You step out from a narrow street into Republic Square and the city breathes around you: trams click, vendors call, and the Prince Mihailo Monument watches over a crossroads of eras. Over the next two hours you’ll weave from the busy piazza into the high, grassy ramparts of Kalemegdan Fortress, where the Danube and Sava rivers meet and tug at the city’s story like two hands shaping clay.
