Find all <\/em>other blog posts in<em> the &#8220;Essential&#8221; category <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/category\/essentials\/\"><em>HERE<\/em><\/a><em>. \ufeff<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are already dozens of &#8220;professional&#8221; sightseeing tours by bus going through Belgrade, as there are in every other capital in Europe. I&#8217;m not sure about the quality of those or where do they exactly go (but I might check it out for an article). On the other hand, I have a tip for an extremely cheap way to do Belgrade sightseeing &#8211; it&#8217;s with tram line number 2 that costs the standard transport ticket (89 RSD or 0,7 EUR) for 90 minutes ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Number 2 circle&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When locals talk about the city center, and want to emphasise that something is really, really in the city center, they will say that it&#8217;s &#8220;u krugu dvojke&#8221; (or &#8220;in the circle of number 2&#8221; &#8211; number 2 being the number of the tram line).  It looks something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"608\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/belgrade.tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1967\"\/><figcaption>(c) GSP<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the only circle line in Belgrade that goes, well, in a circle through the city center itself. It naturally goes both ways and gives you the opportunity to check the city really cheap &#8211; if you don&#8217;t want to explore it even cheaper, for free, on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The line goes through or near many important landmarks, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Belgrade Zoo<\/li><li>Kalemegdan fortress and park<\/li><li>Knez Mihajlova pedestrian zone<\/li><li>Skadarlija bohemian quarter<\/li><li>Vukov spomenik<\/li><li>Slavia Square<\/li><li>Nikola Tesla museum<\/li><li>Savamala<\/li><li>Sava riverside<\/li><li>etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you decide to buy <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"a daily ticket (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/2019\/01\/26\/public-transport\/\" target=\"_blank\">a daily ticket<\/a> for the tram, for as low as 2,5 EUR, you can even consider &#8220;2&#8221; as a hop on &#8211; hop off service through the city. It won&#8217;t get any cheaper than that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"332\" src=\"http:\/\/belgrade.tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bg-bez-tramvaji.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1968\"\/><figcaption>(C) Novosti<br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Find one of those bad boys at the nearest station and enjoy the cheapest sightseeing of Belgrade!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting tip for almost completely free sightseeing in Belgrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,179,147,145],"tags":[152,186,193,198,197,195,196],"class_list":["post-1965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-essentials","category-getting-around","category-secrets","category-transport","tag-belgrade","tag-belgrade-tips","tag-city-seeing","tag-line-2","tag-public-transport","tag-sightseeing","tag-tram"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1965"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1965\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2146,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1965\/revisions\/2146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belgrade.tips\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
