Belgrade is a modern city with a vast historical legacy, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and the world. It has been founded by Celts in 279 BC, settled by Slavs in 520s, and it is famous for being battled over in 115 wars & razed 44 times, and for its centuries-long blend of European & Asian cultures. It is the capital and largest city of Serbia, situated at beautiful confluence of Danube and Sava rivers, with impressive medieval fortress, pedestrian zones & vibrant bohemian quarters, and plethora of museums, temples, and churches. The Tourist Organization of Belgrade presents a large number of attractions to visit, of which a small selection is listed below:
Kalemegdan Park
This is the biggest park in the city and it’s located in the very centre of the Belgrade Fortress. The plateau in the middle of the Fortress was 
transformed into a park during the last few decades of the 19th century. The construction of Veliko stepenište (the Grand Staircase) and the decoration of the walkways with flowerbeds during the period between two world wars, really helped bring the one-of-a-kind view of the Sava and Danube river confluence to life.
Museums, galleries, cultural and historical monuments, the fortress itself, the zoo, fun activities and being able to relax in its nature make Kalemegdan the perfect place to spend an entire day touring this park.
Skadarlija
When you enter this street from the hustle and bustle of busy Belgrade, its as if the gates from a past time open and lead you into this corner where you can feel the historical atmosphere. Belgrade citizens and guests alike excitedly
come to spend their nights in this cobblestoned street with the aim to experience the essence of a past time. Skadarlija became a bohemian part of the city at the turn of the 20th century when actors, writers and painters moved to there, and the taverns of Skadarlija became the gathering places of the most famous individuals who were part of Belgrade culture.
The house where the well-known Serbian writer and painter Đura Jakšić spent his life was turned into a meeting point for poets during their nights in Skadarlija. This Belgrade quarter is compared to the Montmartre in Paris in terms of the appearance and the cheerful arty atmosphere.

It was erected on Vračar hill and it is one of the largest orthodox churches in the world. It was built where, according to legend, the remains of St. Sava, the most significant Serbian saint, the first archbishop and founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church from the 13th century, were burned during the Turkish rule.
