Destination guide

Belgrade sits at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, and the city's layout — old town on the ridge above Kalemegdan fortress, newer districts spreading south and east, Zemun's low-rise streets across the water — makes a car useful for covering ground the tram network doesn't reach as directly. Nikola Tesla Airport lies about 18 km west of the center, and the Autoput highway south toward Niš starts from the city's edge. Serbia drives on the right.

What to visit

Kalemegdan Park and its fortress overlooking the river confluence are the obvious central stop, with Zemun's Danube-side promenade and Gardoš tower a short drive across the water for a quieter, older-feeling district. Ada Ciganlija, a river island turned recreational park, draws locals more than tourists but is easy to reach by car for a break from the city center.

Route ideas by car

For a day out of the city, Fruška Gora's wooded hills and monasteries lie roughly an hour northwest, with Novi Sad just beyond on the same road. Heading south, the Autoput toward Niš is the main artery for anyone continuing further into Serbia. Central Belgrade's one-way streets and tram lines take some getting used to on a first drive.

Local rental tips

Parking in the old town and around Knez Mihailova is limited and mostly paid, so many visitors park once and walk the central sights rather than moving the car repeatedly. Some central streets restrict access for non-residents, so check the route your navigation gives you before committing to it.
