Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade

Thought I would do a post for a single attraction, but it is a big one. The Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade is amazing. I am a castle and fort person and this one was great. It is huge, on an amazing setting, old and you can explore all over it. On size, plan on taking hours to see this, walking lots and climbing lots of steps. On setting, it is on a ridge about 350 ft. high overlooking the Danube and Sava’s rivers. Old, it was settled around 300 BC, some of the current remains date to the first century AD. On exploring, they let you climb along the top of the walls, climb the turrets, climb on of the towers (which was unfortunately closed), etc. Spent a couple of hours there, could have probably spent a whole day.

I have included a site I found with additional information and lots of pictures. http://www.belgradeeye.com/kalemegdan.html
