When to visit

The best time to visit Belgrade is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be hot and crowded, while winters can be cold and snowy. The city comes alive with festivals and events during the warmer months, offering a lively atmosphere for visitors.

Getting around

Belgrade has a well-connected public transportation system, including buses, trams, and trolleybuses, making it easy to navigate the city. Taxis are also readily available, but it's important to use licensed taxi services to avoid scams. Walking and cycling are great ways to explore the city center, which is relatively compact and pedestrian-friendly.

Traveller tips

When visiting Belgrade, be sure to try the local specialties such as cevapi (grilled minced meat), burek (flaky pastry filled with meat or cheese), and rakija (fruit brandy). Explore the city's vibrant nightlife by visiting the floating river clubs along the Sava river. Don't forget to visit Kalemegdan Fortress for panoramic views of the city and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the bohemian quarter of Skadarlija. Be prepared for some language barriers as English may not be widely spoken outside of tourist areas.
