concrete masterpieces you are in for a treat as you will find plenty of them all over the city, including some iconic buildings like Genex Tower or the building that looks like Toblerone chocolate.
After World War 2 when brutalism was at its peak of popularity Belgrade developed rapidly as the capital of Serbia. The row between the leaders of Yugoslavia and Soviet Union lead to finding its own way for the Tito-lead country and that applied to architecture too. That’s why the brutalist style you will find in Belgrade (and other cities of ex-Yugoslavia) is slightly different than anywhere else but nevertheless amazing.
You can read more about Belgrade brutalist architecture and where to find it in this guide I published .

Visit museums
Even if I personally didn’t visit all that many museums in Belgrade I know that some of them are supposed to be pretty good and worth going to.
Some of the best Belgrade museums include the Nikola Tesla Museum, the Historical Museum of Serbia, the Museum of Science and Technology, the National Museum of Serbia, the Military Museum, the Aviation Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, or Ethnographic Museum.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-2.jpg)
Visit Museum of Yugoslavia
I believe this museum deserves special attention, especially for those who like me are interested in the 20th-century history of the region.
The Museum of Yugoslavia focuses on this part of history, showing the period of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Socialist Yugoslavia as well as the life of its iconic leader Josip Broz Tito. In fact, you can find the grave of Tito in the special building called “House of Flowers”, located behind the main museum’s premises.
This place is such a great place to learn about the recent history of the region and to understand why Tito is still kind of worshipped in the countries of former Yugoslavia.
The museum is located a bit away from the center, the best way to get here is by trolleybus no 40L or 41L from the center.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-62.jpg)
Go to Zemun
Zemun, part of Belgrade located away from the center, at the Danube riverside, is a perfect area to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy capital. Until 1934 it was a separated city and part of the Habsburg Empire when it existed (the border between Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire was on the river Sava). This is why Zemun feels and looks so much different than downtown Belgrade.
You can find here the architecture typical for the Habsburg Empire, with lower houses and red rooftops, similar to the cities of Central Europe . The vibe of Zemun is also a bit different, more laid-back and it feels like life goes by slower here.
Zemun is such a pleasant place to visit, its waterfront is a popular recreational area where on the weekends you can expect many locals to stroll down and relax.
One of the biggest attractions of Zemun is the 19th-century Gardoš Tower from where you can admire the beautiful panorama of the surroundings and Belgrade in the background.
There are several city buses going to Zemun from the center and New Belgrade so getting there shouldn’t be a problem.
![tourist map of belgrade serbia things to do in belgrade serbia](https://www.mywanderlust.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/things-to-do-in-belgrade-serbia-61.jpg)
Go for day trips
The city can be a very good base to explore more of the country and some of the best places to visit in Serbia can be seen as day trips from Belgrade. There is a good network of public buses covering a big part of the country and you can use it when exploring Serbia, other places are better visited by car or with the tour.
The most popular day trip from Belgrade is to Novi Sad , the capital of the Vojvodina region, located around 100 km away from the capital. Novi Sad is very different from Belgrade, it’s this typical Central European city with grand architecture, numerous cafes, and an impressive Petrovaradin fortress.
While, as a big fan of Novi Sad, I believe the city deserves more than a day to fully enjoy it, you can still see its main attractions in a few hours. You can also combine visiting Novi Sad with seeing more of the Vojvodina region.
Another interesting place you can visit is Golubac Fortress – an impressive 14th-century masterpiece located at the Danube river, at the border with Romania , some 130 km away from Belgrade. When there you can also visit Đerdap National Park with some of the most beautiful views you will find in Serbia.
You can also go to Uzice (200 km away from Belgrade) and the nearby Zlatibor mountains and combine this place with a visit to Drvengrad – the ethno village created for Emir Kusturica’s movie “Life Is a Miracle”.

Final thoughts on visiting Belgade
As you can see, Belgrade is much more interesting than it seems at first and offers many great things to do. It is also a great place to learn more about the region and feel its vibe. When planning your Balkan trip be sure to give Belgrade a bit of your time too, you might actually enjoy it much more than expected!

Tanja / Please Be Seated for Takeoff
Great post! For us Belgrade was love at the first sight and we ended up staying and ending our fulltime nomadlife. We came for a month, stayed 3 months, kept returning and now we’ve been here total more than 3 years. I am happy that you also returned even though you didn’t love this city since the beginning.
Btw, have you noticed that there are more and more vegetarian options nowadays too? You propably know already, but Happy Cow App is great for finding out the best places for vegetarian/vegan food. My sister is vegetarian as well as many other of my fellow Finns so I’ve used to finding places to take them out to eat when they visit us here.
Thank you, Tanja! I’m glad you enjoy Belgrade so much too! This city really gets better and better the more time you spend there. I’ve noticed that it’s so much easier to be a vegetarian there recently. I know Happy Cow, it’s such a great source of information when traveling. All the best!
Ok but based on my experience and observation, most locals are not welcoming, not friendly to tourists. One visit is enough to this place.
In every place you can find nice and not so nice people, I guess it depends on luck but I know from my own experience that sometimes bad encounters can ruin the place.
Hi Kami, i came accros your travel guide while serching information on Slovenia. Well done with the page, amazing and thank you first of all for providing all this information in one place. Very usefull and helpfull to prepare for the next trip. Born and raised in the capital of Serbia i know my city very well but also my people. It is so nice to read all this positive feedback about my home town which is very ofther very negatively critisied but mostly from people who never been there just seen the news and read news papers. We are dificult to understand maybe but our coulture is so rich and most of our people are very welcoming. As you said in every place on this planet you will find nice or not so nice people depending on your own experiense. i have been to lovely pleces, metropolitan cities where i had the worst experiense as a tourist. anyways just wanted to show appreciacion for your work and this great review about the coutry located deeply in my hart
Hi Maja. Thank you for your comment and kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed my articles and found them useful. Belgrade is such an underrated city, it offers so much, just not the typical tourist attractions. I hope more people will decide to go there and enjoy it! All the best and happy travels!

Ada Ciganlija and Ada Bridge
Belgrade street names, church of st marko, church of st sava, drinking and nightlife, the ethnographical museum and gallery of frescoes, kalemegdan fortress, konak of princess ljubica, the museum of yugoslav history, nikola tesla museum, the orthodox cathedral and museum, parliament building, trg republike and around.
The city sits at a strategic point on the junction of the Danube and Sava rivers – something that has proved a source of weakness as well as strength over the ages: Belgrade has been captured as many as sixty times by Celts, Romans, Huns, Avars and more. The onslaught continued right through the twentieth century, when the city suffered heavy shelling during World War II and in 1999 withstood 78 days of NATO airstrikes.
All that considered, contemporary Belgrade is pretty picturesque. The mingling and merging of styles can be off-putting, particularly when a row of beautiful older frontages is interrupted by a postwar interloper, but the grand nineteenth-century buildings and delicate Art Nouveau facades still stand alongside the Yugoslav experimentation, eloquent witnesses of the city’s time under the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires.
The city’s most attention-grabbing attraction is the Kalemegdan Fortress . Just outside the park boundary is the Old City, whose dense lattice of streets conceals Belgrade’s most interesting sights. South of here is Belgrade’s central square, Trg Republike , and the old bohemian quarter of Skadarlija, beyond which lie several more sights worth seeing, including one of the world’s largest Orthodox churches. For a spot of rest and recuperation, head west across the Sava to the verdant suburb of Zemun , in New Belgrade, or further south towards the island of Ada Ciganlija , Belgrade’s own miniature beach resort.
