2 day – Walking tour of Belgrade – Beolgrade Waterfront
Breakfast. After breakfast, we suggest a detailed city exploration guided by our tour guide. First, we will head to the Kalemegdan Fortress, and then take a stroll down
Knez Mihailova Street. We don't want you to miss a visit to the renowned Nikola Tesla Museum and to hear the fantastic story of his life and his achievements. To
conclude the tour, we will also visit the Temple of Saint Sava, which is the largest Orthodox temple in the Balkans.
After exploring the city, we will head to Belgrade on the Water - an urban city project that has become a true sensation among both domestic and foreign visitors. With its size, beauty, and innovative buildings, Belgrade on the Water has over time become the new heart and recognizable symbol of Belgrade and the famous Belgrade spirit. Nestled between the two famous rivers, the Danube and the Sava, Belgrade on the Water is, in the opinion of many, a monumental project representing a new,
somewhat more urban, and certainly more modern Belgrade spirit.
Optionally, we can organize a 90-minute cruise on the Danube and Sava rivers. Free time for enjoyment, photography, walking, as well as shopping at the Galerija Shopping Center - the largest shopping center in the region. Return to the hotel in the evening. Free time for individual activities.

We'll take a short break and have lunch at the Čakmara Ethno House.
The Ethno House is rich in traditional dishes, authentic beverages, and friendly service. It has a touch of the museum, yet it's so practical that all impressions remain
vivid and resist modernization. Here, you will hear the sounds of the flute, accordion, and a measured singer, and, above all, you will learn that our past is the heaviest
and easiest burden to bear. Arrival at the hotel. Check-in and free time for a stroll, shopping, and other activities. Overnight stay.
