Overview
Explore Belgrade’s modern history through the lens of Yugoslavia, socialism, and urban transformation. Starting at Terazije, this tour takes you past the Old and New Royal Palaces, the Serbian Parliament. Also, we pass through Tašmajdan Park, once a limestone quarry, then a World War II bombing site, and now a peaceful urban park.
We reflect on science and symbolism at the Nikola Tesla Museum. While this isn’t a stop for a full interior visit during the walking tour, we pause to reflect on Tesla’s legacy .As we enter the Vračar district, we approach one of the most monumental symbols of modern Serbia — the Slavija Square. Once a quiet roundabout, Slavija became a chaotic urban hub during the 20th century, especially under socialist modernization projects.. The tour ends at the monumental Church of Saint Sava, where religion, nationalism, and ideology intersect.
Learn how Belgrade grew from a royal capital to a socialist hub, and how Tito’s legacy still shapes the city. This tour is perfect for anyone interested in Yugoslavia, Cold War politics, architecture, and the transformation of everyday life in the 20th century.
