Welcome to Zemun/Belgrade
Once a separate town, Zemun has been a municipality within the city of Belgrade since 1945. People have settled the area of Zemun as far back as the Neolithic. The history of Zemun as a town in the contemporary sense of the word originates in 1717 with the arrival of the Austrians and its joining the Habsburg Monarchy. It became a significant fortification against Turkey and developed as an economic and trading centre located at the border.
Nowdays, this “town in the city” is rich with cultural and historical sites, famous cafés and restaurants and shops where long-forgotten, decorative or usable objects are being manufactured.
Belgrade (Beograd-its name in Serbian translates to White City) is the capital and largest city of Serbia and it is one of the largest cities in Southeastern Europe. It is also one of the oldest cities in Europe. Since ancient times Belgrade has been an important focal point for traffic, an intersection of the roads of Eastern and Western Europe. The city is situated on the Balkan Peninsula at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
The old city centre of Belgrade is called 'stari grad' and it is located at the South side of the Sava and at the West side of the Danube. The highest point in the old city centre is a hill overlooking both rivers. On top of this hill you will find Kalemegdan fortress which in the past was a strategic important fortress overlooking both rivers. Belgrade is the capital of Serbian culture, education, science and economy. As a result of its tumultuous history, Belgrade has for centuries been home to many nationalities, with Serbs of the Orthodox Christian religion making up the majority of the population (90%). The official language is Serbian.
