The tomb and sarcophagus of Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia. Stefan Dušan, king of Serbia (1331–46) and “Emperor of the Serbs, Greeks, and Albanians” (1346–55), the greatest ruler of medieval Serbia,
The Old Palace, the Royal Palace of the Obrenović dynasty of Serbia, presently housing the City Assembly of Belgrade, is situated at the corner of Kralja Milana and Dragoslava Jovanovića streets. It was built between 1882 and 1884, according to the design of Aleksandar Bugarski. By its external architecture the building is one of the most beautiful achievements of academism in Serbia of the XIX century.
Start of the tour is in front of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. National Assembly building with the sculpture group “Play of the black horses” is one of the most beautiful buildings in the center of Belgrade. The construction lasted long, almost 30 years, mainly because of lack of finances and wars and even because of misunderstanding in society.
The fountain was erected as a utilitarian and decorative object at Terazije in 1860.
The monument was done by a world famous sculptor Enrico Pazzi, while the decorative reliefs of the monument were designed by Konstantin Jovanovic.
Knez Mihailova is a big pedestrian street located in the center of Belgrade, near to the Kalemegdan Fortress.
The strategically convenient location of the ridge at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube, which dominates the surroundings and enables control over the plain from its north and west side, had been inhabited since prehistoric times.
The building of the Clock Tower started under the Austrians, but finished under the Turkish rule, between 1740 to 1789.
Monument of Gratitude to France is located just outside Kalemegdan Fortress as a symbol of friendship and cooperation between Serbia and France during the World War I.
The Keys Handover Memorial in Belgrade, Serbia, marks the spot where on 6 April 1867, the town keys of the several Serbian fortresses were given to Prince Mihailo Obrenović by the Ottoman Turks. That moment was an important step towards Serbian international recognition at the Treaty of Berlin in 1878.

Aleksandar was the most incredible tour I have ever had in my life. I am Serbian, and my boyfriend is American so I booked us private tour, we were both blown away by the amount of knowledge and just in general vibes!! We both learned so much which let to so many conversations after the fact. So highly recommend him! He is worth every penny and some more.
We had an excellent, entertaining, and very informative tour with our guide Alessandra. He provided much insight into the history and culture of Belgrade and Serbia. He also highlighted areas which we should come back to if we wanted to take more time. My wife who is Serbian and I highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
Tour guide is very knowledgeable and easy to get on with. He was able to answer questions and also provided some places to check out independently. After tour was over he suggested that I take a walk along the Danube as it would take me back to my hotel. Turned out to wan excellent suggestion. I recommend this tour.
Entertaining tour of central Belgrade. The mixture of antiquity, socialism and modernity of the city becomes visible. The tour is easily done on foot.
If you come to Belgrade, this is the only tour to do!! The guide, Aleksandar, is incredibly wise and knowledgeable. He will customize the tour if you want to see certain things.
It was a fantastic tour around Belgrade. Alexander is a great guide. His English an enthousiasme about Serbian culture is outstanding! He guides us along Belgrade highlights and tells a lot what you see, and why. We drink a nice cup of coffee in a traditional spot. Where I have solo my unforgettable lunch. Thx a lot Alexander to invite me by this way of the interesting city of Belgrade!
Wonderful tour. It was just me because it was a weekday in January, but that made it so much better. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable and really does a great job of teaching a very complex history. We took a few detours that made everything seem spontaneous. One of the best guided walking tours I've had the pleasure of taking.
Excellent tour, with a knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic local guide who really knows his stuff. Excellent English too. The perfect tour: you learn a lot and you meet a nice human being.
I would sincerely recommend this trip to other travelers. Don't mind if you are solo, it can be a great benefit!
Very knowledgeable and personable. A great experience. I learned a lot and enjoyed myself very much indeed.
