Things to Do in Belgrade: Two Rivers, One City Belgrade exists because of one spot: a limestone ridge where the Sava runs into the Danube. Almost everything enjoyable here, from sunset walks to summer swims, is organised around that meeting of water, so it makes sense to plan your days by the rivers. The ridge at Kalemegdan The fortress stands on a cliff about 125 metres above the confluence, and its park is open 24 hours a day, every day, with free entry.

Belgrade Attraction Tours: Tesla, Fortress, Tower Some Belgrade attractions come with a guide built in, and a few of them need no advance booking at all. This is a short list of visits where you turn up, join the next group and leave knowing something new. Nikola Tesla Museum At Krunska 51 in Vračar, the museum is open every day: Monday 10:00 to 18:00 and Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 to 20:00.

Family Days in Belgrade: Coils, Planes and Playrooms Hold a fluorescent tube near a Tesla coil and it lights up with no wire attached. Children rarely forget that, and Belgrade has an unusual run of hands-on museums that make it a strong city for a family with a mix of ages and a wet-weather plan. The Tesla Museum show The Nikola Tesla Museum, Krunska 51, runs guided tours on the hour.

Romantic Getaways From Belgrade: Wine and Cobbles Pour a glass of Bermet, the spiced dessert wine of Sremski Karlovci, and the reason couples slip out of Belgrade for a day becomes obvious. Belgrade itself is a fine city for a long weekend, and a short train or car ride north adds a wine country day to it. Cobbles and linden trees at Kosančićev Venac Start in Belgrade’s oldest preserved quarter, a lane of cobblestones lined with linden trees above the Sava.

Walking Belgrade: Zemun Quay and Gardoš Tower Zemun feels like a different town, because for most of its history it was one. It was the southern edge of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918, and its cobbled lanes, baroque houses and terracotta roofs are still arranged around a quiet stretch of the Danube. Getting to Zemun Take a city bus or tram from the centre; public transport in Belgrade is free for all passengers.
