What to visit and see if you are coming for the first time in Belgrade.
Historical significance and sightseeing
First of all, wear comfortable shoes for exploring Belgrade Fortress.
I recommend it to visit because its located on the confluence Danube and Sava rivers, which is by it self breathtaking view.
Belgrade Fortress used to contain the entire city and has lived through 2,000 years of conflict.
The Fortress consists of the old citadel (Upper and Lower Town) and Kalemegdan Park (Large and Little Kalemegdan). There’s history at every turn in the fortress, from the Roman well to the medieval gate of Despot Stefan Lazarević.
Pobednik (Victor) is the postcard monument, a statue wielding a sword and falcon atop a Doric column. This dates to 1928 and commemorates Serbia’s defeat of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empire in WWI.
Also, if you are intrested about Belgrade Military Museum, you can see it on Belgrade Fortress. In the galleries is a hoard of weapons going back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans all way to the modern times . Also, in a museum you can see more sensitive subject matter, displaying some NATO equipment from 1999.
Against the northeast walls of the Belgrade Fortress sits the oldest church in the city -Ružica church (Little Rose Church) and it is a Serbian Orthodox church.
The exact origins of the building are unknown, The earliest mention is from the 1400s.
Nebojša Tower is the only surviving mediaeval tower of the Belgrade Fortress, built in the 15th century and it was the major defensive tower of the fortress for centuries, next to all mentioned there are many other towers and gate complexes such as Zindan Gate Complex, Leopold gate, Defterdar`s Gate and others.
That walk can take around 2hours or more.
On the fortress you can have as well nice drink in Boho bar which is modern place, with cool ambience for good pictures. They serve cocktails but for my taste, Belgrade has much more better cocktail bars but still I recommend to visit for a drink. or two.
