Belgrade for a weekend
Belgrade is lively, friendly and good value: a fortress park over two rivers, long café afternoons, and nightlife that goes on until morning. Two days cover the centre plus a walk along the Danube to Zemun.
What to see in two days
- Kalemegdan Fortress above the Sava and Danube
- Knez Mihailova pedestrian street
- Skadarlija, the old bohemian quarter
- Temple of Saint Sava
- Zemun and the Gardoš Tower
Where to stay
- Stari Grad (Old Town): Walk to the fortress and the main street Hotels on the map
- Dorćol: Cafés and bars, near the Danube Hotels on the map
- Vračar: Calmer, green, near Saint Sava Hotels on the map
