About This Tour

The Belgrade 3-hour small group walking tour takes you through the city center on foot, from the National Assembly to Belgrade Fortress. It’s a good fit for first-time visitors who want a quick overview of the main sights and the city’s history, and then the rest of the day free.

Along the way, a licensed local guide covers Belgrade’s long story: Celtic and Roman beginnings, medieval Serbia, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian rule, and the modern Serbian state.

  • Knez Mihailova Street: Belgrade’s main pedestrian and shopping street, which you walk along on the way.

Tour truly engaging and...

Tour truly engaging and beautifully curated. Isidora is an exceptional guide — deeply passionate about history, impeccably prepared, and gifted at helping you savor the city through her excellent English and her warm, attentive presence. An ideal introduction before exploring the city on your own.

Walking tour: recommended!

The tour is about a 2 hour walking tour around the main sights of Belgrade. Super easy walking, but you do cover some distance! Our tour day was unseasonably warm but our guide Marko actually bought us water along the way which was super sweet. Marko was also incredibly knowledgeable and answered all our (many) questions about Serbia, its history, culture, traditions, and everything else we could think of! Would highly recommend this tour as a good way to get acquainted with the city before diving in to a full trip. We got lots of good recommendations or options for things to see later in our visit, and food spots to try.

I really enjoyed my tour...

I really enjoyed my tour with Nebo. He was very informative and showed us interesting spots in the city. He also gave us many recommendations on where to visit after our tour ended.
