Veliki Trg (Big Square) and Market, Belgrade

The oldest Zemun square. The arrangement was started in 1784 with the demolition of the Catholic Church and the construction of the City School, the Parish Office, and the Church of the Blessed Children of Mary. It fits perfectly into Masarikov Square, Gardos, and the Millennium Tower. Today, it is one of the favorite zones in the center of Zemun. Big events and a varied cultural and artistic program for all generations take place here.

At the square, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the arts and culture through the many outdoor film festivals, music and art performances, church gatherings, and school plays that take place on the site. Surrounding restaurants and outdoor cafes spill onto the square throughout the day and night, making it a popular gathering place for grocers, residents, and artists of all ages and backgrounds. The restored Zemun market has become a catalyst for the revival of the region, and it is quickly becoming a popular tourist attraction.

The outdoor market in Zemun is the best place to shop for fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish, as well as antiques and some odd objects. Up until 1935, it was a cereal market. Nowadays, there are several rows of the best local produce sold at very affordable prices. The market also works as a flea market, where tourists and collectors may find some truly rare items, mostly from the 20th century.
