Situated at the junction of two international rivers, Danube and Sava, Belgrade offers great opportunities for river cruising. The Confluence itself represents one of the most attractive places in the city, just below the Belgrade Fortress, and right next to the Great War Island, an oasis of untouched nature. The river banks never sleep: on numerous floating restaurants and clubs, visitors can enjoy the view, fish specialities, and local beverages.

Beside the well known beach of Tylösand, there are 21 beaches along the 45 kilometre long coastline. The only school of lifeguards in the Nordic countries is located at Tylösand, where 60 lifeguards are trained annually. Lifeguards patrol the beaches during the summer. Disability adapted bathing places are located in Tylösand and Östra stranden (the Eastern beach). Inland, you find bathing places among many of the lakes.

Humans have inhabited the ridge over the confluence of the Sava and Danube for over two millennia. The core of today’s capital city is the Belgrade Fortress and the Kalemegdan Park. They form a unique spatial entity with clearly visible remains of the Fortress divided into Upper and Lower Town, with two distinct styles. Elements of mediaeval architecture combine with dominant baroque solutions, typical for the 18th century. The Kalemegdan Park, split in two as the Great and Little Parks, developed in the area that once was the town field. The fortress and the park together represent a cultural monument of exceptional importance, the area where various sport, cultural and arts events take place.

Ross Castle is a classic 15th century, with square bartizans on diagonally opposite corners and a thick end wall containing a tier of chambers and winding stairs.
