Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the only one built on the confluence of two rivers – Danube and Sava. Belgrade is the city that never sleeps and the symbol of great nightlife.  Floating clubs on its rivers have become synonyms for never ending fun. Skadarlija, the famous bohemian street, is a place where you can hear music and singing until dawn.

Mix of Tradition & Modern

Belgrade is above all a modern city with population of about 2.5 million people. It is an administrative, political and cultural centre of the country. The sessions of Serbian parliament and government are being held here, and the office of the President is also in it. The buildings that host these institutions are themselves monuments of great cultural importance and therefore a part of every visitor’s itinerary.

The place where city is today has been inhabited from ancient times. One of the cities quarters, Vinca, is the home of prehistoric culture of the same name. Nowadays in it this part of the city you can find an archaeological site. This is perfect for all those interested in very distant history. After this period, many tribes and nations have lived in the area. The Celts have called their settlement Singidun but the Slavs named it “The White City”.

One city – many names

Since the Celts, Belgrade had names – Alba Bulgariae, Alabanandor, Nandoralba, Nandorfejervar, Griechisch Weissenburg, Alba Graeca, Castelbiancho, Singidunum… but the name of the fortress that, when looked at from the Pannonian side and the rivers appears white, remained until today:  WHITE city (BEO grad – Belgrade).

All the people that have lived here and the armies that passed through the city have left their marks on the city, and the magnificent monument named “Victor”, the remains of the famous Kalemegdan fortress, the Stambol gate, the Old Palace and many other sites are inviting you to discover them.

The city never stops growing, and when it has crossed the river Sava, it became “new”. New Belgrade (Novi Beograd) is the center of Serbia’s business.
