General presentation
Belgrade
Serbian capital at the confluence of the Sava and Danube, between fortresses, living quarters, museums, cafes and large water fronts.
Kalemegdan, San Sava Temple and Skadarlija give the most telling landmarks of Belgrade. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fortress and park
Kalemegdan
Kalemegdan overlooks the confluence of the Sava River and the Danube, with ramparts, alleys, museums and long views of the two rivers. It is the best entry point to understand Belgrade as a city of passage, defense and walking.
Religious heritage
Temple Saint-Sava
The temple of Saint-Sava is impressive with its ladder, dome and bright mosaics. The visit complements the central neighborhoods, showing a Belgrade more monumental and spiritual than the lively streets of the old town.
River and panorama
Confluent Save-Danube
The confluence of the Sava River and the Danube River gives Belgrade Its strongest opening, between Kalemegdan, Novi Beograd and the island of the Great War. A walk by the water helps to read the scale of the capital.
