Belgrade is an exceptionally vibrant and outspoken city. Its history dates back to the 6th millennium BC, when the Vinča Culture, one of the most important prehistoric cultures of Europe, evolved with its epicenter within Belgrade’s area.
Many cultures and tribes left their mark in its long and turbulent history: Thraco-Dacians, Celts, Romans, Byzantines, Slavs, Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians, have all shaped today’s capital of Serbia into one of the most diverse and interesting cities of South-East Europe. Even the first Buddhist temple in Europe was built in Belgrade!
A walk through the city’s center would bring quick shifts of architectural and emotional settings – from a monumental medieval fortress or a 16th century Ottoman mosque, through elegant Habsburg buildings and the Sveti Sava temple – one of the largest Eastern Orthodox Churches in the world, to the Palace of Serbia - the monumental example of the 20th century Yugoslav modernism, or shiny contemporary business buildings.
With its population of 1,23 million in the urban area, Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and the largest city in the Western Balkans. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube rivers, at the very border of the Pannonian Plain and the Balkans – the city’s favorite spot for watching stunning sunsets.
Belgrade's vibrant pace and atmosphere often appeal to foreigners, who quickly become an integral part of the city.
We invite you to make the journey through Belgrade’s unique magic the time of your life and to gain invaluable life and academic experience at the University of Belgrade.
