Without many people, you will enjoy this pedestrian zone in all it’s glory. At the end of Knez Mihailova, great Kalemegdan fortress follows. A fairy tale castle, a great plateau overlooking across the river. Next places are beautiful quays. Belgrade is blessed with two great European rivers: Sava and Danube.
