Leave your guidebook at home and trust the knowledge of our local guide, who will captivate you with historical insight into this rising metropolis. The tour starts from the National Parliament, a monumental building constructed at the beginning of the 20th century that witnessed the turbulent history of Serbia. Across from it are the Old and New Palaces, former seats of the royal dynasties Obrenović and Karađorđević, and nowadays the residences of the President and the City Parliament. You will be surprised and dazzled as you discover the mystery surrounding the existence of these royal families.
• At Trg Nikole Pašića, you will "meet" one of the most prominent figures in the history of young and modern Serbia, Nikola Pašić, thanks to whom the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians was created.
• At Terazije Fountain, we continue our journey to Terazije Square - one of Belgrade's central meeting spots since the end of the 19th century. Here, you will have a chance to hear how Hotel Moskva hosted famous scientists, artists, state officials, and even two camels accompanying a high-profile guest from Africa.
