Huge collection of materials about the Serbian nation from ancient times to the present. In the coming years it's intended to move to new premises on the site of the former railway station.
The Serbian Historical Museum, known until 2026 as the Historical Museum of Serbia, is a public institution dedicated to documentation of the history of Serbia from prehistory up to the present. The museum was established in 1963 and today preserves more than 50,000 objects organised in 25 collections and 6 funds. Over the years the museum was located at different locations around the capital city of Belgrade. Its main exhibition space is at Trg Nikole Pašića 11, and the museum also manages the Residence of Prince Miloš in Topčider and the Serbian House on the Greek island of Corfu. In 2020, as a part of the Belgrade Waterfront development project, the museum was granted the historical building of the Belgrade Main railway station as its new permanent base. The museum is one of the leading institutions of its kind in the city and the country.

Narodna Skupština / Народна Скупштина
Grand neo-baroque legislative palace, built 1907-36.
Family-friendly place with all the fairground usuals: distorting mirrors, Ames Room, and so on.
Стари Двор
This was the residence of the Obrenović and Karađorđević princely dynasties from 1884 until 1922. It now houses Belgrade City Assembly, no visits except on business.
Crkva Sv Marka / Црква Св Марка
Large Serbian Orthodox church built 1931-40 in Serbo-Byzantine style. Within are the tombs of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (1308-55), and of King Aleksandar I Obrenović (1876-1903) and his Queen Draga Mašin.
The south side of the National Museum is the city's main plaza. The equestrian statue is of Prince Mihailo Obrenović (1823-1868), who negotiated the withdrawal of Ottoman troops from Belgrade. The city Cultural Centre also fronts onto the square. In spite of the imposing buildings, it's a drab concrete expanse thronged with traffic along Francuska.
Народни Музеј
Founded in 1844, it has more than 400,000 items on 3 floors. It's organised into Paleolithic, Ancient History, Middle Ages and Modern.
