Belgrade Fortress
Belgrade Fortress stands on a hill at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube River and is the heart of the city's history. The history of the fortress dates back to the Roman period, and since then, the Byzantines, Ottomans, and Austrians have successively built and fortified it. The layers of walls and towers bear the marks of different civilizations—the Upper Town preserves foundation ruins from the Roman period, the clock tower built by the Ottomans still stands today, and the fortifications reinforced during the Austrian period are also clearly visible. The fortress is divided into the Upper Town and the Lower Town, with Kalemegdan on its perimeter, where statues of Serbian writers and poets are scattered along the walking paths. In the evening, the sunset turns the confluence of the Sava and the Danube River a golden red. Standing on the fortress walls, you can take in the skylines of both banks, and the sunset view is particularly stunning.Serbia · Belgrade
Church of Saint Sava
Church of Saint Sava is located on the Vračar Plateau in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world and a landmark of Belgrade. The church was built on the site where the remains of Saint Sava were burned—after the Serbian uprising in 1594, the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire ordered the remains of the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and patron saint of the nation to be transported from Mileševa Monastery to Belgrade and burned in public. The church was built to commemorate him. The church features a Serbian-Byzantine Revival style, with striking white marble exterior walls. The central dome is towering and covered with a green copper roof, topped with a gilded cross, making it visible from many corners of Belgrade. The interior of the church is spacious, and the area beneath the main dome is covered with a massive golden mosaic, centered on the image of Christ Pantocrator, which was completed by several Serbian and Russian artists over many years. Standing beneath it and looking up, the golden tones fill the entire view of the dome. The crypt is another major highlight of the visit. This underground hall is decorated in a Byzantine style, with gold as the dominant tone throughout, densely covered with murals and mosaics depicting apostles, martyrs, and saints. The floor is paved with marble marquetry, and some of the inlaid windows use Italian Murano glass. The underground space houses the Chapel of Saint Lazar, where the murals tell the historical stories of medieval Serbia. The church is not only a place of religious worship but also carries the spiritual memory of the Serbian nation. During major religious holidays, a large number of believers gather here from all over to participate in ceremonies.Serbia · Belgrade
Zemun
Zemun is located in the northwest of Belgrade on the right bank of the Danube River. It was once a frontier town independent of Belgrade and was only incorporated into the city in 1934. Because it was long under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it retains a strong Central European character—cobblestone paths, low-rise terraced houses, and Baroque church facades, which form a sharp contrast with the Ottoman atmosphere of the old town. The Millennium Tower on Gardoš Hill, the highest point in the district, is the landmark of Zemun. Built in 1896 to commemorate the millennium of Hungarian settlement, climbing to the top offers a view of the winding Danube River and most of Belgrade on the opposite bank. Walking down the slope from the tower into the old town, you will find 18th- and 19th-century residences on both sides of the narrow alleys. TheChurch of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Maryand an Orthodox church are not far apart, with buildings of both faiths standing side by side. The Zemun Quay along the Danube River is a favorite walking area for locals, lined with cafes and boat restaurants, where swans swim in groups. The nearby Zemun Green Market is one of the traditional markets in Belgrade, with stalls filled with local fruits, vegetables, honey, and homemade pastries. The entire area has a relaxed pace, contrasting with the hustle and bustle of the city center, making it perfect for taking your time to walk and explore.Serbia · Belgrade
Kneza Mihaila
Kneza Mihaila is the main pedestrian shopping street in the center of Belgrade, with a total length of approx. 1 km. One end connects to Republic Square, and the other leads directly to Kalemegdan and the Belgrade Fortress. After walking the length of the street, you can continue up the riverside hill to overlook the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. The street is named after the Serbian Prince Mihailo Obrenović, and his equestrian statue on Republic Square remains a landmark where locals meet to this day. Many mansions built in the late 19th century have been preserved along the street; influential wealthy merchant families of the time bought properties here, and these old buildings now form a charming urban landscape in the Old Town. The entire street is lined with various shops, outdoor cafes, galleries, second-hand bookstores, and antique shops, with street performers and handicraft stalls found everywhere. It is recommended to start from the Republic Square side and take a leisurely stroll to Kalemegdan. Along the way, keep an eye out for the historic building housing the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and if you get tired, there are cafes everywhere to take a break.Serbia · Belgrade
Drina River Small House
Drina River Small House is a scenic view on theDrina in Serbia: a small red-roofed wooden cabin standing on a rock in the middle of the river, surrounded by emerald waters and green mountains on both banks. It is located on the Drina near Bajina Basta, at the foot of Tara, where this section of the river serves as the border between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Initially, it was built by a few local young people who often rested on the rock in the river, using materials found on-site. Over the following decades, the cabin was swept away by rising floodwaters multiple times, only to be retrieved and rebuilt again and again. This persistence in being rebuilt after repeated destruction has become its most moving quality. In August 2012, a photo featuring the cabin was selected as a National Geographic Photo of the Month, and it has since become famous, becoming one of the most iconic sights in Serbia. When visiting, most tourists choose to view it from afar, capturing the view from viewpoints on the riverbank; some kayaking enthusiasts paddle closer for a better look. During the soft light of early morning or evening, the reflection on the calm water and the silhouette of the cabin are particularly photogenic.Serbia · Visesava
Chinese Cultural Center
Chinese Cultural Center faces the old city across the Sava. Today, the Belgrade Chinese Cultural Center has been built on the original site. The building's facade incorporates imagery of Chinese landscape paintings, and statues of Confucius and Laozi stand in front of the entrance. The two monuments in front of the site are the core of this place: one was erected by the City of Belgrade and uses Chinese and Serbian to express gratitude for the support and friendship China provided during difficult times for the people of Serbia, and to commemorate the fallen martyrs. The other was erected by the Chinese side and is inscribed in Chinese, Serbian, and English with "Commemorate the martyrs, cherish peace" in memory of the three martyrs who sacrificed their lives. Fresh flowers are laid before the monuments all year round. There are no typical tourist attractions here, and the site is small and can be seen in a short time. It is a place to slow down, stand quietly, and pay your respects.Serbia · Belgrade
St. Mark Orthodox Church
St. Mark Orthodox Church is a Serbian Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist. Designed by the Krstić brothers, it features a Serbian-Byzantine style, with a facade built from two-colored natural stone. Modeled after the Gračanica Monastery, its layered domes stand out clearly against the greenery of the park. The interior can accommodate thousands of worshippers at once. Upon entering the church, the marble sarcophagus by the south wall is particularly worth a close look—the 14th-century Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan is buried here, and the mosaic above the sarcophagus depicts his coronation. The main iconostasis is carved from marble and inlaid with mosaic icons. The tall apse above the altar features a Venetian glass mosaic of the "Theotokos, wider than the heavens," and the altar dome contains a massive mosaic of Christ Enthroned. A mosaic of Saint Mark is also embedded above the main entrance. The crypt houses the remains of royal family members, including King Alexander I of the Obrenović dynasty and Queen Draga, as well as several bishops. The sacristy on the south side houses numerous icons dating back to the 16th century.Serbia · Belgrade

Free to visit, both day and night, and the nighttime lighting is beautiful.
Although Belgrade is relatively safe, it's recommended to arrive early and leave early in the evening. I went before 10 PM on a Monday, and there were still quite a few people. Instead of walking along the river, I exited the park northeast and entered the old city's food and beverage district, which was safer.

Located in the small town of Zlatibor in southwestern Serbia. In the border river between Serbia and Montenegro. In the past, people spent the summer in the river and stayed there for fun. It was not built by Milutinovic's nephew as the legend goes.

In front of the site of the former Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, there are stone tablets commemorating the three Chinese journalists who died. We came here to pay homage to the heroes who are sleeping in a foreign country, and never forget the national humiliation! The new "Chinese Cultural Center" building was built on the site, reflecting the rise of the Chinese people.
