Belgrade, the vibrant capital of Serbia, welcomed us with open arms during our short two-day stopover on the way from Zlatibor to our next adventure.

It was a breeze hopping on buses and trams, letting us see more of the city without worrying about tickets or schedules. One highlight was visiting the Belgrade Fortress, which has stood for centuries overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. The fortress has been the site of numerous battles throughout history, from Roman times to the Ottoman Empire and beyond, giving us a fascinating glimpse into Belgrade\u2019s strategic importance through the ages. We enjoyed the views from the ramparts\u2014an amazing spot to sit and look out over the rivers.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10617
