Private Belgrade city tour
Two thousand years of history, a dozen rulers and one of the liveliest cities in Europe. We show you Belgrade the way locals see it, from the fortress walls to the kafanas of Skadarlija.
Belgrade sits on a ridge above the meeting point of the Sava and the Danube, and almost every empire of the region has fought for it. On this private tour you walk through the layers: the Roman and Ottoman traces of the fortress, the 19th century streets of the old town, the bohemian quarter of Skadarlija and the monumental St Sava Temple.
Choose the half day walking version to see the historic centre, or the full day version with a vehicle, adding Zemun, New Belgrade and, if you wish, the House of Flowers where Tito is buried.
