Add this city to your European bucketlist 😍 📍 Viking helped us check off a MAJOR bucket list experience today as we explored Belgrade, Serbia — one of the most spectacular (and surprising!) cities in all of Eastern Europe! 🇷🇸✨ Belgrade is one of those places you visit and immediately think: “Why didn’t we come here sooner?!” 😮 🫶 Viking arranged a private walking tour with the most passionate local guide who answered every question we threw her way — from Belgrade’s complex history to daily life during the Yugoslav era to her personal memories of how the city has transformed. Here’s what made today unforgettable 👇 🏰 Kalemegdan FortressThis is the fortress you have to see in Belgrade — perched high above the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers, with roots dating back nearly 2,000 years. We were blown away by its Roman foundations, Ottoman touches, Austro-Hungarian influence, and sweeping city views. ⛲ Knez Mihailova StreetOne of Europe’s most beautiful pedestrian promenades — full of charming cafés, bookstores, street performers, and gorgeous architecture. The energy here is unreal! ⛪ St. Sava TempleOne of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The interior mosaics? Absolutely jaw-dropping and home to the largest wheel-chandelier in the world! 🎭 Skadarlija Bohemian QuarterA time capsule of old Belgrade with cobblestones, colorful facades, and musicians around every corner. You feel like you’re walking through art. Then it was back on board for one of Viking’s specialties — a traditional Serbian music and dance performance that brought the culture of this country to life in the most joyful way. This journey with Viking River Cruises just keeps getting better. Follow along to see what’s next as we keep traveling through Eastern Europe! 🌍✨ #belgrade #serbia #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #vikingrivercruise #easterneurope #unexpectedupgrade
