Signs

During last few months you can see these tourists signs all over Zemun and Belgrade. They are here to help you don't get lost. Well OK I understand that in Belgrade but trust me no way that you will get lost in Zemun. Anyway, here you can see your directions for Zemun Quay, Gardos or City park. Just follow signs and you will find what you need. Welcome to Zemun and have a great time.
