Description
Discover Zemun on a private walking tour with a local guide. Explore charming streets, visit iconic landmarks, and uncover hidden gems in this historic town.
Meet your guide in Zemun and stroll through its most charming streets. Admire breathtaking views of the Danube, bell towers, and tiled roofs. Peek inside some fascinating churches of different faiths, and stop by the best Belgrade farmers' market.
Along the way, see the Millennium Tower, the Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, and many beautiful buildings in the Secession and Neoclassical styles.
Discover a remarkable example of modernist architecture, the Church of the Monastery of Saint Gabriel and the Church of Saint Roch, Zemun Park, the Armenian memorial khachkar, Zemun Synagogue, the votive Orthodox cross, artisan workshops, remnants of fortress walls, a mural that tells almost everything about Zemun’s life, one of the oldest grapevines in the Balkans, a magnificent panoramic view of Zemun and the Danube, and much more.
Uncover the 'Forbidden City' hidden within Zemun. Spot fascinating monuments, adorable street art, swallow nests so close you could almost touch them, and even real predators. Uncover countless charming details, each with a story waiting to be told.
Talk about serious things and not-so-serious ones too. Discover how many big ideas were born in this small Austro-Hungarian town – from the first Serbian constitution to Zionism. Learn what life was like on the border, where tragic, funny, and occasionally absurd stories were simply part of everyday life.
Find out how to stay both full and tipsy during a war, why building toilets can be a risky business, why anyone would need to speak backwards, what the “plague police” was, and how Europe protected itself from the plague.
Learn how to keep witches and ghosts away from kids, why Serbia needs two alphabets, how pigs caused wars, why you shouldn’t say 'I was so embarrassed I wanted the ground to swallow me up' in Zemun, and where to find the tastiest sweets.
