5 Places You Should Visit in Belgrade by Car
Belgrade is a city full of history, culture, restaurants, nightlife and beautiful places to explore. While the city centre is easy to discover on foot, renting a car in Belgrade gives you much more freedom to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace.
With Jolly Rent a Car, you can pick up your rental car in Belgrade and start your journey without depending on public transport or expensive taxis.
Here are 5 places we recommend adding to your Belgrade itinerary.
1. Kalemegdan Fortress – The Heart of Belgrade
Kalemegdan Fortress is one of the most famous landmarks in Belgrade.
Located where the Sava and Danube rivers meet, the fortress combines history, green spaces and spectacular views over the city. The surrounding Kalemegdan Park is also a popular place for walking and enjoying the sunset.
The area includes the famous Victor Monument (Pobednik), museums, historic gates and viewpoints over the rivers. Туристичка организација Србије
Why visit?
- Historic fortress and park
- Beautiful views of the Sava and Danube
- Excellent place for photographs
- Close to Knez Mihailova Street
- Perfect for an afternoon walk
Jolly tip: Park near the city centre and continue on foot. Knez Mihailova Street and Kalemegdan can easily be combined in the same visit.
2. Zemun – A Different Side of Belgrade
Zemun is one of the most charming parts of Belgrade and feels quite different from the modern city centre.
Walk along the Danube waterfront, explore the narrow streets of the old town and visit Gardoš Tower for a panoramic view.
The area is also well known for its restaurants and cafés along the river, making it a great place to stop for lunch or dinner.
Why visit Zemun?
- Danube riverside
- Historic streets
- Restaurants and cafés
- Gardoš Tower
- Relaxed atmosphere
Zemun is particularly convenient to visit if you are staying in New Belgrade, making a rental car a practical way to explore both areas in the same day.
3. Avala Tower – Get Above Belgrade
If you want to escape the city for a few hours, Avala Mountain is a great option.
The famous Avala Tower rises above the surrounding landscape and offers panoramic views of Belgrade and the wider area.
Unlike the central attractions, Avala is outside the city centre, which makes having a car particularly convenient.
Why visit Avala?
- Panoramic views
- Nature and fresh air
- Easy half-day trip from Belgrade
- Great location for photographs
- One of Serbia's best-known landmarks
Jolly tip: Combine Avala with your Belgrade city sightseeing and return to the city in the afternoon or evening.
4. New Belgrade – Modern Belgrade
New Belgrade is completely different from the historic centre.
The district is known for its wide boulevards, modern buildings, business centres and large open spaces. It is also home to important landmarks such as the Ušće area and the Sava riverfront.
For visitors arriving at Nikola Tesla Airport, New Belgrade is also one of the first major areas they encounter when entering the city.
Why explore New Belgrade?
- Modern architecture
- Sava river
- Ušće area
- Shopping and restaurants
- Easy access to Zemun and the city centre
And this is exactly where Jolly Rent a Car is based, making it convenient for customers staying in New Belgrade.
5. Knez Mihailova Street & Belgrade City Centre
No visit to Belgrade is complete without exploring Knez Mihailova Street.
This pedestrian street is one of the main meeting points in the city centre and is surrounded by shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and historic buildings. Туристичка организација Србије
From Knez Mihailova, you can easily continue towards:
- Republic Square
- Kalemegdan Fortress
- Skadarlija
- National Theatre
- Belgrade's historic centre
You don't need your rental car for this part of the trip — park nearby and enjoy the city on foot.
🚗 Why Rent a Car in Belgrade?
