Belgrade has been besieged, razed, and rebuilt more than 40 times — a record that would break most cities. On this self-guided walking tour, trace the city's layered identity from Roman military outpost to capital of Yugoslavia. You will discover how its position at the confluence of the Sava and Danube made Belgrade one of the Balkans' most coveted prizes.
Starting at Republic Square, you'll stroll Knez Mihailova Street before ducking into a crumbling arcade. Along the way, uncover Roman remnants beneath a modern shopping mall, hear the story behind the 500-billion-dinar banknote, and visit Belgrade's oldest restaurant.
The tour ends at the Pobednik Victory Monument, dramatically poised above the fortress walls with the Sava and Danube stretching into the distance.
