Yesterday was my first day of exploring Belgrade, I did a great free walking tour around the city taking you to the different areas of the city. He had some great stories about the city, especially about the recent war when the city was bombed by NATO.

Belgrade has become famous for their clubs which started soon after the end of the war, but during the bombings the people worried the bridges that connect the city over Danu would be destroyed. So rather than go to bomb shelters they would go and stand on the bridges so they would not be bombed. Thousands of people would go there every night, then bands started turning up and people would bring drinks, they say they were the best parties that the city have ever had.

I could not imagine the site of thousands of people on the bridge dancing and drinking while bombs fell over the city.

I am heading back up to the fortress today to really explore it, we passed through during the walk, but it is so big I need to go back today to see it all.
