Explore the bold, raw, and fascinating world of New Belgrade through a unique Brutalist Architecture Walking Tour — a journey into the urban vision of socialist Yugoslavia.
This experience reveals the story of a city built from marshlands after World War II into one of the most ambitious modernist projects in Europe. Monumental concrete structures, futuristic residential complexes, and visionary urban planning make New Belgrade an open-air museum of Brutalist and modernist architecture.
The tour includes some of New Belgrade’s most iconic sites, such as Sava Center, Block 23, the “6 Kaplara” buildings, Palace of Serbia, “Coca-Cola” building, SIV 3, the legendary Western City Gate (Genex Tower), the famous “Televizorke” buildings, and residential blocks 61, 62, and 63.
More than just an architectural tour, this experience offers insight into Yugoslav society, utopian urban planning, everyday life behind concrete facades, and the unique identity of New Belgrade — a city within a city.

1Sava Center
Sava Center is one of the most iconic examples of Brutalist architecture in Belgrade, designed in 1977 by architect Stojan Maksimović, known for its bold concrete forms and monumental geometric design. A fascinating fact: it was built in record time—just 11 months—to host the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, making it both an architectural and political landmark.

4Novi Belgrade
Block 23 is part of New Belgrade’s modernist urban grid, reflecting the planned, functional design approach of the socialist era with its uniform residential blocks and green communal spaces. “Coca-Cola block” is a recognizable office complex in New Belgrade that stands out due to its corporate modernist design and branding presence. Televizorka is a distinctive example of late modernist / Brutalist-inspired architecture in New Belgrade (block 28), recognizable for its bold, blocky form and the vertical structure that gives it the nickname “The Television Building.” Block 61 is one of the well-known residential blocks of New Belgrade, featuring a mix of high-rise apartment buildings and green zones typical of socialist modernist planning. Block 63 continues the same New Belgrade modernist grid, featuring large-scale residential complexes and open public spaces that define the district’s identity.
