- Pioneers’ Park (Pionirski park), the former royal garden, is one of the central city parks. It is surrounded by several important buildings, among them, the buildings of Stari dvor (Old Palace)- today the building of the City Assembly of Belgrade, and Novi dvor (New Palace)- today the seat of the President of Serbia.
- Until the end of the Second World War, the park served as the garden of the Old Palace and was surrounded by a high fence. The new authorities removed the fence in 1944, making the garden public and naming it the Pioneers’ Park.
- There are several monuments and artistic sculptures in the park, such as the fountain “Girl with the jug” and the Kajmakčalan observation post.
- In honor of the great Yugoslav novelist and Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić, the area between the Pioneers Park and King Milan Street is called Andrićev venac.
