Belgrade's Historic Centre and Fortress Walk
Start at Republic Square, one of the city's central squares. It took shape in the 19th century, like much of the old part of Belgrade. The area was already inhabited in Roman times, and today it remains a popular meeting point for many Belgraders.
From the square, continue to Knez Mihajlova Street. This approximately 800 m-long pedestrian zone is one of the busiest and most visited streets in Belgrade. It is one of the city's landmarks and a must-see tourist attraction.
Walk to Kosančićev Venac. This part of Belgrade has been continuously inhabited since the beginning of the AD era and preserves the oldest traces of the medieval Serbian settlement. The area is home to several fascinating buildings, including the Question Mark Tavern, the Orthodox Cathedral, Princess Ljubica's Residence, the Patriarchate, and the remains of the National Library, bombed in 1941.
Visit Belgrade Fortress, built at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. The first fortress in this area was built during Roman times. After the fall of the Empire, it was conquered by various nations, including the Huns, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Serbs, Turks, and Austrians. Over the centuries, the fortress experienced numerous destructions and reconstructions.
