Hi Felicia,

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

 

But just in case you're also looking for info on Belgrade in general I'll pass on this link to a Wall St. Journal article on things to do in Belgrade. I've been having a hard time finding a lot of info about Belgrade - maybe you have too.

I hope it's okay to put that link in :confused:

Hi Felicia -

 

You dock within walking distance of the Fortress and the pedestrian mall/shopping are.

 

There are quite a few stairs in the area - so if stairs are an issue, plan your route (some areas have less stairs, although they are also less direct....).

Sparky, thank you for the link. I'll read about it in a few. We aren't there that long, and I think I've found 2 things of interest, after the Viking excursion. One is the village called Skadarska, which appears to be a quaint, old village, with lots of outdoor cafes and not very touristy. The other is a walking communist tour. It goes around the city and (walking) the guide relays a lot of the history before and during communism. Here's the link if you're interested.

Fran, it's like you know me so well! I never had a problem with my knees until I went to Japan where everything was UPHILL, then DOWNHILL, and ever since then, my knees don't like stairs! I can do them, but am not a fan and certainly don't want to overdo.

 

Thanks for letting me have an idea of the vicinity of where the ship was. I want to plan out what I'll be doing, how to get there, etc as I like to walk if I can and avoid taxis. (Have read horror stories about tourists and taxis.)

Hi Felicia - thanks for that link - that looks like an interesting tour. It sounds like we will have one afternoon/evening free in Belgrade so that tour night work well.

Hi,

Just got off the Viking Elba. In Belgrade, Viking provided hourly shuttles to the center and back. We got off the tour bus at the end of the included tour, had lunch in town, and walked back to the ship. The stairs mentioned are not too bad if you are walking down, but with bad knees the would be tough to navigate either way. Belgrade is a great city to explore.:)

I'd love to hear more about your trip. Are you going to post a trip report?

What was your itinerary?
