Our guide will tell you the story about the first Serbian Royal family and the first Serbian Archbishop named Rastko Nemanjic. On the same plateau you will see as well the statue of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest scientists of all time, and the building of National Library, built during the WWII.
The tour continues to Slavija Square, named after one of the oldest hotels in Belgrade, built in 1888. This is one of the biggest squares in Belgrade, where 7 streets are crossing. Here our guide will tell you captivating story about Belgrade Phantom. After Slavija Square, we proceed to King Milan Street and one smaller, but charming square called Flower Square with two important cultural buildings for Serbians. First one, is Yugoslav Drama Theatre rebuilt in 2003, and the second one is Students Cultural Centre, where the first rock and roll performance was held in Belgrade.

On our way to the main Republic Square, we will pass by two more smaller squares named Nikola Pasic Square and Terazije Square with the most beautiful hotel in Belgrade, hotel “Moscow”.
On the Republic Square, which is considered to be the main meeting point in the city itself, you’ll see National Theatre, National Museum and the monument dedicated to one of the greatest Serbian rulers prince Mihail Obrenovic.
Afterwards, we take a stroll through Knez Mihailova street, main walking and shopping zone. This crowded and lively street will lead us to Kalemegdan/Belgrade Fortress.

AMAZING INTRODUCTION TO BELGRADE My wife and I booked this private walking tour of Belgrade at the last minute due to a dropped ball by another tour operator. This turned out to be the best possible outcome and set an excellent tone at the start of our 5 days in Belgrade. Our Tour Guide was Nina, who is an exceptional guide with a happy personality and a deep knowledge of Belgrade, of Serbia and of the history of the Balkans. She tailored the pacing of the tour to allow us more time in St Sava Church and to explore to city and the fort. It was a memorable experience that led to us booking several more tours with Serbia Inspired Tours. Our visit to Belgrade would not have been so successful if we had not met Nina and her sister Jelena, (who is also a tour guide). My wife and I have traveled widely and this was one of the best experiences I have ever had exploring a city and country for the first time.

Nina was great. Very knowledgeable of not just Serbian history but also the greater Yugoslav history. We engaged in a lively discussion about current events and how the connection of past events led to today’s Serbia. Would highly recommend Nina.

Nina was really amazing... and Jelena from the office as well. Belgrade was not included in the regular agency tours we were offered, we decided to drive from Sarayevo and scheduled Zagreb as our last stop. The drive was DEFINITELY worth it. Belgrade is beautiful. The churches are astonishing, the fort a historic showcase, and Skalardija was enchanting.
