Belgrade Museum of Aviation
Housed behind a shimmering facade of mirrored glass in a futuristic, donut-shaped building, the Belgrade Museum of Aviation is one of the city’s most impressive museums. Inside, the vast permanent collection features dozens of aircraft, including planes, drones, and even hot-air balloons, formerly owned by the Yugoslav Air Force.
The Basics
Visitors to the Belgrade Museum of Aviation, most of whom visit independently and buy tickets at the door, can browse the indoor and outdoor exhibition areas, as well as take a turn in a Boeing 737 Simulator. Highlights include an original Yak-3, parts of a fallen F-117 Nighthawk, two Russian Kamov helicopters, and World War II planes including a Supermarine Spitfire Mk V and an Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik.
