At the core of Belgrade lies Republic Square, the city’s most bustling location. Initially designed in the mid-1800s, it is surrounded by significant buildings such as the National Museum and the National Theatre. The square also serves as a vital transport hub, where over 20 bus lines converge, making it a popular meeting point for locals.
At the center of Republic Square stands the iconic statue of Knez Mihailo Obrenovic, a revered Serbian prince known for his pivotal role in liberating cities from Ottoman control in the mid-1800s. This monument not only signifies national pride but also functions as a focal point where citizens gather, highlighting both the historical and contemporary spirit of Belgrade.
