Itinerary
Belgrade is said to be the city of an open heart, generous and cordial to all visitors. This is why it is best to start meeting it from its very core – the city center. Leave your guidebook at home and trust the knowledge of our local guide who will captivate you with historical insight of this rising metropolis. The tour starts from the National Parliament, the monumental building built at the beginning of the 20th century, witnessing the turbulent history of Serbia. Across it are the Old and New palaces, former seats of royal dynasties Obrenovic and Karadjordjevic, nowadays residency of the President and the City Parliament. You will be surprised and dazzled when you discover the mystery surrounding the existence of these royal families.
On this stop, you will „meet" one of the most prominent figures in the history of young and modern Serbia, Nikola Pasic, thanks to whom the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians was created.
We continue our journey to Terazije Square – one of Belgrade's central meeting spots since the end of the 19th century. Here you will have a chance to hear how hotel Moskva hosted famous scientists, artists, state officials, and even two camels accompanying a high profile guest from Africa.
Afterward, we arrive to the epicenter of the city, Republic Square, surrounded by the National Theatre and National Museum and crowned with the Prince Mihailo monument at the center.
Main pedestrian street and shopping zone.
Walking through the always lively Knez Mihailo Street we will reach the capital church of Belgrade where the tombs of some of the most relevant people from Serbian history are located. Across the church is the oldest bar in the city, known for its unusual name "Question Mark -?", as well as the Mansion of Princess Ljubica, the former home of Serbia's first lady.

The tall walls of the fortification raise proudly over the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube and simultaneously witness the history of this ancient city, but also the great love stories of today. The walk begins with the abundant nature of Kalemegdan Park and ends on the outermost part of the fortress where you can admire the Victor monument, the symbol of the city.

5Belgrade walking tour
This was a great way to see the city of Belgrade and to hear about Serbia’s complex history over the years. There is a bit of walking (as expected) be sure to wear suitable shoes as there are some cobbled areas. My guide Nebo was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail. This was a fab way to start my first morning in Belgrade. I would highly recommend.
5Excellent introduction to multifaceted Belgrade
This walking tour is an excellent introduction to Belgrade and Serbia. History, architecture, modern politics, places to shop, writers to read, icecream and cafes to try. Interesting stories and a dialogue encouraged by our excellent guide Nebojsa and small numbers in the group. Make it one of the first things you do and it will be the introduction to other things you want to see and do.
5I really enjoyed my tour...
I really enjoyed my tour with Nebo. He was very informative and showed us interesting spots in the city. He also gave us many recommendations on where to visit after our tour ended.
5The best way to orient...
The best way to orient yourself with the city and history of Belgrade! Small group which made me feel almost private! Fantastic experience!
5Wonderfully Informative
Nebo was an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge and was objectively honest when speaking of the Serbian history. His personal demeanour was easy going and very open to receiving questions from the small group as we proceeded.
3Walking tour lacked spark, same as sad city of dirty, graffiti infected, sad Belgrade.
Although the tour guide was knowledgeable, her lack of enthusiasm made the tour boring and lacking verve.
