Zuce is located south-east of downtown Belgrade, next to the both railway and highway Belgrade-Niš. It generally spreads to the north (in the direction of the neighborhood of Bubanj Potok) and to the south (in the direction of Vrčin.
The area is known for several water springs, including the "Točak" (wheel) spring.

Water is currently being tested by the Geology Institute of Serbia, which initially reported that the water, though not hot, might be used for heating via heating pumps which would warm it up.
