Day 123: Belgrade Fortress and a Taste of New Belgrade

To start the day I went back to the previous night's cafe before walking to the northern tip of Belgrade Fortress.


There's a number of informative signs scattered across the park that you pass as you go south, climbing the stairs and passing some chapels on the way to the fortress. Being Friday, the area was flooded with schoolchildren on field trips, but the area is so expansive it didn't feel excessively busy.


From the top of the fortress you can see the Danube wrap around Great War Island, and the very edge of the Danube/Sava confluence.



Hi
The day was warm and sunny, so I decided to cross Branko's Bridge into New Belgrade. I only saw the easternmost area, north of the bridge, but there wasn't much to see other than a large grassy area belonging to a park, a monument, and a shopping center.


I rested my feet at a cafe in the shopping center before making the trek back to the hostel for the night.
