What To Expect

The Belgrade Fortress

Many legends surround the Roman Well, one of Belgrade’s most mysterious attractions, built at the beginning of the 18th century, during the baroque reconstruction of the fortress. The well is 51m deep, with 3m in diameter and two spiral staircases that connect at a depth of about 35 meters forming a DNA-like shape. Alfred Hitchcock visited the well in 1964 and said that an environment like that was always a treat for him. A military bunker takes us into the mid-50s and the period of the Cold War. The bunker was never used for its original purpose.

Barutana

The Austrian gunpowder storehouse also known as Barutana is a man-made cave, built in the 16th century. We will show you Byzantine and Roman sarcophagi, gravestones, and statues in the display room of the Lapidarium.

Great walking tour of the underground of Belgrade. We got to see a light of the sights, access some place you wouldn’t normally see in you own, and learn about the interesting history of the city and country.

Honestly, the experience wasn’t what I expected. The guide’s English level was very basic, and I could understand less than half of what he was explaining. The ruins themselves were also not very interesting. I had high expectations, but I ended up feeling disappointed.

Michael was a walking, talking historical resources guide during our walk through the Underground Secrets of Belgrade. You could absolutely tell that Michael total enjoyed his job and the history he could provide about Belgrade. The history that he continued to provide about the Belgrade Fortress was remarkable and he so enjoyed sharing this history.

What to say? Jovana knows her stuff! This was one of the rare tours after which you come home extremely happy and satisfied, because you feel somehow richer. I learnt a lot and got some very interesting insights in this city that is not always easy to understand. Jovana is very well informed, always eager to answer all questions and overall a very pleasant and nice person to listen to. I truly recommend this tour, especially when you spend only a few days in Belgrade. You have to set priorities :) Don't miss it!
Veeeery great and highly recommend

We are in our late 70s. There was nothing describing the tour as difficult. There were very steep narrow stairs with no handrails and very uneven ground. There was no audio for the group so most of the time we could not hear him. He was a great guide and nothing was his fault. I think he did his best and felt sorry for us. I think there should be something listed on the website with a warning for older people.

I joined both the “20th Century Walking Tour” in the morning and the “Underground Secrets of Belgrade” tour later that afternoon — both led by Milan, and both absolutely fantastic. Milan is the kind of guide you hope for on a walking tour: incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about his city, and a great storyteller. He explained complex parts of Serbian and Belgrade history in a clear, engaging way, mixing facts with context and just the right amount of humor. The 20th Century tour gave a powerful overview of modern Serbian history — from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia through the world wars and into the turbulent 1990s — while the Underground tour was the perfect follow-up, taking us through layers of Belgrade’s much older past, hidden beneath the streets. If you’re curious about Belgrade’s rich and layered history, Milan and his tours are the perfect combination. I left with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the city and its people. Highly recommended.
Great underground tour!
