Book Flights to Belgrade

Explore Belgrade’s fascinating museums

Belgrade has a long and fascinating history. There’s no better way to learn more about its heritage and culture than by touring the city’s excellent museums. The recently renovated National Museum boasts three floors of exhibitions and a vast array of archaeological treasures. The Museum of Yugoslavia is home to more than 200,000 artefacts.

Art lovers should make a beeline for the Museum of Contemporary Art and its surrounding sculpture park. At the same time, science buffs will enjoy the Nikola Tesla Museum and its wealth of interactive features.

Discover the monumental Belgrade Fortress

When you fly to Belgrade, you can’t miss this incredible fortress. Also known as Kalemegdan, it sits atop a hill overlooking the convergence of the Danube and Sava rivers.

Its tumultuous history dates to the second century and it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. Climb the clock tower, peer down the Roman well and admire the view across the water.

The surrounding Kalemegdan Park is home to a landmark statue called The Victor and has become a popular spot for couples to watch the sunset over the city.

Tour the city’s neighbourhoods

Belgrade is best seen as a series of neighbourhoods, each with a distinct atmosphere and charm. Stari Grad (Old Town) is the centre of activity – full of attractions, restaurants and nightlife – but don’t feel limited to just this area.

Wander through Skadarlija, a former bohemian quarter, to find boutique shops and chic cafes, or venture out to Ada Ciganlija island to hit the (artificial) beach. Zemun is a delightful, peaceful area, while Novi Beograd (New Belgrade) and Savamala are hubs of modern development and creativity. Each neighbourhood you visit will show you a different side of the city.
