City of Belgrade

Belgrade is a city that sits where the Sava and Danube rivers meet, spreading across a large area on both sides. The city divides into central and outer neighborhoods, each with its own character and layout.

People have lived here since Roman times because of the protected location where two rivers meet. The city then came under Ottoman and later Austrian rule, each period leaving marks on its growth.

The city hosts theaters, concert halls, and galleries that blend local traditions with contemporary art forms, reflecting what matters to people living here today. You'll find these venues scattered across neighborhoods, each drawing different audiences.

Trams, buses, and trolleybuses connect the center with outer areas, making it easy to move around the city. These services run on regular schedules and reach most neighborhoods you might want to visit.

The city serves as both the administrative capital and as a geographic region, so its boundaries extend far beyond the densely built center. This dual role makes it different from how most other Serbian cities are organized.
