Monks, Sultans to Socialists Self Guided Tour of Belgrade

2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 6 more

A kafana in Belgrade has been called "?" for over 130 years — because the church across the street refused to let a bar use its name. That's the kind of city this is: stubborn, irreverent, and full of stories you won't find in a guidebook.
This self-guided audio tour of Belgrade walks you through 5 kilometres of a city destroyed over 40 times — from the bohemian cobblestones of Skadarlija to a fortress where soldiers reported seeing headless ghosts. Along the way, you'll follow three men who built modern Serbia.

Pause for pljeskavica, linger at a kafana, or explore the cathedral — all at your own pace, with no fixed start time and full offline access. Over 20,000 travelers have used the self-guided tours, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee.

If you'd rather wander Belgrade on your own terms than follow someone else's schedule, this Belgrade walking tour was made for you.
