Belgrade City Guide

Belgrade, meaning the ‘White City’ in Serbian, is the capital of the Republic of Serbia. Over the years the city established itself as a popular tourist destination, thanks to its amazing blend of architectural styles, long history, and vibrant nightlife. This ‘Berlin of the Balkans’ that dates back to the 4th century BC is located in the heart of Serbia, on the confluence of two major European rivers, Sava and Danube.
