The best first thing to book. In 2 to 3 hours you cover Republic Square, Knez Mihailova Street, the fortress park and the bohemian quarter, plus enough background to make sense of the rest of your trip. See all options for a Belgrade walking tour.
Serbian food is a big part of any visit, and a guide knows where to get the good stuff. Expect burek, ćevapi, pljeskavica, kajmak and a glass of rakija. Most last 3 to 4 hours, and you won’t need lunch. Browse the Belgrade street food tour options.
Belgrade sits where the Sava meets the Danube. A 1.5 to 2 hour evening boat ride shows the fortress, Great War Island and Zemun from the water. It’s relaxed and easy for all ages. Most run from spring to autumn.
For many visitors, this is the most interesting part of Belgrade. Tours cover Tito’s House of Flowers, the Museum of Yugoslavia, the breakup of the country in the 1990s and the 1999 bombing. Good guides explain it from several sides. Expect 3 to 4 hours, usually by car or public transport.
Below the city there are Roman ruins, old gunpowder stores, tunnels and Cold War bunkers. These tours are short, about 2 hours, and a good pick on a rainy or very hot day.
Great War Island is a nature reserve in the middle of the city, full of birds and willows. Paddling around it is a calm way to see a side of Belgrade most visitors miss. No experience needed for beginner trips. See tours for kayaking in Belgrade.
Zemun was once a separate Habsburg town, and it still feels like one. Climb to the Gardoš Tower, then eat fish by the Danube. Some walking and food tours include it. Otherwise it’s an easy half-day on your own.
Belgrade’s nightlife is one of the reasons people come. Guided nights out take you through bars in Dorćol and, in summer, the floating river clubs. Free drinks and club entry are usually part of the deal. See the Belgrade pub crawl options.
Rakija is the national drink, made from plum, quince, apricot and more. A tasting with a guide teaches you what good rakija is, and it’s a nice change from a bar crawl.
Some of the best experiences are a few hours away: Novi Sad and the Fruška Gora monasteries, Golubac Fortress on the Danube or the Iron Gates gorge. See all day tours from Belgrade.
The best things to do in Belgrade depend on how long you have.
