[2025 Belgrade Attraction] Travel Guide for Tower Gardos, Zemun (Updated Jul)

#summervacay Gardos Kula (aka the Gardos Tower) is this cute little gem tucked into the Zemun side of Belgrade, and honestly, it feels like a mini time warp. The area around it is full of cobbled streets, old houses, and that kind of peaceful charm you don’t usually get in the city center. Wandering up to the tower is a slow, scenic kind of adventure like you're casually discovering a hidden part of the city. Once you reach the top, the views over the Danube are chef’s kiss. The tower itself has a cool, kinda mysterious vibe, and sometimes there are art exhibits or little events inside. The area’s super walkable, with cozy cafés and quiet corners perfect for just sitting and people-watching. It’s not crowded, not loud, just a relaxing spot that feels like a break from city chaos. If you're in Belgrade and want a chill afternoon with some history and views, Gardos Kula is definitely worth the wander.

#citypassguide #belgrade #serbia 🏰 Day 1 – Kalemegdan Fortress & City Center Kalemegdan Fortress: A must-visit for scenic views over the Danube and Sava rivers. Entrance is free, except for one of the observation towers which charges a small fee. Great spot for photos and sunset. Republic Square (Trg Republike): Central meeting point of the city with a statue of Prince Mihailo on horseback. Most public transport routes start or pass through here. Knez Mihailova Street: The city’s main pedestrian and shopping street — think of it as Belgrade’s version of Istanbul’s İstiklal Avenue. Lined with shops, malls, and currency exchange offices. Great backup if the weather is bad. 🏘️ Day 2 – Zemun & Religious Sites Zemun & Gardoš Tower: Recommended by a friend we met on the Sarajevo–Belgrade bus. A charming riverside district with cobblestone streets and panoramic views from the tower. Public Transport: We used trams and buses often. Only once did an inspector check tickets — we showed our contactless bank card, and it was accepted without issue. One friend was charged, but the rest of us weren’t. Saint Sava Temple: One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Stunning frescoes and an awe-inspiring interior. Partizan Stadium: We casually walked in since it was open and quiet. A fun visit for football fans. Rajko Mitić Stadium (Red Star Belgrade): Entry requires a ticket, but it includes access to the museum and panoramic views of the field. Free Wi-Fi inside. 🏛️ Day 3 – Culture & History National Assembly (Parliament Building): Imposing architecture, worth a photo stop. St. Mark's Church: Built in 1940, a peaceful Orthodox church near Tasmajdan Park. Nikola Tesla Museum: Check the schedule in advance — English tours are only at specific hours. Tours last about an hour and include live demonstrations. Entry: 800 RSD. 🚗 Day 4 – Niche Museums & Fun Automobile Museum: A quirky stop with vintage cars. Car lovers might enjoy it more. Museum of Illusions: Great for photos and interactive exhibits. Fun if you're looking to pass time creatively. 🍔 Where We Ate in Belgrade Drama Ćevapi – Tasty and affordable grilled meatballs, a Balkan staple. Perlo’s Burger & More – One of the best burgers we've had! A bit small, but highly recommended. The owner is Turkish — say hello if you go. We even left our bags there to explore more of the city. Bucko Pizza – Street corner pizza joint selling by the slice. Perfect for a quick bite.
