What You Will Do
This tour of Zemun is special. How else could one describe a walk through the charming old town, which is not only hidden, like a nesting doll, in another city but which also hides another city within itself? And we will certainly find that third city together. We will take a stroll along the paved streets between vine-covered houses with tiled roofs, feed the swans on the Danube, peek into courtyards and look for treasures, legends, secrets, and funny stories scattered throughout the city of Zemun.
But don't let this dreamy picture deceive you. Zemun, as every proper fairy-tale city should, has a secret or dark side, which has not only changed the fate of the country more than once but also the fate of Europe. But that doesn't scare us, does it?
This city tour is beautiful, simple, and full of amazing stories. Without them, it is impossible to understand neither Belgrade nor the rest of Serbia. We would recommend you take it after the sightseeing tour of Belgrade.
