Belgrade: New Belgrade Brutalist Architecture Walking Tour｜Serbia

Begin your tour in front of the iconic Sava Centar, Belgrade’s legendary modern congress complex, setting the stage for New Belgrade’s grand socialist design. Explore New Belgrade (Novi Beograd), a monumental socialist urban experiment built from raw concrete, vision, and ambition.

On this walking tour, you won't just look at brutalist architecture; you’ll experience the living history and local rhythm of Serbia’s iconic concrete blocks. Explore how socialist urban planning, modernism, and the unique concept of worker self-management shaped the daily lives of thousands.

Along the way, dive into local neighborhood culture, slow down for a cold beer during a traditional game of boćanje/balote (bocce ball), and wander into the heart of Block 22—a prime example of Belgrade Brutalism. Learn about the philosophical and architectural ideas behind building a "New City" from scratch after WWII.

Continue to Block 23, a well-known icon of Belgrade Brutalism. See high-rise housing and take a walk between schools and kindergartens.
