  The Millenary Monument

  The most interesting and intriguing part of Zemun is Gardoš with its old houses, churches and hidden corners. Here you can feel the spirit of the local life and you will feel like time here runs slower, probably because people are more relaxed than in the busy streets of Belgrade. At the very top of Gardoš is the Millennium tower which oversees the area. It was constructed by Hungarians in order to mark one thousand years of rule in this territory. From this place you will enjoy breathtaking view of Zemun and the Danube.
