Daily life
Belgrade, the capital and largest city of Serbia, rises at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkan Peninsula. Its landmarks include the Belgrade Fortress on Kalemegdan, the Church of Saint Sava (among the largest Orthodox buildings), the pedestrian Knez Mihailova street, and the old riverside quarter of Zemun. Daily life flows through terraces and cafés overlooking the two rivers.

Transport
Belgrade is usually reached via Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG), about 18 km west of the centre, with bus and minibus links into town. Long-distance coaches connect the city to the region, while the BG:Voz suburban rail ties the outer neighbourhoods together. Around town there is a broad public network of buses, trams and trolleybuses, with many lines converging near central Slavija.
