Belgrade Old City 2-Hour Walking Tour

Trg Republike

We'll meet at Republic Square, in front of a Horseman Statue (Prince Mihailo monument). Here you will hear pieces of information about the most important buildings surrounding the Square: National Museum and National Theatre, and a short explanation of why Prince Mihailo is one of the most important figures from Serbia's modern history.

After a short walk, we'll reach Student's Square (Studentski Trg). This square is the oldest urban city square in Belgrade, with one of the city center's most classical surroundings. It is also an academic hotspot, with a beautiful park in the middle of it. Belgrade doesn't have a campus, but the largest number of important educational institutions are located right here: Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Philology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and the magnificent Captain Miša's Edifice - the headquarters of the University of Belgrade. Here you will hear stories about Captain Miša's charity and generosity and about some of the most significant Serbian minds and scientists.

Dorcol

Our next stop will be Dorćol. Today, this is one of Belgrade's most vibrant neighborhoods, with plenty of exciting cafes, galleries, restaurants, and museums. Dorćol has a unique charm, and its tenants, including actors, university professors, lawyers and journalists, are very proud of it. The name comes from the colloquial Turkish word for 'crossroads,' and the neighborhood was a busy trading point during the Ottoman occupation. Here we'll stand in front of the Jewish community center, and you'll hear a story about the Jewish community in Belgrade, about their everyday life and work and their dreadful destiny during WW II.
