About Belgrade
Belgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia, situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, with roots that reach back to ancient times. Its strategic location made it a prize for many empires, and the Belgrade Fortress, set on a hill above the rivers, reflects centuries of defense and history. The city is a major cultural center of the Balkans, with galleries, theaters, and museums that celebrate Serbian literature and art. Belgrade is also known for its vibrant nightlife, riverside clubs, and kafanas, which make it a lively and memorable destination. The Kalemegdan park, set within the fortress walls, offers sweeping views over the confluence, while the Knez Mihailova pedestrian street is lined with cafes, shops, and historic facades.
