The Belgrade Fortress
After pickup you'll go straight to the fortress. Walls of Belgrade fortress have many stories to tell, as they witnessed around 2000 years of history. Here you will learn why Belgrade is called "Rampart of Christianity" and which big empires controlled this area. As you walk through it, you will hear many Turkish terms like sahat tower, turbe, stambol gate. Each of these words indicate important parts of the fortress that the guide will explain during the tour. Many interesting sights to see and stories to hear, all of that will be provided from your private guide.
1 hour 30 minutesBelgrad Military Museum
During the tour through the Fortress you will walk by the open exhibition of Belgrade Military Museum. Here you can see weaponry from WWI and WWII, but also a '99 Yugoslav Army missile launcher which hit and brought down "invisible" F-117 stealth bomber. You'll learn from the guide how Yugoslav Air Defence managed to "see" it on the radar and hit it.
Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress
Standing in front of the Fortress, the Kalemegdan Park is nowadays an integral part of the complex and open public park. But in the old Ottoman days, it was a battlefield. Here you'll learn from the guide what the word Kalemegdan means and hear the story about the monument "Gratitude to France".

The Millenary Monument
The most interesting and intriguing part of Zemun is Gardoš with its old houses, churches and hidden corners. Here you can feel the spirit of the local life and you will feel like time here runs slower, probably because people are more relaxed than in the busy streets of Belgrade.

From this place you will enjoy breathtaking view of Zemun and the Danube.
