Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car from Timok, you will start on the E75 highway towards Belgrade. After approximately 3 hours of driving, follow the signs for 'Centar' to exit the highway and continue straight. As you approach the city center, look for signs leading to Stari Grad. You can park at one of the public parking lots nearby, like the one at Kalemegdan Park, which is adjacent to Belgrade Fortress. Please note that parking may require a fee, depending on the duration of your stay.

Public Transportation

To reach Belgrade Fortress using public transportation from Timok, first take a bus or train to Belgrade. Buses leave frequently from major towns in Timok, such as Zajecar or Knjazevac, with tickets costing around 500-800 RSD (approximately $5-8 USD). Upon arriving at the main bus station in Belgrade, you can take tram number 2 or 11, which will take you to the 'Kalemegdan' stop. From there, it’s a short walk to the fortress entrance. Make sure to check the tram schedule as they usually run every 10-15 minutes.
