Belgrade, Serbia, is a city steeped in history and culture. As the capital of Serbia, it’s a melting pot of influences from Roman, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires.

Josip Broz Tito was the charismatic leader/dictator of Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1980. He played a key role in the country’s liberation from Nazi occupation and its subsequent development as a non-aligned nation. Tito’s policies, while often seen as progressive, also involved significant repression of dissent and political opponents. Tito’s impacts can be seen throughout the city.
