Belgrade Travel Guide: 4 Days Exploring the Serbian Capital

#citypassguide #belgrade #serbia 🏰 Day 1 – Kalemegdan Fortress & City Center Kalemegdan Fortress: A must-visit for scenic views over the Danube and Sava rivers. Entrance is free, except for one of the observation towers which charges a small fee. Great spot for photos and sunset. Republic Square (Trg Republike): Central meeting point of the city with a statue of Prince Mihailo on horseback. Most public transport routes start or pass through here. Knez Mihailova Street: The city’s main pedestrian and shopping street — think of it as Belgrade’s version of Istanbul’s İstiklal Avenue. Lined with shops, malls, and currency exchange offices. Great backup if the weather is bad. 🏘️ Day 2 – Zemun & Religious Sites Zemun & Gardoš Tower: Recommended by a friend we met on the Sarajevo–Belgrade bus. A charming riverside district with cobblestone streets and panoramic views from the tower. Public Transport: We used trams and buses often. Only once did an inspector check tickets — we showed our contactless bank card, and it was accepted without issue. One friend was charged, but the rest of us weren’t. Saint Sava Temple: One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Stunning frescoes and an awe-inspiring interior. Partizan Stadium: We casually walked in since it was open and quiet. A fun visit for football fans. Rajko Mitić Stadium (Red Star Belgrade): Entry requires a ticket, but it includes access to the museum and panoramic views of the field. Free Wi-Fi inside. 🏛️ Day 3 – Culture & History National Assembly (Parliament Building): Imposing architecture, worth a photo stop. St. Mark's Church: Built in 1940, a peaceful Orthodox church near Tasmajdan Park. Nikola Tesla Museum: Check the schedule in advance — English tours are only at specific hours. Tours last about an hour and include live demonstrations. Entry: 800 RSD. 🚗 Day 4 – Niche Museums & Fun Automobile Museum: A quirky stop with vintage cars. Car lovers might enjoy it more. Museum of Illusions: Great for photos and interactive exhibits. Fun if you're looking to pass time creatively. 🍔 Where We Ate in Belgrade Drama Ćevapi – Tasty and affordable grilled meatballs, a Balkan staple. Perlo’s Burger & More – One of the best burgers we've had! A bit small, but highly recommended. The owner is Turkish — say hello if you go. We even left our bags there to explore more of the city. Bucko Pizza – Street corner pizza joint selling by the slice. Perfect for a quick bite. #citypassguide
