Explore the architecture of the Socialist-era Yugoslavia, built to showcase the power of the newly formed nation. Begin by taking in breathtaking views of Belgrade from the observation deck of the Avala Telecommunication Tower, perched on the city’s tallest mountain. Destroyed during NATO bombings in 1999, it was rebuilt from the ruins and reopened in 2010.

Next, cross the Ada Bridge, spanning the Sava River. Featured on the Discovery Channel, this impressive structure is the largest single-pylon bridge in Europe.

Continue your journey through the gates of Belgrade, starting with the Western Gate, marked by the Genex Twin Towers connected by a bridge on the 26th floor, and the Eastern Gate, with the Rudo buildings—both iconic examples of Brutalist architecture.

You’ll also visit the “Sava” Center, built in 1977. for the Conference on European Security and Cooperation. As the largest conference center in former Yugoslavia, this complex features striking polyhedral buildings that reflect the bold design principles of the era.

Stand before the Palace of Serbia, formerly the Federal Executive Council—a stunning example of late modernism, showcasing how design can embody the ruling ideology. This monumental yet elegant building was the first major project in New Belgrade after WWII.

This is the tour where architecture lovers can enjoy the architecture of brutalism and structuralism, which was mostly shaped by the ideology of the former Yugoslavia.
