The Yugotour Headquarters are in the center, down near the Sava River. You can easily reach it by foot from the city center, you can use tram 2 that stops in front of the headquarters, or take one of the busses stopping at Brankov Bridge and walk 5 minutes from there. You can of course take a taxi too, we recommend Pink Taxi or using an Uber-like app like Car:go. Make sure to mention you need to go to Karadjorjdeva 11 in Stari Grad (the old town), to avoid being brought to the street with the same name, but far away in the Zemun area.

    The tour starts at the beginning: the second world war. The Staro Sajmiste concentration camp was based in the middle of the city and its buildings are now used for living and working. There’s even a restaurant now. You will hear how this place went from a concentration camp to a nice, green area and how Yugoslavia was created out of the devastation of the Second World War.

    Park of Friendship (Park Prijateljstva)

    This tree-lined park is special for two reasons: the trees are planted by famous people, mainly politicians and royalty, who visited Tito in Belgrade. Find the tree of your favorite leader, or the most notorious one! The second reason the park is special is because of the monument for the victims of the NATO bombing of 1999, erected by then leader Slobodan Milosevic. It was supposed to have an eternal flame, but that burnt out pretty quickly, just like Milosevic's power...

    The tour continues to what once was the political heart of Socialist Yugoslavia: SIV, or now called the Palace of Serbia. This impressive building and its interior are unchanged since it was built in 1961. Its architecture is symbolic for the politics of the country. How did leader Tito keep together the different peoples of Yugoslavia who during World War 2 were enemies?

    Western City Gate - Genex Tower

    From here on we cruise through New Belgrade, completely designed and constructed from scratch as the ideal socialist city. While getting a grasp of the urban planning we’ll arrive at the most iconic of all brutalist buildings in Belgrade and possibly the entire Yugoslavia: Genex Tower. These two imposing towers connected at the top floor with a concrete bridge, and carrying a UFO shaped restaurant on the top of the right tower, this building also is known as the West Gate, welcoming everybody arriving into Belgrade via the Highway of Brotherhood and Unity.

    A story about the rise and fall of Yugoslavia has to end at the grave of its leader, Tito. We’ll visit the mausoleum and get to know more about this fascinating character.
