Visiting the Kalemegdan Park and Fortress was high on our list of things we wanted to do in Belgrade. Even better - there was a festival going on that afternoon - with booths from regions all over Serbia. We got to learn more about crafts and customs - and to sample delicious treats - and to enjoy performances by dancers and musicians. It was a lovely afternoon with blue skies, sunshine, a gentle breeze - in a historic setting with a kid-friendly atmosphere.
This fortress - located atop a cliff-like ridge overlooking the confluence of the Rivers Sava and the Danube - dates back thousands of years - since before Roman times. (Justinian I re-built the fortress in 535 AD)
