Highlights
Belgrade sits at the crossroads of empires, and the city's streets carry traces of every civilization that has fought for it. On this walking tour, you'll follow the city's story from the ancient Roman fortress of Singidunum to the monuments that marked independence. You'll walk Terazije past the Russian Secession façade of Hotel Moskva, which once hosted Albert Einstein and Alfred Hitchcock and served as Gestapo headquarters during World War II. You'll reach Republic Square, where the equestrian statue of Prince Mihailo Obrenović III presides over the National Theatre and the National Museum. Continuing down Knez Mihailova Street – a pedestrian boulevard built over a Roman aqueduct that 6,000 soldiers of the Fourth Flavian Legion once marched along and enter Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress. Here, history accumulates in layers: a 16th-century Ottoman fountain, a Baroque clock tower built in the mid-1700s, and the tomb of a grand vizier who died at the Battle of Petrovaradin.

About Belgrade
Belgrade is Serbia's capital at the meeting of the Sava and the Danube, a city of a vast fortress, café-lined boulevards and nightlife on the river.
Belgrade stands where the Sava meets the Danube, and the old Kalemegdan Fortress occupies the ridge above the confluence, with walls, gates and a park that looks over both rivers. Knez Mihailova, the pedestrian main street, runs from the fortress to Republic Square. The Temple of Saint Sava, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, has a white marble dome.
Top-ranked sights in Belgrade: Petrovaradin Fortress (Petrovaradinska Tvrdjava), Belgrade Fortress (Beogradska Tvrdava), Danube River.
