Belgrade's route runs from the Church of Saint Sava to the Kalemegdan fortress above the meeting of the Sava and the Danube, about 5.5 km. It starts at the bonus stop, the white marble Church of Saint Sava, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, and passes the Nikola Tesla Museum, which holds the inventor's belongings and ashes. The red-and-white Church of St Mark and the domed National Assembly follow.

Skadarlija, a cobbled street of taverns and lanterns, leads to Republic Square and Knez Mihailova, the long pedestrian street of grand façades. The Cathedral of St Michael and the Stambol Gate open onto the Kalemegdan park and fortress, and the route ends at the Victor, a bronze statue on a column above the rivers' confluence. Sunset from Kalemegdan is the classic end to the day, and the floating clubs on the rivers are open late.
