New Belgrade and socialist architecture

A key part of the Communist tour focuses on New Belgrade. After 1945, Belgrade grew across the Sava River. This new part of the city became a symbol of socialist planning.

Wide streets, large blocks and public buildings show the goals of the post-war period. Also, they help visitors see why New Belgrade feels so different from the old center.
