Zemun is a peculiar part of Belgrade. In fact, it was a separate city, which became a part of Belgrade in 1934. And before 1918, it was not even part of Serbia! Rather, it was part of Austro-Hungary. Due to that fact, even the architecture of Zemun is different than the rest of the Belgrade. You can learn more about Zemun on our Zemun Tour. Gardoš tower gives you the best view of Zemun, rivers, and Belgrade. Come to see it yourself and you will never forget it!
