“Poor service”
Sep 2023
They don’t accept credit cards , there is no one that can you explain you the history of the tower in English. There is no air conditioning, you can’t buy and soft drink, toilets are extremely dirty.

“Nice tower, grab a photo but not a must do for the inside of it.”
Feb 2023
This is down by the Danube (on the bottom area of the park / fortress) and just up from the confluence of the Sava / Danube river. You can see this from the Belgrade fortress proper and can walk down the hill from the entrances under the fortress to it. The tower is entered by a little forecourt and the cost is pretty minimal. There isn't really much to see in it and you cant see out the windows to get a decent view. Its a beautiful piece of architecture but not really a must see inside. Still worth a photo though.

A nice tower in the lower part of the Fortress
Nov 2019 • Solo
Nebojsa Tower is an hexagonal tower located in the lower part of Kalemegdan Fortress, near the river, in Belgrade, the main city in Serbia. In the Ottomans period it was used as a jail, and nowadays it is a little museum. However when I visited it (in November-2019), it was closed all day and I did not know why, because there was open hours defined. Back luck. Next time.

Good museum next to the river
May 2013 • Friends
Nebojsa Tower is placed next to the river which you can see also when you are on the top of Belgrade Fortress. After reconstruction they made one very modern Serbo-Greek museum inside of the tower which can give you all informations about Ottoman occupation of Serbia and Orthodox resisting movements from different Balkan nations in this period. This tower in the past was used by Ottomans like a prison for troublemakers and organizers of different uprisings (Greeks, Serbs and other Christians) and it is famous because on that place was killed Greek national hero Rigas Feraios. Lot of tourists even do not know that inside is museum (enter is around 3€) and they have my recommendation to visit this place and take a nice walk by the river. From Belgrade Fortress you need only 15 minutes by walk to this spot !

Great historical significance
Nov 2011
Nebojsa Tower is located by the river and it is the only remaining part of the lower city medieval fortification. During its long history it served as a cannon tower defending Belgrade from Ottoman attacks and as a prison and torture chamber when the city fell to the Turks. It has been carefully restored due mostly to a generous contribution from Greece, as this is the place where Rigas Feraios, an iconic revolutionary figure for Greeks, was imprisoned, tortured and strangled.

The tower hosts an exhibition in four levels: the lowermost level is an impressive installation simulating a dungeon in a very clever way. The second floor is dedicated the the lofe and work of Rigas Feraios, while the third to the history of Belgrade and the last to the early 20th century city.

Admission is RSD 300 and all signs are in Serbian, Greek and English.

Small but nice and very modern. Must see for Greeks.
Jun 2013 • Business
The old Nebojsa Tower has been recently adapted into museum. It is small but very modern and nice. It gives basic information about the fortress and specially about 19th century Greek national hero Rigas of Fere.

Cool tower
Recently renovated, this tower could become cool place to hang out, see some art or just a part of larger future development. Right now it is secluded spot on the banks of the river, and you would rarely go there if you are not runner or hiker.

This is a high-tech trip trhough the fall of the Ottoman rulership of Belgrade and raise of Serbian civic society and emergence of nowadays Belgrade.

Neboysha tower is a perfect ending of Kalemegdan stroll.
The tower is just straight ahead when you go downstairs by Sveta Petka church.

Un-bitable Tower (translation of Serbian name of this tower)
This medieval tower is situated on mouth of river Sava in river Danube, the largest European river. Once upon a time its purpose was to protect town and trade on the river and River Port in the foot on nearby fortification of city Belgrade. Later during Ottoman Turks occupation of Belgrade it was used as dungeon for opponents of Turkish rule. Now it is very modern and multimedia museum which has 3 floor exhibitions. One floor is dedicated to great Greek poet RIGAS FERAIOS who was all his life fighting for freedom of Greeks and all other people on the Balkan Peninsula. He was imprisoned and tortured by Turks there and there he died together with Serbian fighters for freedom against Turkish occupation. It is symbol of Greek-Serbian friendship. Its renovation was financed by Greek state.

Was Lost, but Found Other Attractions!
May 2019 • Solo
Looking for short cut to reach the Belgrade Fortress, I got lost.I walked around construction sites, banks of the Sava River and Danube River before seeing this Tower.

Nobody was in sight so I presumed it was closed. Took several pictures of the Tower, crossed the street, and began my walk towards the Belgrade Fortress.

I saw the Kitchen, small Orthodox Church, another building with statues of 2 soldiers before finally entering the Fortress. Very few tourists here!

Glad that I got lost, otherwise I would not see the Tower and these other attractions that are located far from the other attractions of the Park and the Fortress.
