Walls That Remember: History, Architecture and Politics

This tour is perfect for curious travelers looking to explore the city’s past through the buildings that have seen it all! Belgrade’s buildings carry the marks of shifting powers, wars, ideologies, and reinventions.

The tour follows the city’s central artery, from the Art Nouveau jewel, Hotel Moskva, to the silence of the bombed General Staff Headquarters, exploring how architecture reflects politics, identity, and change.

Along the way, you’ll see striking contrasts: the bold modernist skyscraper Beograđanka, the regal Old Palace (Stari dvor), a former royal residence, and the Student Cultural Center (SKC), a hub of youth culture and resistance. We’ll also pass by the Old Railway Station, a witness to Belgrade’s past as a transportation and strategic hub. The journey ends in Savamala, a historic district known for its industrial roots and vibrant cultural scene, currently undergoing gentrification that is reshaping its urban landscape.

You’ll visit the beautifully restored Geozavod building and finish at the vibrant KC Grad cultural center, where you can relax and enjoy current exhibitions and events, experiencing a unique blend of history and contemporary creativity.
