About this experience
Why are 'Russians and Serbs brothers forever'? Our walking tour is a quest to find the answer to this question. Through the key landmarks of the Serbian capital, we will understand the role of religion and culture in the friendship of our peoples. We will discuss the significance of emigration in Serbia's development at the Russian House and monuments to Russian figures. Strolling through the cozy streets, we will discover important places for modern Russians. In the end, Belgrade will feel a little closer to you!
