The 21 best beaches in and around Belgrade

It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot with calm areas for relaxing and lively beach bars full of energy. The water is soft, clean, and the perfect temperature, with lifeguards on duty for safety. It reminded me of Manhattan Beach — you can rent bikes and ride the 7km path that circles the whole area. It’s active, fun, and full of life. Once an island, now a peninsula, Ada has a rich history and is a local favorite in the summer. A perfect place to swim, chill, and enjoy Belgrade outdoors!

Congrats Belgrad for this awesome place , where you can find a peaceful place to , relax , walk , run, swim , bike , skate ...etc. I was pleasant to see this wonderful place. If you visit Belgrad , definitely you have to visit this place.

Ada Lake is a beautiful spot to swim, relax in the sun, enjoy a coffee or great food. If you like sports, you can play volleyball, basketball, football, or ride a bike or rollerblade along the lake.

Perfect for spending a beautiful day. Surrounded by the Sava river so you can swim in summer, full of open air GYM places so you can run, walk and hit the gym in nature, full circle of bicycle road, golf fields, basketball football and tennis fields, clean air.

Artificial Lake. You can swim, rent bicycles to go around the lake in the park with trees, take your drink. Excellent experience

Ada. ❤️ Perfect for an early morning/late afternoon swim or a picnic with the kids. You can ride a bike, put on your rollerblades, go for a SUP or paddle. Sip your coffee or tea, maybe treat yourself to pancakes or pizza. Take a stroll around the lake. Or do nothing at all, and simply enjoy this marvelous life.

Place to relax, near water. Great choIce of restaurants and coffee shops. Pay attention to Tropical heat, excelent food.

Nature is beautiful and such a pleasure. Free camping spot . But the water is unfortunately dirty and not very attractive to go swimming...

Shallow water, small plague. Danube brings garbage, no cleaning service.

A mess of a beach in a very scenic location. No changing rooms to be found. The waters of Danube are too murky to see anything on the bottom so injury with huge empty clams is very likely if you step on one, as it happened to me. The beach is not suited for anything but sunbathing. Not a tourist site at all.

Not very clean but its nice view, too much mosquitoes prepare protection

Too crowded, dirty. People piss and fight bear in the beach or bushes. a few meters away from people who even sunbathe and rest there. quite disgusting.

Beautiful send beach on the Great War Island in the heart of Belgrade. You can come there by boat or kayak

Perfect nature place that if you don’t know how to survive hot weather you have to go here. Fantastic and full green area. Very fresh and natural. The Danube is a fantastic clean river.

One of the most interesting things to see in Belgrade. Been there two times but I haven't had to buy tickets, not sure if there are some paid areas or I arrived after they don't charge. Great location to admire the sunset

Kalemegdan is Belgrade’s historic heart, where the mighty fortress meets peaceful parkland. Overlooking the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, it offers sweeping views, ancient walls, and layers of Serbian history. Walking through its gates feels like stepping back in time, yet it’s lively with locals, street performers, and cafés. Perfect for sunsets, photography, and quiet strolls, Kalemegdan blends culture, nature, and history into one unforgettable experience in Belgrade.

Best place in town. One of my European fav gardens combining history and scenic views. The river. All combo is just magic

One of the nicest parks I have ever seen. Beautiful panorama on multiple sides, the war museum is also worth you time! The perfect place to stretch your legs

It's nice historical places in Serbia. The big museum with the great landscape of park that you can see Belgrade city by eagle view.

I went here on the 31/8/2025 and I had a horrible experience. The park was full of homeless people screaming for no reason and staring at me, making me really uncomfortable. There were many people begging and it was such in rough shape. It was truly third world country conditions with trash, used syringes, faeces and urine everywhere. The area felt really unsafe. Such a shame

Nice park in Belgarde. You can see the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. You need to visit Fortress. But after many visits of Belgrade I would say that they need to start renovating slowly their famous Monuments.

Green Oasis in Belgrade. Big, beautiful island with lot of forest, swimming beach, kayaking, boating..

Great place to spend some quiet time in nature, away from city noise and crowd...

Absolutely astonished with nature, just 500m from city center.

Wild nature park right in the center of the city. There is a small beach on Danube river. Lovely place

The unique natural reservation almost in the heart of Belgrade.

Not worth as a tourist. Nothing to see.

Beautiful nature!

Must vist place in belgrade serbia. The Fortress is a must visit when in the city. Originally built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the fortress has seen countless empires rise and fall including Byzantine, Hungarian, Ottoman, and Austrian, each leaving its own mark. The Ottomans, who ruled Belgrade for nearly two centuries, rebuilt and expanded large parts of the fortress. You can still see traces of their presence in the design of the gates, the remains of the mosque near the Upper Town, and the general layout that reflects their military architecture. The surrounding Kalemegdan Park adds charm to the visit, offering shaded paths, sculptures, and views across the rivers. Key highlights within the fortress include the Victor Monument, and the Military Museum, which houses weapons from various periods of Serbian and Balkan. Great history, great view, great vepons

Clean. Well maintained. Free entry. Has free public toilets. Good place to explore and have a walk. The views of New Belgrade and the Danube are amazing.

The biggest Fortress that I visit until today. . . So big that you need almost a day to see everything, make pictures and relaxing. Lots of things you can do inside this fortress. You must see to believe it.

Kalemegdan is Belgrade’s crown jewel—a vast fortress and park where history and nature meet. Overlooking the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, it offers stunning panoramic views, leafy walking paths, and impressive fortifications dating back centuries. Inside, you’ll find museums, monuments, and lively cafes. It’s perfect for a sunset stroll or a peaceful escape from the city’s buzz. A must-see for anyone visiting Belgrade, blending culture, history, and scenic beauty in one spot.

It is a beautiful place. No entry ticket to most of the places. View of the rivers is beautiful. It was cloudy during our stasis we missed sunset. Chapel is worth visiting

I went here on the 31/8/2025 and I had such a bad experience. The park looked like it was from a war zone with trash, used syringes, faeces, urine and weeds everywhere. Really third world country conditions. It was full of people begging and homeless people that were screaming at the top of their lungs for no reason and the area generally felt really unsafe. I would not recommend visiting it under no circumstances. So sad

All of the grounds here have something to see and get a picture. The day was too hot to stroll for all over the park. But, again, a great experience

An excellent place for chilling during the day or in the evening after a long walk. The garden of the restaurant is beautiful and large, with perhaps too many tables around. We came towards the end of working hours, so the toilet didn't look very good, I don't know if they clean at the end of the working day or before the beginning of working hours, but the cleanliness in the facility is not at a very good level. The service is good and fast and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you don't have to go to the toilet, it's a great place to rest during the day.

Catastrophe! They go by the motto: “popular location, who cares about the food.” I ordered a Margherita pizza: first I had to wait 45 minutes for it, only for the waiter to bring me a completely cold pizza, the cheese had literally turned into stone. I pointed it out to him — he surely noticed it himself, but clearly didn’t care — and then he took the same pizza away and brought it back after 2 minutes, just reheated. Let’s be clear: the pizza tasted exactly the same, and I honestly believe these are the typical frozen store-bought pizzas that they just throw in the oven or whatever. Anyway, a huge disappointment and I don’t recommend it to anyone. Speaking as someone who lives in Belgrade myself.

The atmosphere is really nice, the music isn't loud and they even have sockets near tables which is a rarity on Ada. The service was slow, our waiter was nowhere to be found for most of the time, and we couldn't order more stuff or pay our bill without waiting for at least 10-15 minutes (the restaurant was basically empty at this time). Would recommend if you want to work from here and you have the patience to wait for the staff to serve you, it just happens that I don't.

Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs! Time Out Beograd was by far one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was low quality, overpriced, and absolutely not worth the money. It tasted like it had been reheated multiple times and lacked any freshness or flavor. The service was extremely slow, and the staff seemed disorganized and uninterested in helping. It took forever just to get our drinks, let alone the food. To make matters worse, the cleanliness of the place was shocking. The dining area was visibly dirty, and we noticed signs of pest problems – roaches and even rats. That’s completely unacceptable in any restaurant, let alone one charging premium prices. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. There are plenty of much better options in Belgrade that actually care about quality, hygiene, and service.

Super nice location, Ada is beautiful. Looks good, but service was not so perfect. Toalet was disturbing...very bad. The food is ok, nothing special. Taste is basic. Just location is so nice, so they have all the points for that. Place around is dirty...it wasn't even a busy day, so I can't imagine at weekends. I don't recommend this place for more than just coffee and cake. After walking on Ada Lake is nice to sit down a bit, but you can eat better around in some other restaurant.

Everything was bad. The crepes were just okay, however, their lemonade was terrible. We tried to order the lemonade with soda, and the server declined the request. He brought the lemonades with 1 ice cube inside. It was probably lemon juice thinned out with water. It is located in a beautiful area around the lake, with very beautiful sitting area. That does not make up for the bad experience or the pricey bill. I think there are better restaurants/cafes to sit at near there. Not recommended.

Very nice, but prices are like in a premium resort at the seaside

Wonderful place for everyone to enjoy awesome services. Swimming pools are clean and very well maintain. Sauna and steam room still brand new and big enough to have your privacy. Massage therapist very friendly and professional very talented. Lifeguards are right there to assist you and help you look after your kids and anyone else to feel safe and secure. Definitely will go back again and gladly suggest anyone to visit and have fun time with friends and family. Thank you

Nice waterpark with absolutely gorgeous views over Belgrade and the countryside from the highest waterslide. I didn’t took a picture of the view but you will see it for yourself when you are there🥰 On top of that the park has multiple pools so lots of variation and overall a nice vacation vibe.

Great place to have a great time. Price for the whole day, 1000 RSD for an adult and 700 RSD for a child. There is a jacuzzi, a children's pool and 2 pools, as well as slides with an outdoor pool in the summer.

(Like if you agree) Good place to come here with big family or just with friends. It has a small but good gym. Good pizza. Good swimming pool! Good servis. I would definetly come here again!

It is huge. Few pools and a lot of entertainment for kids and adults. Organization is poor. In some area if you want to pass to go to another pool you must walk to the end of the pool. On one side you have pool and another private terrace of the hotel. Inside water was warm ,outside not so much. Sunbeds are free everywhere. You have restaurant and coffee bar. We had coffee and it was ok. Also you have a place where you can buy donuts and pancakes. Donuts are 250din. :) Sliders are super funny but NOT SAFE AT ALL. They putted some little girl on the top,she dont even tell the people who they should behave. Some boys were using sliders with their heads first.... I don't have comment on this. Very unprofessional.

Clean, good water temperature but missing warning signs for hidden metal beds in the water. My kids jumped and got hurt because you couldn't see those. Lifeguards can pay more attention. Overall, nice place

For the price of 800din (6.5e) you get 3 pools, 1 kids pool, a jacuzzi, different type of saunas, and a slide into water free rides, hair dresser and gym can be used as an extra paid service and there is also a cafee/restaurant that serves basic drinks and meals, nothing too classy but enough to not be hungry. There is also a decent toilet available, roof top sun tanning in the summer time and locker room is fairly equiped with showers, change rooms and hair dryers. In most EU countries you must look at naked people whether you like it or not for the price of 15 to 25e which is a bit disapointing in my humble opinion considering the price you pay...

Good beach! In the weekend, it is hard to find place for car, but it is not big problem. There are good cafes, perfect bicycle road, and clean as possible ( today there, I think more than 1.500 people, but beach is still clean ). I recommend this place, but you need to know, there is no sand, only small rocks ( they can be too hot ). Anyway - good place for chilling!!

I visited during COVID so it wasn’t under normal circumstances. As a resort that is literally 15 minutes from the centre this place is amazing. You feel like you’re on holiday. From the beach to the waterfront bars and cafes you could be miles away from the city. This is a welcome haven to get away from the bustle of central Belgrade. There should be this sort of place near every city.

Great for outdoor activities, near Belgrade. A little hard to get a free parkingspace, on the roadside.

The water takes all, your troubles, away.. Great place for a long walk or bike ride, have a swim.. One of the rare places of such purpose in Belgrade, this place changes the view on your day, life..

We were in Belgrade on 2019 and it was one of my best experiences being in such a peaceful and beautiful city. And among places, this park was the best for me, because I swam in the river while the weather was great and water was awesome. I wish I could travel here again...

The "Belgrade sea" is the nickname of this artificially closed part of the Sava River flow, turned into Belgrade's summer holiday resort, with pebble beaches, restaurants and water sports facilities. Pleasant relaxation during hot summer days.

Place for lovers of peace, silence, relaxation, swimming, and hanging out with your friends in an informal atmosphere (nature included). For those who love to party at night, large number of cafes (with live music) are at your disposal throughout the year. Excellent place for sports lovers as well, as Ada has a biking lane, tennis and golf courts, water skiing, and it is a place of large number of local and international sporting events.

It is often very crowded, especially in the morning or afternoon when most people are going to or coming back from work. A poorly designed roundabout and traffic lights that often do not work. A wonderful view, especially at this time of the year. Changed, i.e. closed turn into Pop Lukina Street, which makes traffic even more difficult.

good view and you can always have a nice walk there, especially at night

Perfect place for a walk, run or bike. The view is incredible and the atmosphere it's great. You can find very nice restaurants facing the river and enjoy a drink watching a beautiful sunset.

I liked the bridge scenes, you can cycle on it, walk or simply cross it with an auto. The bridge gives you views of both sides of the old and new city centers. Very good place for a sunny day. Needs more cleaning below though.

walked from old Belgrade to New Belgrade over this bridge and the view is amazing

Beautiful view of river pavo ,two but river boats not offered a river cruises. Only one restaurant is open on the right bank of the river to have lunch or to enjoy the river view.

Branko's Bridge is a vital connection between Belgrade's city center and New Belgrade, offering impressive views of the Sava River. Whether you're walking, driving, or cycling, the bridge provides a practical and scenic route. While the structure itself is functional rather than decorative, its urban charm lies in the busy atmosphere and cityscape vistas, especially during sunset. The pedestrian walkways could use some maintenance, but the experience of crossing it—particularly with Kalemegdan in the background—is uniquely Belgrade. A must-see if you're exploring the city and want to capture its everyday rhythm and energy from a different perspective.

Košutnjak Park in Belgrade is a sprawling green oasis that offers a refreshing retreat from urban life. With its dense tree canopy, winding walking trails, and abundant picnic tables, it’s a favorite among locals seeking relaxation and recreation. Families and friends gather here to grill meals, play outdoor games, and unwind in the serene surroundings. After years away, I cherished a day here with my family, savoring the lively yet peaceful atmosphere. The air buzzed with laughter and the smoky aroma of BBQs, blending perfectly with the crisp forest scents. Children ran freely, while groups lounged under shaded spots, sharing stories and meals. Ideal for a laid-back family outing, Košutnjak balances natural beauty with communal warmth. Whether exploring its trails or claiming a picnic spot, this park is a timeless haven where memories are made over simple joys.

One of the best sports center and recreation area in the town. Fully recommended for everyone 🍀✨

Beautiful walking tracks and forest, with dome great lookout spots over the city and various cafes.

If you love nature and you also feel like walking, do not miss the opportunity and visit this big park.

This fotos is of course during the deep winter. Here is trim paths for runner and walker, tenis courts, climbing stone, and very near, shut and open swimming pools. This wood Belgrade people called "Lungs of Belgrade".

Belgrades lungh, always popular for outdoor sports, walks, birtjday and holiday parties. From one side to another there are multi places to drink coffe if you havent brought one of your own. I love the squirels! I love the horses when you see ppl riding, I am.subjective because I reallyy love this wood area...

The park forest and the Košutnjak excursion site extends over 330 hectares, at an altitude of 250 m. The forest of deciduous and coniferous trees is sprinkled with numerous trails. Probably the name Košutnjak was created because of the hives, which were once here. Until 1903, the dense forest was a closed court garden, and then Košutnjak was open to citizens. In Kosutnjak there are two specially decorated complexes: Pioneer city, sports and recreation center, and Film City with a complex of ateliers and other facilities and devices for production of films. Sport and recreation center "Košutnjak" has football, athletic, volleyball, basketball, handball, five open and one indoor swimming pools. For skiing lovers in Kosutnjak, there is a summer and winter ski trail. At the foot of the hill, where once was the hunting ground of the Obrenovic princely family, there is the source of Hajdučka fountain.

Less then 15 minutes drive from downtown area, supreme leisure resort with 5 km of perfect small pebble beach arpund it. Dozens of cafes, walking lanes, bicycle lanes, sport courts for basketball, tennis,small golf, football, golf and more. You don't like to be exposed by the sun? No problem old trees with beatiful and vast grass covered land will provide you with perfect natural protection. It is really something special and fits to all kind of needs during 365 days. There are few very nice restaurants, other venues are more of a cafe/pub/fast food types but all are fine for a coffee-snacks break and enjoying watching the lake.

Great place for relaxing and sport activities

Cool place to relax. Can be crowded with nice weather. Ideal to go by bike and go around the lake. The beach is made of pebbles (stones). So lying done is a bit hard... A firm matt or double towel is recommended.

Belgrade sea, as many of citizen call Ada lake. There is huge choices of sport activity. On summer is swimming season.

Extra

Good place,good view.

Ada Ciganlija is very popular ..beautiful place you can enjoy whole day..10 from the city center by bus.

There's a bus station there that's why it's a landmark.

(Translated by Google) The Fountain of Youth was the monumental entrance to the House of Flowers (see my other review for lots of curiosities and put reactions) that is, the house built in 1975 as a residence for Marshal Tito, today the site of his Mausoleum and part of the largest museum complex in Yugoslavia. On his birthday, all the young people from every part of Yugoslavia paid homage to the Marshal with gifts, arriving here in a sort of relay from all corners of the country. Under the entrance steps there are bus stops and taxi lanes; unfortunately the monument is very degraded and the jets are NOT working. Finally, dogs run free in this area... Unsightly 🤔 (Original) La Fontana della Gioventù era l'ingresso monumentale alla Casa dei Fiori (guarda l'altra mia recensione per molte curiosità e metti reaction) ossia la casa costruita nel 1975 come residenza per il Maresciallo Tito, oggi sito del suo Mausoleo e facente parte del più grande complesso museale della Jugoslavia. Nella data del suo compleanno tutti i giovani da ogni parte della Jugoslavia omaggiavano il Maresciallo di regali, arrivando qui in una sorta di staffetta da titti gli angoli del Paese. Sotto la scalea di ingresso ci sono le fermate del bus e le corsie di sosta per chiamare i taxi; purtroppo il monumento è molto degradato e i getti NON funzionanti. I cani infine scorazzano liberi in questa zona... Disdicevole 🤔
