Highlight was optional tour: BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE SERBIAN OPERA
Oct 2019
Wow! If you take this trip, and you are a fan of history, opera, theatre, etc. you MUST do this a la carte tour options. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Along with tips for tour director and bus driver, please be sure to bring a few $$ for the soloists (we were treated to 2) that close the tour as you sip a glass of champagne! So marvelous!!

Where two rivers meet - Danube and Sava
Dec 2019 • Couples
You can view the Danube and Sava from the Kalemegdan fortress where the park is. There is a viewing station at the top of the park where you are able see these two rivers meet. You are able to capture some lovely photos from here and viewing the sunset is gorgeous.

Main river in Belgrade
Nov 2019 • Friends
Danube is one of the most important rivers in Europe and it flows through Belgrade, the main city in Serbia. It is very big and there are some bridges, which cross it. In fact, I am sure if you visit the city, you will cross one of them. For me, the beat views of the Danube are from the upper part in the old city: from Kalemegdan Fortress. From here you can the river and the place, where Sava River. join to Danube River. Really very nice views in the city.

Uniworld cruises cancelled our trip and is saying at least 4 months until we receive a refund!!
Jul 2021
We signed up as a group of 6 to take the Danube cruise on Uniworld starting July 30, 2021. Although we paid in full months ago, imagine our surprise when Uniworld called on June 12 to say the cruise was cancelled with no reason given and any refund would be at least 4 months!!! We booked through Costco and they daid they couldn't help. Uniworld is running a Danube cruise at the same time on a different ship that is twice as expensive and asked if we wanted to be rebooked on that and pay the significant upcharge! Bait and switch??? It's been more than a month since their call and we've had no correspondence from them at all!! This makes us wonder if they are having financial problems and we may never receive a refund but haven't been able to get any information. Buyer beware.

Splendid river
Aug 2022
This world-famous river flows through/around the city and is one of its main attractions. The city is actually built at the intersection of where the Sava river and the Danube meet and this can clearly be viewed from an advantage point in the Kalemegdan fortress. We were on a Viking river cruise and our longship moored up at the entrance to the Sava river right in the middle of the waterfront.

Great Danube
Sep 2022
This time we were at Belgrade just for overnight and had some rush to see most of it. However, when we arrive to Kalemegdan Fortress, that’s it. Danube, which is one the most important rivers in Europe was hugging the Sava River. Reminded me Mosel and Rhine at Deutsche Eck.

As the fortress on the upper part of the city, views was amazing.

Nice river
Oct 2020 • Friends
This long long European river crosses Belgrade too.
We took a night sail under the bridges to see them lighten at night.
Very nice although the weather was cold and partly raining.

Boat cruise
Jan 2021 • Friends
One of the alternative way to experience Belgrade is to go on boat cruise on Danube and Sava rivers. Not so big crowd and for sure experience to remember. Nice combination of nature and urban landscapes.

The river flows here
Oct 2019
The Danube - flowing by / through Belgrade it is an important transportation route and a tourists attraction at the same time.
The river can be experienced from the shore or from the deck of a boat - in terms of cruises the options are several ... so you just need to pick the one you like.
Walking is also an option ... you can walk "down" from Kalemegdan and continue on the river shore .. if you feel like you can stop at a restaurant or bar to grab a bite or a beer.
If you are interested in angling , well for sure that is also an option but prepare yourself and get the paperwork to do it legally.
What I recommend when choosing a cruise be sure you pick a boat with an open deck - missed that aspect when I've picked the boat ... so the pics I took are not that spectacular ...
