The oldest parts of Belgrade Fortress Kalemegdan date back to the first century AD, when it served as permanent Roman military camp. The Belgrade fort itself (split into the Lower and Upper towns) and the surrounding area (the Kalemegdan park) are located on the point where the river Sava flows into the Danube, which today means an amazing panorama but once was the main cause of repeated invasion and war over this strategic point. Because of this, Kalemegdan today bears witness to the many centuries of various conquering cultures and arts.

If you want to have a detailed tour of all there is to see on Kalemegdan, you should set out a whole day; however, if you're tight on time, it's still worth it to take an hour's stroll through the Kalemegdan park and over to the rivers. The easiest way to get there is to walk down Knez Mihajlova street from the beginning (from Terazije Square) to the end at Kalemegdan.
