Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Museum of Contemporary Art, Usce 10, Belgrade Serbia
We meet in front of the Museum that is the first exemplary building on our itinerary and one of the first designated points of urban planning of New Belgrade.
You will note how Museum stands right across Belgrade Fortress, on the other bank of Sava river. We'll explore its modernist volumes from outside and reveal why the facade was done in the expensive white stone, so unique and unusual in typical architecture of communist times.
The guide will tell you about the further itinerary, its background and the recent buzz.
Duration: 20 minutes
Pass By: Palata Srbije, Bulevar Mihajla Pupina 2, Belgrade Serbia
We will drive by and speak about Government Building, another monument of socialist architecture and Hotel Yugoslavia, once the most luxurious Belgrade hotel.
Stop At: Genex Tower, Narodnih heroja 43, Нови Београд, Serbia
You'll have a close up of this amazing 30 floor structure, that has won instagrams and hearts of many Belgrade visitors. Built 40 years ago, it was the first smart building in the Balkans and entered the international architecture reviews for its concrete expressionism.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Osnovna škola „Laza Kostić“, Milentija Popovića 72, Beograd, Serbia
We will get inside the Block 23, the most representative communal living project. The apartment buildings, the school, the kindergarten, the sport courts, the mini shopping mall - all was there for the inhabitants.
We'll tell you our personal stories of life in the blocks in its golden decades of 60s, 70s and 80s.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Sava Center, Milentija Popovica 9, Belgrade 11070 Serbia
You will see and enter what was a gigantic congress center in 1970s when it was built, as the first building of that sort in this part of Europe. It's still in function and holds some fantastic interior solutions. Major movie premiers and concerts take place in its main hall.

Xenia gave a great tour of Novi Beograd, explaining the history and architecture of the area. We made several stops, including the Genex tower, the Sava Center and a residential block. The tour was super interesting and gave a great opportunity to see a different side of Belgrade off the usual tourist trail.
