Plan your first visit

  1. Money Serbia uses the dinar (RSD); cards are widely accepted, but keep some cash for kiosks and markets.
  2. Getting around City buses, trams and trolleybuses have been free for everyone since 2025.
  3. Visas & entry Many nationalities enter visa-free for up to 90 days — confirm your own case before you fly.
  4. Is it safe? Belgrade is generally safe; the real risks are pickpockets in crowds and taxi overcharging.
  5. When to go April–June and September–October are the sweet spot; July–August is hot and lively.
  6. How many days? Three days covers the city comfortably; two works if you keep to the centre. Add days for Expo or day trips.
