About the city
About Belgrade
Belgrade is situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans. The medieval town of Singidunum, which is the Slavic name of Belgrade known since 878, was built on the site of today's Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park, above the place where the Sava flows into the Danube. Because of this position Belgrade is appositely called the Gate to the Balkans and the Gate to Central Europe.
One of the most famous writers in Serbia, Dusko Radovic once said:
'Whoever had been lucky to wake up in Belgrade this morning, could be satisfied that for today he achieved enough in life. Any further insistence on something more, would be immodest.' (Dusko Radovic, Serbian poet)
