Best views of Belgrade – From Kalemegdan to the 41st floor of Kula Belgrade

Belgrade is a city best explored from different perspectives. The Sava and Danube rivers, historic landmarks, Zemun’s rooftops, the green slopes of Avala and the city’s modern skyline all offer completely different views. If you’re looking for the best views of Belgrade, we’ve selected four viewpoints worth visiting – from classic city panoramas to a view from 155 metres above the ground.

Kalemegdan – A classic view of the confluence of the Sava and Danube

Kalemegdan is one of the first places to visit if you want to see Belgrade from a different perspective. From the plateau near the Victor Monument, you can enjoy views of the confluence of the Sava and Danube, Great War Island, the bridges and New Belgrade.

In addition to its panorama, one of Kalemegdan’s main advantages is its location in the historic heart of the city. You can combine the view with a walk through Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park before continuing your exploration of central Belgrade. Kalemegdan is therefore a great choice for those who want to combine sightseeing, history and a leisurely walk without having to purchase a ticket.

Gardoš Tower – A view of Belgrade from the Zemun side

For a view from the other side of the city, head to Zemun. At the top of Gardoš Hill stands Gardoš Tower, also known as the Millennium Tower, offering views of the rooftops of old Zemun, the Danube and New Belgrade.

This viewpoint offers a different way to experience the city, as you can combine the panorama with a visit to Zemun – from strolling through its narrow streets to walking along the Danube riverfront. Gardoš is particularly charming in the early evening, when the city lights are reflected in the Danube and create a completely different atmosphere.

If you want to make a viewpoint part of a wider city tour, Gardoš is an excellent choice.

Avala Tower – A panoramic view of Belgrade from above

For a panoramic view of Belgrade outside the city centre, Avala Tower is one of the options to consider. Located on Mount Avala, around 30 kilometres from central Belgrade, the tower offers a completely different perspective from the city’s urban viewpoints.

From the viewpoint, you can take in Belgrade and its wider surroundings, while a visit to Avala is also an opportunity to escape the city crowds and spend some time in nature.

Avala is therefore a great choice for those who want to combine a view of the city with a trip outside the centre and experience Belgrade from a broader perspective.

Belgrade 360 Deck – 155 metres, 360 degrees, in the heart of the city

If you want a panoramic view, but don’t want to leave central Belgrade, Belgrade 360 Deck offers a different experience. Located on the 41st floor of Kula Belgrade, 155 metres above the ground, the indoor observation deck offers 360-degree views of the city.

From a single viewpoint, you can see Belgrade Fortress, the Temple of Saint Sava, Avala, New Belgrade and other recognisable parts of the city, while the panorama changes depending on the time of day.

What sets 360 Deck apart from traditional viewpoints is not only its height and panorama. The interactive kaleidoscopes allow you to explore more than 80 locations across Belgrade and learn more about the landmarks you can see, while a café and souvenir shop are also available.

The indoor setting is another advantage for those who want to enjoy the view regardless of the weather conditions.

Which viewpoint should you choose?

The best choice depends on the kind of experience you’re looking for.

Kalemegdan is ideal for a classic view of the confluence of the Sava and Danube, combined with history and a walk through the fortress. Gardoš offers a view from the Zemun side and the opportunity to combine the viewpoint with a visit to old Zemun. Avala is a good choice for those looking for a panorama outside the city centre and a trip into nature.

Belgrade 360 Deck offers a different combination – a panoramic view of Belgrade from 155 metres above the ground, right in the heart of the city, in an indoor setting, with 360-degree views, interactive experiences and a café.

From free city viewpoints to a panorama from the 41st floor of Belgrade Tower, each of these viewpoints offers a different way to discover Belgrade and its skyline.
