Once a separate city, Zemun is now a renowned part of Belgrade, famous for its river taverns, unique atmosphere, and small restaurants specialising in fresh fish from the Danube. The main street of Zemun is home to the Homeland Museum and the Madlenianum Opera and Theatre. Along the Danube, Zemunski kej is a kilometre-long promenade featuring barge-cafés, an amusement park. The former largest hotel in Belgrade, Hotel Jugoslavija, now hosts the Grand Casino. At night, the barge-cafés become the epicentre of nightlife, staying open until dawn. Gardoš Tower, also known as Millennium Tower, stands as Zemun's most iconic symbol, offering panoramic views of Belgrade and a tranquil escape from urban noise. The neighbourhood has retained its authentic charm, with narrow, mostly cobbled streets and individual residential houses.

The Cultural History Museum is located in the Rector’s Palace. A courtroom, dungeon and a scribe’s office are located on the ground floor. A numismatic collection of Dubrovnik coins, seals, weights, and a collection of watches are on the mezzanine level. Beautiful examples of furniture, portraits, uniforms, and an inventory from the Domus Christi pharmacy, as well as various kinds of weapons can also be seen.

The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen presents a demanding and variegated exhibition program at three locations: at the K20 Grabbeplatz, at the K21 Ständehaus and at the Schmela Haus. Around a half-century ago, in August of 1961, the regional government of North Rhine-Westphalia established the Foundation of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. The purchase of 88 works by artist Paul Klee was the “opening salvo.” Since then, the Kunstsammlung has become one of the most recognised art museums worldwide, with a collection which ranges from Classical Modernism to American Pop Art and major contemporary works.
