  1. 4 hours Old Belgrade and Zemun

    Meet your guide in the centre and walk down Knez Mihailova Street to Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress, where the Sava meets the Danube and two thousand years of defences sit layer on layer. Continue through the old streets of Dorćol towards the river, then take a short ride across the Sava to Zemun. Finish along Zemun's quay and up the lanes to Gardoš Tower, with a view back over the water to where you started.

Signature moments

Crossing an old frontier

From the fortress walls you look across the water to Zemun, which belonged to the Habsburg lands from 1718 until 1918 while Belgrade faced it from the other side. By the end of the walk you will have crossed that line yourself.
