Belgrade packages for history lovers
Many tourists who come to Belgrade are interested to find out more about its history and how it became the city it is today. That is why many Belgrade packages include tours of its most famous historic sights, and attractions such as monuments, museums, famous buildings and landmarks. The Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan) has to be number one on the list, as this is the place where you can find out a lot about the city’s rich history, while at the same time you can spend a whole day strolling down its narrow paths, relaxing
under the treetops and enjoying the amazing view. The location of the Fortress was convenient as it allowed the settlers to retain control of the Belgrade rivers, and that is the reason why it has been inhabited since the prehistoric ages.
Gardoš Tower
is another historical place that not only serves as a monument to the historical battles and people who used to live here and rule the area, but also because it offers an amazing view of the entire city. It is located in Zemun, a town connected to Belgrade, and surrounded by meandering narrow streets of the Zemun Old town.
Don’t miss to see the residences of the monarchs who used to rule Serbia until the end of WWII. Many of these are open to the public and have been turned into museums where you can learn a lot about Serbian history.

The northern part of Serbia, Vojvodina, differs from the rest, both because of its history and culture, but also geographically. This part of Serbia is mostly flat, it is a plain with corn fields, some small hills, intersected by a network of canals and small rivers that flow peacefully through the fields. Don’t be surprised if it reminds you of Hungary or Austria, as it was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty for many years, and they left their mark on the culture. Cuisine here is also different from the rest of Serbia, and it includes a lot
of fish specialties, spicy food, and wines.
Small, privately owned wineries are well-known in this part of the country for producing great quality wines. The most famous wineries are located on in the Fruška gora region, and around Subotica.
The southern part of Serbia on the other hand will be much more interesting to all those looking for an active holiday.
