View the Glorious Traces of Belgrade 3 Nights tour on Turlago and become part of this unique experience.

Kalemegdan Fortress and the Confluence of Sava and Danube

When one thinks of Belgrade, Kalemegdan Fortress is the first landmark that comes to mind. This historical fortress, perched 279 meters high, is the city's most important symbol and also a wonderful park area. While wandering through Kalemegdan, you can see Roman walls, an Ottoman bath, and Austro-Hungarian structures side by side. Watching the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers from the top of the fortress, especially at sunset, offers an unforgettable view. It's a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Our tour includes a guided visit to Kalemegdan Fortress, taking you on a journey through history.

Skadarlija: The Bohemian Soul of the City

Skadarlija, Belgrade's bohemian quarter compared to Paris' Montmartre, is famous for its cobblestone streets, traditional Serbian restaurants (kafanas), and live music venues. Since the 19th century, this area has been a hub for artists, poets, and musicians. It has a calm atmosphere during the day but transforms into a festival ground at night. Having dinner here while enjoying local rakı and live Serbian music is an essential Belgrade experience. Our tour program includes free time in Skadarlija, allowing you to enjoy as you wish.

Tito's Mausoleum and Yugoslav History

The memorial complex of Josip Broz Tito, the founder of Yugoslavia (Kuća cveća – House of Flowers), is one of the most visited museums in Belgrade. Exhibiting Tito's personal belongings, gifts, and photographs from the era, this museum sheds light on Cold War Yugoslavia. The adjacent Museum of Yugoslav History is also worth visiting. For history enthusiasts, this stop is very meaningful. Our tour can optionally include a visit to this museum.
