A curated journey through the experience
Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress
Your trip will begin with pick up from your hotel/accommodation in Belgrade. We'll not stay in the vehicle for a long time since our first stop is Kalemegdan, the oldest and largest park in the city center and the magnificent Belgrade Fortress. Starting from Leopold's Gate, we will pass by the remains of the Roman castrum – Singidunum and medieval walls built upon it – Zindan Gate, Despot's Gate, Jakšića tower, all dating back to the 15th century. We will visit two Orthodox churches in this part of the fortress: Chapel of St Petka and Ružica Church ( Virgin Mary Church ). Entering the Upper town ( Gornji grad ), we will see the magnificent sight of two rivers' confluence: the Sava and the Danube.
20 minutesPobednik
Here we'll enter the vehicle again and continue with our tour.
30 minutesNovi Belgrade
Finally, we will pass by the restaurant "Novak," owned by the famous tennis player Novak Đoković's family, and the Belgrade Arena, the most important sports venue in this part of Europe.
Zemun
We'll continue with our ride through the main street called Gospodska Street, where we have a chance to see some beautiful examples of Zemun architecture: the Post Office, Hotel Central, Town's Museum, the House with a Sundial, etc.
20 minutesZemun
Its curvy cobblestone streets and small houses will give you the impression that Zemun is a melting pot of Mediterranean and Middle European cultures.
40 minutesThe Millenary Monument
When we reach the top of the hill, we'll see the remains of the Zemun citadel that are still standing together with The Millennium Tower in the center, Zemun's central landmark. This romantic construction, built in a mixture of historical styles at the end of the 19th century, served to mark the most Southern point of the Austro-Hungarian empire. The majestic view from the top of the tower will leave you breathless: Zemun Old Town from above, but also the confluence of the two rivers and the Belgrade Fortress on the other side.
20 minutesZemun
We'll go down the Gardos Hill to the town center and reach the Main City Square, where an everyday market is situated. Old buildings, including the Bishop's Office and the Roman Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin from the 18th century, surround the square. We'll finish our walking tour here, enter the vehicle, and continue our ride.
Џона Кенедија
Here we'll make a 30 minutes lunch break.
30 minutesDedinje
Their biggest competitor, Partizan Belgrade, has a stadium just across a small hill. Their rivalry is lasting for more than 70 years.
Mountain Avala
Now we will leave the city and head towards Avala, Belgrade's green mountain. Situated less than 20km south of the city center, it is one of Belgrade's most popular green areas, a perfect spot for recreation, picnic, or just enjoying nature. It is entirely covered with wood and is home to many birds and animal species. We drive through green forests until we reach the highest spot of Avala. In the 1930's Aleksandar I, King of Yugoslavia, decided to destroy the medieval fortress of Žrnov that was situated here to build the largest monument in the kingdom – Monument to the Unknown Hero. For this job, he engaged his court artist, world-renowned sculptor Ivan Mestrovic who indeed created a majestic structure made of black marble with colossal sculptures to resemble Antique tombs. We'll hear some exciting stories about how it was constructed and the monument's symbolism.
40 minutesAvala Tower
After that, we go down to the second largest hilltop of Avala, 440m high, where Avala tower is situated. Built in the 1960s as a TV tower, it was the largest concrete structure and the tallest structure in the Balkans. During the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999, the tower was bombed and destroyed. It was reconstructed according to the same plans and reopened for visitors. The two elevators take us up to 123m with a viewpoint from which you stay breathless: you can see the Central Serbian province of Sumadija and the entire Belgrade, including the two rivers' confluence the region of Vojvodina behind. After a short break, we get back into the vehicle and head toward Belgrade.
30 minutesSt. Sava Temple
Built in the Serbian-Byzantine style, the church occupies an area of 3500 m² at floor level, with an additional 1500 m² in the three galleries on the first level. At its highest point, the dome is 70 m in height, while the central gilded cross is an additional 12 m high, giving the Cathedral a total height of 82 m.
30 minutesTrg Slavija
When we finish with the Temple, we'll enter the vehicle one more time. Through Slavija Square, we will enter Nemanjina Street with almost all state governmental institutions: Government Building, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Staff of Serbian Army, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Finance, the State Court, etc. – all being beautiful examples of Belgrade's pre-war architecture.
The National Assembly
After that, we'll ride through Kralja Milana Street, the city's artery where some significant buildings are situated, such as the Old and New Royal Palaces. We'll pass by Nikola Pasic Square, with a monument to the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. We'll stop in front of the Parliament Building, where we will take a short break to take pictures. We will also see the Old and New Royal Palaces and hear the stories about the two dynasties that ruled Serbia in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Terazije Fountain
After that, we reach Terazije Square with its recognizable 19th century white stone fountain and one of the most beautiful buildings in the city – the Moskva Hotel.
