Belgrade | The Heart of Former Yugoslavia, A City Where History Still Lives

Experiencing the scars of war and the vibrancy of modern life in Serbia's capital. Belgrade, located at a strategic point on the Balkan Peninsula, has played a significant role throughout history. During the era of former Yugoslavia, it served as the capital. Today, the cityscape is a blend of modern development befitting a capital city and areas that evoke a sense of history. 🕊️【Learning History】 - In contrast to the perspective of "Serbian invasion" learned in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgrade still bears the marks of NATO airstrikes within the city. - A place where you can tangibly feel how history is perceived differently depending on the country you visit. - It was a time to deeply appreciate the importance of peace. 🏙️【Belgrade's Cityscape】 - As a capital city, it is well-developed, featuring skyscrapers and bustling shopping areas. - The old town is lined with classical buildings, offering a quintessential European atmosphere. - Situated at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, the riverside scenery is also a highlight. 🌉 ⛲【Recommended Areas】 - Kalemegdan Fortress: Located on a hill in the old town, offering stunning views of the Danube River. - Republic Square: The lively center of the city, with numerous cafes and restaurants. - Saint Sava Cathedral: One of the largest Orthodox churches in the Balkans, majestic and awe-inspiring. ⛪ 📍【Access】 - Accessible by bus and train from various countries. - Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) is about a 20-minute drive from the city center. ✨【Highlights】 - A unique city where you can learn about both "war and peace." - While it includes heavy themes, it adds depth to your travels. - Serbian cuisine is delicious, and exploring the city is enjoyable. 🍖
