Belgrade, Serbia's capital, centres on Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park, a ridge at the Sava-Danube confluence fortified in turn by Celts, Romans, Ottomans and Habsburgs, and on the Church of Saint Sava, one of the largest Orthodox church buildings in the world, built across 85 years on the site where Ottoman authorities burned Saint Sava's relics in 1595.

From Belgrade, the Novi Sad and Petrovaradin Fortress day trip covers Serbia's second city and the Habsburg-era fortress known as the "Gibraltar on the Danube," reachable in under 40 minutes on the high-speed Soko train and home each July to EXIT, one of Europe's largest music festivals.
