Old Town Museums and Cathedral

Why go

This is a good choice when you want substantial indoor visits and only short walks between them. The National Museum of Serbia opens the day with a broad view of Serbian art and history. The smaller Museum of Vuk and Dositej narrows the focus to language and education, giving the second stop a different scale. Finish at St Michael's Cathedral, where the building and its setting connect the museum day back to the old city. Allow the most time for the National Museum of Serbia and keep the cathedral visit flexible around worship and current access. Check each institution's visitor information before setting out.
