Beograd is where it is because of its location at the confluence of the Sava and Danube Rivers. First, the Celts and then the Romans settled and built forts here. Huns, Goths and Avars then took their turn before the Serbs showed up in 1403 following their defeat down south in Kosovo. The town never really took off until after WWII, though quick growth is not necessarily pretty growth. The Sava is more at Beograd’s heart. Beginning in the Julian Alps on the Italo-Slovene border and flowing past Zagreb and through much of Croatia, the Sava kind of represents what was Yugoslavia. Boat trips are offered on summer weekends, but there is no regularly scheduled service on the Danube. Don’t come as some in our group did thinking they’d hop on a boat north to Budapest. Serbia is again a landlocked nation though many head to Budva, Herceg Novi and other Montenegrin beaches. For most, relief from the constant humid summer heat is spelled by an appearance and Aidan Island which features beaches along the Sava without the hassle of an overnight bus trip to the Adriatic.

Two boats depart daily for a trip down the Sanube, past the city centre up the Sava river to Ada Ciganlija and back again. It takes about 90 minutes and is a great chance to take some wonderful photos and learn historical facts about Belgrade from experienced tourist guides. The price is very popular, 200din (3euros)

Take your pick-nick or just your ice cream,book & bottle of water on sunny hot day and head towards Kalemegdan. Choose your spot, open your book, and you might be reading, as your gaze drifts towards the view, you forget about everything and you keep dreamin'.... Nothing beats this gerat view from the hart of the old Belgrade.

Belgrade is situated at the place where the Sava joins the Danube. However, there are no regular passenger lines on the rivers, although tourist and individual lines are run occasionally.
High plasticity of Belgrade relief, south of the rivers Sava and Danube, makes the city spread over many hills (Banovo, Lekino, Topèidersko, Kanarevo, Julino, Petlovo, Zvezdara, Vraèar, Dedinje). The Danube flows through 60 km of Belgrade area, from Stari Banovci to Grocka, while the Sava covers 30 km from Obrenovac to its intake. The length of river banks of Belgrade is 200 km. There are 16 river islands in that area, and the best known of them are Ada Ciganlija, Veliko ratno ostrvo and Groèanska ada.
