Detailed itinerary

With microclimate, presents a true little oasis, just four kilometers away from the center of Belgrade. Because of its natural riches, variety of sports, and numerous restaurants, Ada Ciganlija has become the favorite place for enjoyment, rest, recreation, and entertainment of many local and foreign visitors.
During hot summer days, thousands of citizens of Belgrade come here to cool down, swim, and have fun on the peninsula surrounded by the Sava River and Sava Lake. That is how the nickname “Belgrade’s seaside” was created, through everyday visits to the well-maintained and attractive beaches that adorn the biggest and best-looking swimming and picnic spot of the capital.

The Sava River is known in Belgrade for floating rafts, holiday homes, and river entertainment, many of which have been turned into restaurants with unique atmospheres and the best Belgrade night-outs.

connecting the city center with New Belgrade across the Sava River. Built-in 1956 on the foundations of the 1934 King Alexander Bridge, which was destroyed in World War II, it reconnected Belgrade and Zemun as the only motorway bridge at the time. After several official and unofficial names, the present name stuck after Brankova Street, which extends into the bridge from the direction of the old section of Belgrade.

One of the two oldest fortresses in Europe

Built around 1460 on the bank of the river at the mouth of the Sava River to the Danube. It is about 22 meters high. Its purpose was the protection of the entrance to the medieval port. Built by Hungarians to guard against the Turks from accessing the old and slightly forgotten Danube harbor. Belgrade was then a trading crossroad between Venice and Istanbul - the west and the east. It served as the watchtower and defense rampart.
For decades, it successfully prevented Turkish penetration into the center of Europe. Great Greek revolutionary, Rigas Feraios, was executed here.
The legend says that the tower, was impregnable when after the heavy fighting the Turks occupied almost the whole Belgrade fortress, soared into the air, and flew to the Lower Town far from their reach, so they never got a hold of it. Since then, it has stood here where it is today, testifying to its invincibility.

Exploring this “Belgrade’s jungle” you will be taking a break at Lido, where you will have a chance to take a swim, relax, and enjoy the sandy beach with a beautiful view of Zemun. The tour continues downriver passing by this “wilderness” on the island and it finishes just where you set off.

Stunning view from the river passing beneath the bridges of the city’s last century architecture on one river bank and modern nightclubs on the other bank was till now a privilege of a few.

Zemun, surreal and mysterious, is one of the most beautiful parts of our capital city. Zemun lies on the right bank of the Danube, not far from the confluence of the Sava into the Danube, with its unusual charm and authentic atmosphere. Each corner reveals outstanding cultural and historic monuments like the famous Tower in Gardoš, the Theatre, and the Madlenianum Opera, furthermore numerous shops of forgotten trades, galleries…
