You'll have a close up on 5 exemplary buildings of Yugoslav socialist architecture. Find out why this architecture recently created a hype at exhibition at MoMA in New York and world-wide. Hear about it from the art historian guide who has not just studied it, but actually lived in it. You’ll discover the buildings for the socialist elites, buildings for socialist business, buildings to impress the non aligned comrades and social housing blocks for the classless society. You'll see how and why the architecture changed from the Soviet-like to modernism to brutalism. In 2 hours you'll understand 50 years of Yugoslavian utopia.
  • Professional Guide
Departure Point

Ušće 10, Beograd, Serbia In front of the stairs leading to the main entrance.

  • Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, Serbia
    You'll meet the guide in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art at Ušće. You'll explore its modernist 1960-ies volumes and find out why its precious marble facades contradict the stereotypical expectations from socialist architecture.
    20 minutes
  • Palata Srbije, Belgrade, Serbia
    Next, we'll drive by the huge Government Building, a telling monument of an earlier phase of YU politics, a building that experienced the switch away from Stalin while under construction.
  • Hotel Jugoslavija, Bulevar Nikole Tesle, Beograd, Serbia
    Your next stop is Hotel Yugoslavia, once the most luxurious Belgrade hotel, built to host the dignitaries and celebrities President Tito was receiving in Belgrade. You'll get inside to discover traces of its lost splendor - a gigantic crystal chandelier that is one of the world's biggest, and vast vistas of the Danube river.
    15 minutes
  • Zapadna Kapija Beograda, Narodnih heroja, Beograd, Serbia
    You’ll have a close up of Genex Tower, aka Western City Gate of Belgrade, a 30 floor structure that has won instagrams and hearts of many Belgrade visitors. Built 40 years ago, it was the first smart building in the Balkans and entered the international architecture reviews as a fine example of brutalism.
    20 minutes
  • Milentija Popovića 72, Beograd 11000, Serbia
    Inside the Block no. 23, the most representative public housing project, again in style of concrete expressionism, you'll discover the concept that provided everything for the inhabitants. The apartment buildings, school, the kindergarten, the sport courts, the mini shopping mall. You’ll hear the guide's personal stories of life in the blocks in their golden decades of 60s, 70s and 80s. And the stories of living not so great in 90s.
    15 minutes
  • Sava Center, Belgrade, Serbia
    Your final stop is a gigantic congress center, built at the end of 1970s in record times. It was the first building of that sort in this part of Europe. It’s still in function and includes some surprisingly well designed interior solutions that seem fresh even after 40 years.

Great experience, ten on ten. wouldn't have asked for any better. The guide was spot on time and extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. What I enjoyed is how she flavoured the experience with sharing knowledge about the humanity of the everyday life that goes inside these buildings and life in the city general. I definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to get a taste of the real essence of Belgrade.

Interesting tour of socialist architecture in Belgrade. Our guide was knowledgeable, had interesting facts and was very flexible in accomodating our needs. The guide even negotiated our entrance into an abandoned and supposedly closed office building.

I booked a 1 hour walking tour of Belgrade with Xenia to see the architectural highlights. I cannot recommend this tour enough, Xenia was incredibly well informed and very professional. If you are planning to visit Belgrade and are interested in architecture, history, culture, food etc then Xenia can arrange informative walking tours on for a reasonable price.
