Sights
In Belgrade, there are many sites that are interesting and may be part of your tour. Although many magnificent buildings, monuments, archives and cultural institutions were irreparably destroyed throughout the centuries, Belgrade has still managed to hold on to some gems. Below is our recommendation for the TOP 5 sites not to miss on your White City tour!
Buildings
Belgrade buildings are a mixture of architectural styles, most of them are enlightened by Academism, Art Nouveau, Renaissance and Romanticism. Several decades of communist rule have made the architecture in Belgrade a bit chaotic; an unusual combination of beauty and, we feel free to say, ugly-gray.
Streets and squares
Belgrade has a lot of boulevards and squares, but its center is a labyrinth of small streets filled with greenery, where you will be so happy to stroll! Turn freely of the Knez Mihailova street to Karadjordjeva, from where you will descend to the river. Or, climb down to the Marine Dorćol by beautiful streets of the Upper and Lower Dorćol! Or simply let your feet take you! Around every corner something new is waiting for you, some new unforgettable sight!
Churches
Serbs are mostly Orthodox Christians, very religious and adhere to their traditions. After the fall of communism, the people started to turn back to their religious roots looking to restore their tradition, spirituality and culture.
