In the very center of the city, the historical garden of Alexander I is found. It got its name in honor of the King of Yugoslavia. You can go anywhere here among the branchy cypresses and sycamore trees. The old royal park is nearly 200 years old. The garden became accessible to the public in 1852. Today, one of the cypresses 33 meters high is considered to be its main attraction. There're an artificial fish pond, playgrounds for children, recreation areas, and an attractive cafe on the territory of the garden.
Anyone interested in history should visit the National Naval Museum. The palace that houses the museum has a great historical value. It was built in the 18th century and is one of the few buildings in the city that managed to survive during the Second World War. The museum was opened in the palace in 1814. Among its exhibits are old military maps and documents, artifacts related to important events in the history of the city. The museum has a great collection of models of old ships, some of them are of impressive size.
