Fort Belgrade
Belgrade Fortress/Zindan Gate is a fortress located in the northern suburb of Belgrade, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is the most visited tourist attraction in Belgrade.
The Serbian National Museum, the largest and oldest museum in Serbia, was built on May 10th, 1844 and is located on Republic Square in the capital city of Belgrade. In 1979, the museum was recognized as a "highly valuable cultural heritage" and currently holds over 400,000 artifacts. Presently, the museum is undergoing renovations to improve the visitor experience.
Nikola Tesla is hailed as the "greatest scientist in human history" and one of his inventions - the alternating current (AC) system - laid the foundation for modern wireless radio and communications. Although he didn't live in Belgrade, Serbia, he has always been a proud figure for Serbians. Many things, such as Tesla Airport and the 100 dinar banknote with his portrait, prove this point.
After Tesla's death, his nephew Sava Kosanovic inherited his personal belongings, including research materials, books, and photos. According to Tesla's wishes, these private items and his ashes were returned to Belgrade and preserved in the Tesla Museum. The museum also displays many of Tesla's inventions and achievements, showcasing his outstanding contributions to science and technology.
St Sava Church
Walk straight from the exit of the old city center until the end, and you will arrive at this Orthodox cathedral called "St. Sava Church". Most Serbians practice Eastern Orthodoxy and this cathedral is one of the grandest structures in Belgrade, and one of the largest Eastern Orthodox churches in the world.
History Museum of Yugoslavia
The three museums display gifts received from around the world by former Yugoslavian leader Tito, which is very interesting.
National Central Bank Museum
There aren't many central banks that have museums, so this is a good opportunity to visit one and see what they have. Many people are unaware of this museum, so it tends to be not very crowded. Don't forget to take a commemorative banknote with your own portrait on it before leaving, as it's located near the entrance of the exhibition hall. Just ask one of the staff members for more details and don't miss out.
