The city has a mix of old and new infrastructure - wide socialist-era boulevards are good for strollers, while older areas can be steep with uneven pavements. Serbian culture is extremely warm and family-oriented; locals will go out of their way to help. Kalemegdan Fortress area and river parks are the best family zones.
