A Crash Course through Serbian History

About this experience

So, you have found yourself in this city of Belgrade and you have no idea where exactly you are?
You are also interested in everyday world politics and have the desire to know how we got here, or where it all went wrong?
Well, you are in the right place for that.
Since the time of Christ, Belgrade was always an important outpost on the border of two civilizations, between the East and the West... Celts, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, Austro - Hungarians, Germans, Russians... they all fought and died to capture or liberate the White city (Beo-grad), and left their bones here. Many empires collided here, and world history was shaped on these two mighty rivers, where Belgrade proudly stands today as a Serbian capital. Let us take to the journey through time, where we explain world politics, geography, and geopolitics and more you wanted to know about the Balkans, but you were afraid to ask.

Itinerary and highlights

One of the most important places in the city and some of the most interesting stories. The tale of the two dynasties, two royal courts and much more..

Built on a ridge that separates the city into two parts, a natural choice for the main pedestrian area and the main street since Roman times.

Skadarska street: Feel the true spirit of Bohemia in this old and unique quarter of Old Belgrade.

Located on a hilltop above the confluence of two mighty rivers, Kalemegdan fortress has a rich and violent history. We will visit promenade from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Sava river and Monument of Gratitude to France. Latter on we will visit a monumental Victor statue and a grave of Ottoman vizier Ali-Pasha.

This lovely church was built in 15th century, destroyed in 16th and then rebuilt in 19th so it guards a great part of city history.

Built within an academic neighborhood of Belgrade, this park is loved by students who pass time between lectures here, enjoying the greenery of the very city center.
