We take you to the selected vantage points, decode monuments and tailor storytelling so 2,000 years of history make sense.

You'll discover traces of empires who were building and destroying Belgrade and get the historical drama of the fatally strategic location.
You'll unlock the meaning of Belgrade's iconic monuments and landmarks.
You'll get more than meets the eye: enter a church with unique decoration and hear about underground secrets of the Fortress.
By the end of the tour, you're likely to grow a soft spot for Belgrade and Belgraders, a tough little place on the important crossroad of civilizations, where every generation faces a challenge.

What To Expect
The Belgrade Fortress
You'll experience: • Beautiful panoramic views over the rivers and their confluence and New Belgrade and Zemun • Iconic Belgrade monuments and landmarks • Historical and political overview and intrigue, from the descent of Roman Empire to Ottomans and Habsburgs to the Cold War era • Greenery of the park
You'll be excited to find out why the Noon bell in all churches in Europe is directly related to Belgrade. Which sultan called the Belgrade Fortress his Contemplation hill. What happened when Nazis bombed Belgrade in 1941. And what happened when there was a Soviet invasion threat in the 1950ies. Guess which movie maker told the press he felt very inspired after getting underground! We start with the ancient Romans and trace the successive powers who fought for this piece of earth, water and sky. Every step takes you past the gates and walls, dungeons and towers. Every sight is a monument and memory of war and peace, life and death, rise and fall of empires and people that left their mark in time.

5.00It was great to hear how a local historian thinks about the Serbian past, to get explanations of what was going on historically and how things are now. It was sunny and clear when we visited so we had good views of Zemun and New Belgrade that are quite different from Old Belgrade.
Well guided tour of a historic gem

5.00I booked the tour as I always visit the fortresses when traveling to a new place. Belgrade Fortress did not disappoint! So much historical drama is still resonating in Belgrade. Igor was a most fantastic guide, I enjoyed our conversation and a bit of debate.
Must do
