We invite you to the guided tour of the Belgrade Fortress. It’s situated in the heart of Belgrade, overlooking the Sava and the Danube Rivers. This visit is about the historical nucleus of the city around which the modern city of Belgrade has developed.
This ancient fortress is nowadays Belgraders’ favorite park and an open-air museum. The tour of the Belgrade Fortress is a city-tour in small. Here is why! During this hour and a half long walk, you will descover:
-Roman city walls from the 1st sentury AD
-Serbian Medieval walls
-18th century Austrian Baroque walls
-Ottoman architectural monuments
-two historical Orthodox churches with beautiful ornaments
-the statue of the Victor – the symbol of Belgrade
-WWI themed Monument of gratitude to France (shown in the photo)
…and of course, the view! The Fortress stands 50m above the confluence of the Danube and the Sava Rivers. Those two used to form natural defence to the Fortress in the old days.
This tour is a comprehensive introduction to the history of the city of Belgrade and of Serbia. It allows you to better understand the country’s present but also lets you enjoy in a natural setting in the very heart of the city.
