Day 01

Temple of Saint Sava

The Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade, Serbia, is the largest Orthodox church currently in use.
The church is dedicated to St. Sava, the founder of the Serbian Church and an important figure in medieval Serbia.
The temple was built on the Vračar Plateau, on the site where, in 1595, St. Sava's remains are believed to have been burned by the Turkish Sinan Pasha.
From its location, the temple dominates Belgrade's skyline and is perhaps the most monumental building in the city. The construction of the church has been financed exclusively through donations.
The parish home is nearby, as will be the planned patriarchal building.

Day 02

Dedinje and the Museum of Yugoslavia

After our visit to the Temple of Saint Sava, we will take a ride to Dedinje, an urban neighbourhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Savski Venac.
Dedinje is generally considered the wealthiest part of Belgrade and is home to numerous villas and mansions owned by members of the city's plutocracy, as well as many diplomatic residences.
We will also pass by the Museum of Yugoslavia, a complex comprising three buildings and known as the resting place of the former communist revolutionary and politician Josip Broz Tito, as well as his wife.

Day 03

Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress

Kalemegdan Park, or simply Kalemegdan, is the largest park and the most important historical monument in Belgrade. It is located on a 125-metre-high (410 ft) cliff at the junction of the River Sava and the Danube.
Kalemegdan Park, divided into the Great and Little Parks, was developed in the area that was once the town field within the Belgrade Fortress.
Today, residents often mistakenly refer to the entire fortress as Kalemegdan Fortress, or simply Kalemegdan, even though the park occupies the smaller part of the historical fortress and is some two millennia younger.
The fortress, including Kalemegdan, has been recognized as a cultural monument of exceptional importance since 1979. It is also a venue for various sports, cultural, and arts events for all generations of Belgraders and the city's many visitors.

Day 04

Republic Square

Republic Square is one of the central town squares and an urban neighbourhood of Belgrade, located in the Old Town municipality.
It is the site of some of Belgrade's most recognizable public buildings, including the National Museum, the National Theatre, and the statue of Prince Michael. This is where our tour ends.
