Discover the remarkable story about the “City at the Crossroads of the Worlds“, one of the oldest constantly inhabited spots on the planet. Our journey will begin at the time of the Celts and Romans, address the turbulence of the last few centuries, and end with a look at the modern-day Belgrade, capital of the country that today vigorously pursues its European future. This carefully designed 3.5 hours program combines history, culture, architecture, customs, and important figures in one comprehensive experience.
It is advised to wear comfortable walking shoes. The tour operates regardless of the weather conditions, so please dress appropriately.
The tour starts in front of Belgrade City Library’s main entrance;
(in Serbian: ‘Biblioteka grada Beograda’),
Address 56, Knez Mihajlova St. (please see image).
It is the very last building in the city’s most famous pedestrian street.
Our time travel starts at Kalemegdan, a park that surrounds Belgrade Fortress. This is a place where the most distant past can be seen, and where Belgrade started as a human settlement a very long time ago.
It is the most logical spot to begin unfolding the unusual and exciting story about the 'Crossroads of the Worlds'.
We walk through 'Stambol' and 'Clock' gates and enjoy an open-air exhibition of the Military Museum. Then we proceed to the 'King's Tower' and 'Zindan Gate' and visit The Rose Church of Our Lady. View of the 'Lower town' and its monuments. Enjoying superb views of the confluence of Sava and Danube rivers, New Belgrade, Zemun and 'Victor monument", one of the symbols of the city. Continuing through 'King's Gate' and the rest of the Kalemegdan park with a number of monuments.
Finally, we end the tour at the Republic Square, the real heart of Belgrade, with buildings of the National Theatre, and National Museum and a well known equestrian statue of Prince Michael (Knez Mihajlo).
