Zemun and Gardoš Tower
Beograd · Zemun
Until 1918 Zemun was an Austro-Hungarian town on the border with Serbia, and it still feels like a separate little town: low houses, cobbled streets, a market and churches. Climb the lanes to Gardoš Tower, built in 1896 for Hungary's millennium, for views over the Danube, then walk down to the quay with its floating fish restaurants.
