Itinerary

Jewish Belgrade – a tour through memory, culture, and resistance

Discover the hidden world of Jewish Belgrade – a walk through memory, history, and the lasting contribution of one of the most significant communities in the city's development.

On this thematic tour, we will guide you through the key points of Jewish heritage in Belgrade: from the only active synagogue Sukkat Shalom to the emotional Stolperstein for Hilda Dajč, the exceptional bookstore Gece Kona, the remnants of the El Kal Viježo synagogue, and the former homes of families that shaped the culture, economy, and spirit of Belgrade.

We pass through Jewish Street – the heart of the former Jewish quarter – where synagogues, humanitarian societies, and cultural centers once stood. We learn about the story of the vanished synagogue Bet Izrael – a witness to the long Sephardic presence in the city.The tour is enriched with stories about personalities such as Hilda Dajč, Gece Kon, the Buli family, and many others.This walk is not just a lesson in history – it is a call for understanding, empathy, and remembrance. For all those who wish to get to know Belgrade in a deeper and different way.
