🏰

Belgrade Fortress

The historic Kalemegdan park and fortress visible just before touchdown at Nikola Tesla Airport.

The right side is essential for sunset flights to catch the golden light reflecting off the Danube. During the descent into Belgrade, this side typically offers the best view of the city center if the wind dictates a northern approach.
