Description
Explore Zemun in an unprecedented manner! Zemun is not a city within a city—it is a living book written in the languages, beliefs, and customs of different nations.
The "Living Together" tour explores the extensive history of one of Belgrade's most diverse neighborhoods, where Hungarians, Serbs, Jews, Greeks, Croats, Aroumanians, Czechs, and Germans have coexisted for generations. From the Millennium Tower to the Synagogue, each location conceals a narrative of coexistence, tolerance, and identity. On the " Living Together " tour, we stroll along the footsteps of Hungarians, Serbs, Aroumanians, Greeks, Croats, Germans, Jews, and Czechs—these nations that have collectively shaped the identity of this neighborhood.
We visit the symbols of diversity:
From the Millennium Tower, a symbol of Hungarian power, to the synagogue—witnessing the presence of the Jewish community;
From the house of the Karamata family—this Aroumanian-Serbian merchant family, to the house of Ichko—this diplomat who connected East and West.
We sneak into the once "White Bear Inn," the best-preserved old Turkish tavern in Belgrade, stroll along the main street, and finally arrive at the Town Square—where all cultural layers of Zemun converge.
This tour is not just a historical walk—it's a story about cohabitation, differences, and their power, a story about community building that continues to this day. It is perfect for anyone who wants to understand the spirit of Zemun from the inside—culturally, identifiably, and emotionally. Zemun is waiting for you to discover it from a new perspective. Join us in experiencing symbiosis through stories, architecture, and forgotten voices.
