About this experience
Belgrade is a city of broad Slavic soul and hot Balkan heart. A meeting place of East and West, past and present. Our walk will cover all of its dominants from the ancient fortress to the palaces and temples of the modern times. And since the main essence of any city is its people, I will tell you all about the true Belgraders.
What to expect
Rich and colorful route
On the panoramic tour of the historical center, you will see the picturesque meeting of the Sava and Danube rivers—the birthplace of the city, feel the spirit of old Belgrade in the ancient fortress and on the cobblestone streets. I will show you all the attractions that shape the city's image: the National Museum—the main treasury of Serbia; Royal Palace, Parliament, several Orthodox churches (with an internal tour if you wish). Besides the beautiful fundamental buildings, I will also draw your attention to the television center building, damaged during the bombings in 1999. Despite the packed schedule, the walk will not tire you as everything is within walking distance. And in the middle or at the end of the route, we can stop for a cup of coffee at the city's oldest tavern :)
About Serbs, Belgraders, and the city
'There are few things in it that I haven't seen anywhere else, perhaps only three: its rivers, the sky, and the people,'—this is how the great connoisseur of Belgrade, writer Momo Kapor, described it. People are the main value of the city and the reason why you will definitely want to come back here. We will talk about the locals: how the Serbs lived under the Turks and later under Tito, what they felt and thought during the bombings of 1999, how Belgraders live today, where they relax, where they go for dinner. Of course, I will immerse you in the past of the attractions—as a historian by profession. And as a person in love with Belgrade, I will share tips on what else to see in the capital and what to try.
