As you explore this open air musem, your guide will reveal countless sites and captivating stories. This exploration is the perfect introduction to Belgrade’s rich past.

During the tour through the Fortress you'll walk by the open exhibition of Belgrade Military Museum. Here you can see weaponry from WWI and WWII, but also a '99 Yugoslav Army missile launcher which hit and brought down the "invisible" F-117 stealth bomber. You'll learn from the guide how Yugoslav Air Defence managed to "see" it on the radar and hit it.

Top tour - abslout recommended!

This was one of the best tours we ever did and that was due to our wonderful guide Dusan. He is very punctual, knowledgeable, humorous, committed and has responded flexibly to our interests. Organization was perfect, pick up by minivan outside the hotel. Dusan's English is also perfect, so we all understood him perfectly. I have been to Belgrade several times, but I have been able to learn new things from Dusan. Such a dedicated guide is what you want for every destination!
