The “Big Belgrade Tour” is your gateway to an exhaustive exploration of “The White City.” This detailed tour is a combination of a guided vehicle tour highlighting key urban areas and a leisurely walking tour filled with scenic vistas.
Our tour begins at 09:30 AM, with a leisurely walk through Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress. The historical “Cvijeta Zuzorić” pavilion, once a beacon for the Museum of Contemporary Art, greets us.
Passing through Leopold’s Gate and the Barbican Zindan Gate, you’ll hear significant tales of the Church of Ružica and its resistance. Afterwards, our path continues through Despot’s Gate into the Upper Town, showcasing the beautifully restored tower now serving as the observatory for the “Ruđer Bošković” Astronomical Society.
Our Belgrade tour then brings us to the Victory Monument, adorned with a nude male figure wielding an eagle and sword—a subject of many local legends. Bypassing the misnamed Roman Well, our journey proceeds to the King’s Gate before transitioning back to a vehicle for exploring New Belgrade and Zemun. Crossing the iconic Branko Bridge, we delve into the Pannonian Plain’s rich history, once a vast sea 30 million years ago. A drive past the “Ušće” Business Center, a former political hub, leads us into the charming old town of Zemun. Here, we explore from the historical Stara Kapetanija up to the Gardoš Tower, the last of the original seven towers built on the Austro-Hungarian borders, withstanding numerous conflicts and preserving its heritage.
Descending from the historical Gardoš Tower, we stroll through Gospodska Street, past the old Church of St. Nicholas, and converge at the main square, encircled by the Roman Catholic Church and the bustling City Market. Resuming our vehicle tour, we capture sights of notable buildings like the Air Force Command and Zemun Gymnasium. Our panoramic view of New Belgrade reveals the district’s post-war architectural evolution. As we cross the Gazela Bridge, glimpses of the new Belgrade Waterfront unfold.
Driving through Dedinje, a residential neighborhood of luxury villas, we slowly approach the Temple of Saint Sava.
The tour gracefully concludes at the majestic Church of Saint Sava, one of the largest churches in this part of the world.
After a brief photo stop in front of the Serbian Parliament, we conclude our tour at Republic Square, flanked by the National Museum and National Theatre, right next to the city's pedestrian zone.
