• No outside food or drink is allowed, so plan on the cafés and ice cream stands inside the grounds
• At least two hours is the zoo's own advice if you have other plans the same day
• Open all year, and the penguins do best in the cold, so a winter visit works

Belgrade Zoo fills about 7 hectares inside Kalemegdan Fortress park and keeps around 200 species. Kids look for the white lions and white tigers, watch the penguins in their 2019 enclosure, and find Muja, an American alligator that has lived here since 1937.

A petting zoo has alpacas, rabbits and pygmy goats, and two cafés and ice cream stands sit inside the grounds.
