Park of Friendship

The Park of Friendship is a green space of roughly 14 hectares situated along the Danube and Sava rivers, running from Hotel Yugoslavia to Branko's Bridge. The grounds feature wide paths beneath established and younger trees that serve walkers, runners, and cyclists alike.

The grounds opened in 1961 as a commemoration of the first Non-Aligned Movement conference held in Belgrade. The initial trees were planted during the opening ceremony, establishing a practice that would continue for decades to come.

The Avenue of Peace within this green space features a memorial with an Eternal Flame and a flower sculpture, surrounded by trees planted by visitors from around the world. Walking through this tree-lined section, you can sense how the place has become a living record of international connections and goodwill.

The space is accessible by local bus lines 15 and 84 and features continuous paths for various activities. The layout allows visitors to set their own pace and easily explore the entire grounds.

The grounds became famous for trees planted by heads of state and prominent visitors from numerous nations, including well-known musicians and European leaders. These plantings turn the park into a place where personal visits and international moments become visible to walkers.
