Belgrade’s major landmark is the Beogradska Tvrđava, an impressive fortress where the Danube and the Sava rivers join. The Belgrade fortress reflects Belgrade’s value to the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Serbian and Austrian empires. The Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Zoo is there too so you can easily spend the day sightseeing.

The Temple of Saint Sava is a Serbian Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Sava, the Serbian Orthodox Church founder and a famed person during medieval Serbia. It is one of the biggest Orthodox churches globally, being able to fit 10,000 people if needed. 

In the basement lies the crypt of Saint Sava and the grave of the medieval Prince Lazar. White marble walls, massive arches, gilded crosses, and decorative fountains are some of this amazing church’s architectural highlights.

Knez Mihailova Street is the main shopping area in the city and is surrounded by well-preserved buildings dating back to the late 1870s. It runs from Kalemegdan (central park and fortress) to Republic Square (main central square) and goes onto Terazije Square, dividing the busy downtown area. This pedestrian street is one of the most vibrant parts of the city. 

Skadarlija, or the Bohemian quarter, has cobblestone streets with many shops, restaurants and cafes where you can indulge in Serbian or Turkish coffee. 

In the mood to party? The Serbian capital city knows how to throw a party. Slavs are giant nightclubs that float down the Danube River. Doors open at midnight and the party is as long as the river. 

There is a cool art scene in Belgrade and street art brightens up many walls around the city. You can discover graffiti art as you walk around exploring by yourself or book a guided tour to take in all the best work by Belgrade’s graffiti artists. The colour and interesting creations add character to Belgrade and are very photogenic.
