The boat eases away from the quay as evening paints the sky over Belgrade, the Sava and the Danube running side by side like two different currents of the same story. From the deck, the city’s layered skyline — fortress walls, modern bridges, and Zemun’s Gardos tower — moves past in a steady, slow reel while the guide points out fortifications and islands that shaped this crossroads of empires.
