Belgrade is a city that lies on two major European rivers - the Danube and the Sava. For most of human history, these rivers have formed the boundary between different peoples and civilizations. Here, nature has drawn a geographical boundary – between the hilly Balkan Peninsula and the fertile Pannonian plain, between the East and the West. The two banks mostly developed under different cultural influences and these differences are visible in Belgrade to this day.

We start the tour in the very centre of the city, on Marshal Biryuzova Street, where we take electric scooters. We descend across Zeleni Venac and Brankova Street to Branko's Bridge. In the middle of the bridge, above the Sava River, we will stop and admire the view of the old town and the Fortress with the Victor monument.
We will try to imagine the way the view of Belgrade looked in some earlier times, when the view of Ottoman Belgrade was observed by Austrian soldiers from the other bank. We will pass by the Old Fair and remember the darkest period of Belgrade's history in the 20th century, the period of Nazi occupation and the places of suffering of those deemed undesirable at the time.
We will continue driving along the banks of the Sava and Danube all the way to the Hotel Yugoslavia, where we will get acquainted with the glamorous history of this place. We will finally reach Zemun, a city in the city, a place that no real citizen of Zemun will tell us is in Belgrade. And we will see the differences right away. We will walk through the central streets of Zemun, which exude the spirit of many other cities of Central Europe. We will walk to Gardoš Hill with its Millennium Tower, and from it we will enjoy the view of Zemun and Belgrade.
We will get acquainted with the story of the famous citizens of Zemun, with Janos Hunjadi, with the Habsburg past of Zemun... After returning to the centre of Zemun, we will continue driving and head back to New Belgrade. Along the way, we will pause in front of the former Palace of the Federation and hear the story of this impressive building. Then we will cross Branko's Bridge to return to the place of departure.
