Once a separate city, Zemun is now a renowned part of Belgrade, famous for its river taverns, unique atmosphere, and small restaurants specialising in fresh fish from the Danube. The main street of Zemun is home to the Homeland Museum and the Madlenianum Opera and Theatre. Along the Danube, Zemunski kej is a kilometre-long promenade featuring barge-cafés, an amusement park. The former largest hotel in Belgrade, Hotel Jugoslavija, now hosts the Grand Casino. At night, the barge-cafés become the epicentre of nightlife, staying open until dawn. Gardoš Tower, also known as Millennium Tower, stands as Zemun's most iconic symbol, offering panoramic views of Belgrade and a tranquil escape from urban noise. The neighbourhood has retained its authentic charm, with narrow, mostly cobbled streets and individual residential houses.

A history-charged natural spectacle is the Sigmund Thun Gorge in Kaprun. Going down to a depth of 32 metres, the Kaprun Ache carved out its 320-metre-long path through the Sigmund Thun Gorge and created distinctive smooth surfaces and deep holes. Moss-covered wood and cragged rocks with symbols and dates, which wood-cutters carved into the stone many years ago, transport visitors back into an earlier time

If you want a break from the city’s streets, the Boboli Gardens offer plenty of green space along with a good dose of history. Spread out behind the Pitti Palace, the gardens are filled with sculptures from the 16th to 18th centuries—and a few pieces dating back to Roman times. While you’re there, don’t miss the Porta Romana nearby, an old city gate with its own story.
