Hi!!! My name is Jelena and I'm a tour guide and a history teacher. I've left behind the exciting career of a flight attendant to do this and I think it was a great decision!
Hi, dear friends! I would like to call this tour The Honest Tour which would take place from the old railway station through Nemanja's street to the Slavia square, temple of St. Sava and then back to Terazije through King Milan's street. Along the walk we'll talk about the things we come across and about certain Serbian rulers which names these streets bear. The tour is honest because it's purpose is not only praise but the objectivity as well. I hope you will enjoy it!
Stops on this tour
I will wait for you in the vicinity of the monument dedicated to Stefan Nemanja in Savski square. I'll be having my tour guide identification card around my neck with the purple lace attached to it.
Built in 1884. during king Milan Obrenovic with the help and pressure from Austro-Hungarian empire, it was the start of the modern railway system in Serbia. The future of the building is now unknown, with the plan of becoming Serbian history museum.
Just in front of the old railway station is the monument dedicated to the XII century Serbian ruler Stefan Nemanja, which was presented to the public in 2021.
This is the street which was named after previously mentioned Serbian ruler, Stefan Nemanja. It will lead us to Slavija square and St. Sava's temple. During the stroll we'll talk about Stefan Nemanja and other Serbian rulers.
Up untill the late XIX century the space where the square is now located was just a swamp where the Belgrade folk had hunted ducks. Thanks to the foreign businessman this piece of land got it's wider purpose.
According to the legend, St. Sava's relics were burnt here by the Ottomans in 1594/1595. St. Sava was the important person for the autocephaly of the Serbian church in 1219. It took a lot of time for the idea of the temple to come to life. The German ocupation in the 1940s and the communist reign after the war postponed the idea. The 90s also haven't been easy in the former Yugoslavia, so the temple saw its better days at the beginning of the new milennium.
One of the main Belgrade squares, located in the city center near Knez Mihailova street and the Republic square, during the Ottoman rule it was the place where the water scales which supplied the city center with water were positioned. Unfortunately, there are no visible remains of the scales, but the people can enjoy drinks at Ruski car and the views of the hotel, shops and the fountain.
