Avala Tower

The Avala Tower, which had been constructed in 1965 and had been damaged in 1999 by NATO bombing of Serbia, was reconstructed in 2010, making it the tallest telecom tower in the Balkans. The region was proud of the first tower, which included an observation deck. The rebuilding of the tower was funded by public donations. In the outskirts of Belgrade, on Avala Mountain, is where you may find it. It is Serbia's seventh tallest building at 206 meters (675 feet), and from the observation deck, you can view for kilometers in every direction.

Avala, a nearby mountain that is technically not a part of Belgrade, looks down over the city like some kind of enraged big brother, but in a more fraternal sense than an Orwellian one. The Avala tower, which is the tallest in the Balkans, is possibly Avala's top tourist destination. It is closely contested by the Monument to the Unknown Hero, but the tower prevails in the end.

137,000 people visited the tower in 2016, 155,000 in 2017, and 185,000 in 2018. The tourism center at the tower's base opened in June 2017. It has a café, an ethno-gallery, a gift store, sports fields, and an outdoor gym, among other amenities. Tennis players Novak Djokovic and Ana Ivanovic were among the 105 individuals whose cement prints were on display as of August 2017. A new elevator for people with disabilities and families with young children has also been built.
