Oct 7 - Exploring Belgrade on foot

After lunch, we went to explore Belgrade on foot. First stop, was Belgrade Fortress that sits high above the Danube River. We didn't go into the fortress itself, but walked around the beautiful grounds that surround it and took in the lovely views of the river.

Then we headed into the heart of the city. The juxtaposition of architectural styles is what struck us most - old butted up right beside very new (and usually very plain, bordering on ugly). The city has many huge pedestrian-only streets that were alive with Saturday shoppers and thousands of people enjoying outdoor dining and drinking in the hundreds of little cafés that line every street. We saw three weddings - one at a church, one high up at the fortress and another down by the waterfront. Love is all around in Belgrade.

We have an early dinner tonight, and then we head to a concert at St. Sava's Church. This type of private concert is a signature offering of Scenic Cruises.Læs mere
