The standout feature of the modern Vračar neighbourhood is the Temple of Saint Sava, the second-largest Orthodox church in the world. Its construction has not only defined the Plateau's current appearance but also shaped the skyline of Belgrade, making it visible from most parts of the city. The Plateau underwent a transformation in the early 2000s, with the addition of fountains, marble access roads with pillars leading to the temple, and children's playgrounds. The existing Karađorđe Monument, the leader of the First Serbian Uprising, remains a key element. The plateau is also home to the National Library of Serbia and Karađorđev Park. Nearby, you'll find the artisan settlement of Gradić Pejton and the bohemian quarter of Čubura.

The building alone is well worth a visit. In the 16th century, the Lanfranchi family built this palace leaning against a group of medieval structures showing paintings dating to that era. In 2007 Palazzo Lanfranchi became the Graphic Museum, where you can see collections of prints and drawings from the University of Pisa, take part in educational and art events.

The Museum of Cathedral Works (Museo dell’Opera del Duomo) opened in 1986 to showcase the art and sculptures of Pisa. Today, its collection includes works which previously adorned the buildings in the Piazza dei Miracoli. After the big three (the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral and the Baptistery), this is the fourth major landmark to fit into your time schedule. You will find this interesting museum behind the Leaning Tower.

Once used for shipping in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the piers are now used for their views, as well as for recreational fishing. The Avila Beach Pier is the first of the three piers and was first constructed in 1908 by the county of San Luis Obispo. Over two thousand local residents gathered there April 30, 1908 when President Teddy Roosevelt's “Great White Fleet” anchored offshore. The Harford Pier was developed in 1873 and now is used for fishing, restaurants and commercial fishing. The last pier, the California Polytechnic State University Pier, is an educational/marine research facility.
