Overview
Belgrade - City of two rivers, where the party never stops!
Belgrade (Beograd) is the capital of Serbia and has a population of around 2 million. It is situated in South-Eastern Europe, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has since ancient times been an important focal point for traffic, an intersection of the roads of Eastern and Western Europe.
There are spots in Belgrade you must definitely see and feel: streets, squares, monuments, parks, drinking fountains, archeological sites, and other sights that deserve a recommendation. Many of them have been given the status of cultural assets.
Belgrade Fortress represents the old citadel and Kalemegdan Park on the confluence of the River Sava and Danube, in an urban area of modern Belgrade. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Stari Grad. Belgrade Fortress was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance, and it is protected by the Republic of Serbia.

Things to do
Explore Belgrade like never before!
1. Sightseeing of Belgrade with a Tour Guide
Grandiose coffee houses and smoky dives pepper Knez Mihailova, a lively pedestrian boulevard flanked by historical buildings all the way to the ancient Belgrade Fortress. The riverside Savamala quarter has gone from ruin to resurrection and is the city's creative headquarters (for now). Deeper in Belgrade's bowels are museums guarding the cultural, religious, and military heritage of the country.
2. Danube Boat Trip
Europe’s second-longest river and the former frontier of the Roman Empire, the Danube flows through several major cities—though few more charming than the capital of Serbia. From scenic riverwalks and floating bars to secluded beaches and wild islands, Belgrade’s pretty Danube banks promise sights and adventure for any city visitor.

Beo zoo park, also known as Vrt dobre nade, is a zoo located in Kalemegdan Park, downtown of Belgrade, Serbia. Founded on July 12, 1936, it is considered to be one of the oldest public zoos in southeastern Europe.
