Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade, at the junction of the Danube and the Sava Rivers, is Serbia’s capital, and, with its population of 1,5 million, also its largest city. Destroyed and rebuilt a number of times during its history, Belgrade has, as a result, fewer monuments to add to its fame. The city consists of 3 districts: Novi Beograd, which is the modern part of the city and the central shopping area; Zemun, which was originally an independent settlement, later joined to Belgrade; and Stari Grad, the old part of the city. The last, located on the opposite side of the Sava, is known for its cobble-stone streets, charming restaurants and Belgrade’s most important attraction – the famous medieval Kalemegdan fortress.
