A short history
Celts, Romans (Singidunum), Byzantines, Serbian despots, Ottomans and Austrians all fought over this hill above the rivers. Most of what you see today is from the 18th century.
Tours and tickets
The park and walls are free. A combined ticket (450 RSD, 350 reduced) covers Nebojša Tower, the Clock Tower, the Roman Well, the Big Magazine and the Military Bunker. The Military Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00–17:00. Some underground sites need booking ahead.
Tip: The upper fortress around the Victor monument gets the crowds. Walk down to the Lower Town, toward the river, where it is usually much quieter.
