Travel Director

Learn about the history of Belgrade

Our Serbia trips take you through the scenic Bosnian mountains into Belgrade, the ‘White City’, known for its complex and fascinating history. When you explore the city with your Serbia travel guide, you’ll get a unique insider’s look at this diverse history, ranging from the Celtic and Roman periods to the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian era.

Visit the Kalemegdan Fortress

This striking symbol of Belgrade sits on a ridge overlooking two great rivers, and it’s one of the most incredible places to visit in Serbia. With some 115 battles fought here and over 40 reconstructions over the past 16 centuries, you'll discover how the empires rebuilt the fortress so many times, and admire the lovely views from this impressive citadel.

Visit the House of Flowers

We’ll take you to see the final resting place of former Yugoslavian President, Josip Broz Tito, named after the many flowers that covered the tomb until it was closed to the public. Today, it's a peaceful place with lovely views of the city, and your Local Specialist will reveal some interesting stories of Tito and Serbia’s history on your Belgrade trip.

Admire the views from the Avala Tower

Of all the great Serbia attractions, you can’t miss Mount Avala. Surrounded by beautiful parklands, it’s also home to a 671-foot tall telecommunication tower, the tallest in the Balkans. Rebuilt in 2006 after the 1999 NATO bombing, you can learn the history of the tower, admire the incredible architectural details, and take in the stunning views.

Dine at top tennis player Novak Djokovic's restaurant

Want to dive into the Serbian cuisine in one of the best places in Serbia? We’ll take you to dinner at the restaurant of champion tennis player Novak Djokovic. As the first Serbian player to rank number 1, Djokovic and his restaurant are national icons. You'll see the cabinets filled with trophies and if you’re lucky, you might even be served by Novak’s proud mum.

Our top 5 things to do in Serbia

We’ll show you all the best things to do in Serbia including the top Belgrade attractions, from the great Kalemegdan Fortress to the tranquil House of Flowers.

Museum of Nikola Tesla

Famed as ‘the man who invented the twentieth century’, you’ll dive into the world of Nikola Tesla with a Local Specialist at this excellent museum and final resting place of Tesla. Best known for his breakthroughs in electric power, you’ll discover Tesla’s genius inventions, and hear the insider stories and legends of the man behind them.

Serbian National Museum

You can’t miss the Serbian National Museum, the oldest and largest of Belgrade’s museums. First established in 1844, it’s now home to more than 400,000 objects, from artworks to archaeological treasures. Discover medieval artifacts, Yugoslav artworks, and an Italian art collection featuring masterpieces by the likes of Raphael and Titian.

Museum of Yugoslavia

If you’re interested in the history of Yugoslavia, the former country that included today’s Serbia, you’ve got to visit this Belgrade museum. You’ll learn all about the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Socialist Yugoslavia, and you can visit the House of Flowers, the resting place of Josip Broz Tito, in the museum complex.

Best museums in Serbia

Our Serbia holidays take you to the best museums in the country where you’ll discover Serbia’s fascinating history, culture and famous national icons.

Gibanica is Serbia’s mouthwatering take on the Balkan’s favorite pastry dish. It’s similar to a rich layered strudel cake, made with filo pastry and usually stuffed with cottage cheese and eggs. You can also find them filled with spinach, meat or potatoes, and they can be sweet or savory. Whether you eat it as a snack or a festive treat, gibanica is irresistible.

Pljeskavica

This dish may be popular all over the Balkans, but it's the beloved national dish of Serbia. It’s a traditional grilled hamburger and the spiced meat patty is made with a mixture of beef, pork and lamb. Served with onions, tomatoes, avjar (red bell pepper and eggplant relish) or lepinje (pita bread), pljeskavica is the ultimate Serbian comfort food.

Another Balkan favorite, Kajmak is a salty cheese, similar to clotted cream, made from unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk from cows, sheep or goats. In Serbia, you spread it over bread as a tasty appetizer, melt it onto your hamburger patty, or try the fermented version in gibanica pastries. However you eat it, you’re sure to fall in love with kajmak.

Best food in Serbia

Wondering what to eat in Serbia? We’ll show you the best of real Serbian cuisine, from delicious pastries to grilled meats and fresh cheese.

What to pack for Serbia

People packing for a tour

Serbian phrasebook

Serbian is the official language, so bring along a phrasebook and try using a few common words and phrases. It’s all part of an enriching Serbia travel experience.

Comfortable shoes

You’ll find endless laneways, hillsides and towers that just have to be climbed on your Serbia holidays, so bring a reliable pair of walking shoes.

Rain jacket

There’s always a chance of rain in Serbia, especially if you’re heading on a Belgrade tour in spring. Bring a light rain jacket or a travel umbrella and stay cozy and dry.

Insect repellent

Don’t forget your insect repellent when you travel Serbia. Whether you bring a spray or a cream, make sure it’s a good quality repellent to protect yourself from mosquitoes.

Use it to protect yourself from the sun or the cold, or wrap it around your shoulders when entering churches and monasteries - a scarf always comes in handy on a Serbia trip.

Sofia Adventures

Serbia Travel Advice: 21 Things to Know Before Visiting Serbia

Serbia Travel Advice: 21 Things to Know Before Visiting Serbia

Since Belgrade is a pretty easy bus ride from Sofia , we are lucky to get to spend a fair amount of time exploring Serbia. We recently added it up, and between the two of us, we’ve spent about two months traveling, backpacking, and road tripping around the country.

While Serbia is a “typical Balkan country” in a lot of ways and you should check out our general Balkan tips before you go, there are also some unique aspects to traveling here that you should be aware of to make your trip go as smoothly and safely as possible. So here are twenty-one Serbia travel tips we think you should know before you visit Serbia.

Wifi & Internet

Serbia - Belgrade - Laptop

In general, Serbia has pretty excellent Wi-Fi. Between the two of us, we’ve used the Wi-FI in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Novi Pazar, Nis, and Zajecar and in all instances, the Wi-Fi has been pretty fast and reliable. Most cafés will have Wi-Fi and you can occasionally find free Wi-Fi in hot spots in the park.

Serbian Sim Cards

Serbia - Subotica - Telenor SIM Card

We recommend buying a SIM card if you have an unlocked phone as it will make your life much easier. We wrote a guide to purchasing a SIM card in Serbia if you want a detailed account. We paid 300 dinars (roughly $3 USD) for a one-week prepaid package with 4 gigs of data and 1000 minutes at VIP. We found cell service across the country to be excellent (of course it’s better in big cities).

Read:  How to Get a Serbian Sim Card

Serbia - Belgrade - Taxi Selfie

Taxi drivers in the Balkans have a bad reputation and it’s not entirely undeserved. We got scammed by taxi drivers so much that we even wrote a guide to avoiding fake taxis in Sofia .

Personally, I try not to take unregistered taxi rides unless I have to. If you or someone else calls a taxi from a company on your behalf to pick you up, the ride will be registered in the system, greatly reducing the chances that your taxi driver will try any funny business with you. When we arrived at the Belgrade bus station and didn’t have working SIM cards yet, we ignored the pushy drivers who approached us as we got off the bus and walked to the nearest hotel and asked them to call a taxi for us. They were happy to oblige.

Once we got SIM cards, we relied on CarGo in order to get us around Belgrade. The app has similar functionality to Uber which is great because it means that you don’t have to deal with cash ever when going by taxi – your data is stored in your account and it is debited automatically. I also like that instead of rewarding a giant multinational conglomerate with questionable ethical practices, you are supporting a local Serbian start-up.

Beware of Loud Birds

Serbia - Belgrade - Novi Beograd Promenade

Every day around dusk, the birds of Belgrade go crazy, squawking up a storm. While it sounds like it’s the oncoming apocalypse or the start to a Hitchcockian nightmare, it isn’t.  It’s just them jostling for position in their trees.

Kosovo…Don’t Talk About It

Kosovo - Prizren - Pixabay

Even young Serbs have strong opinions about Kosovo’s quest for recognition, their current leadership, and what happened between the two countries over the past few decades. In fact, avoid referring to Kosovo as a “country” at all while in Serbia.

While it’s perfectly fine to listen to them explain the situation from their point of view, there’s no reason to bring up your own opinions on the topic if they differ from that of your host or guide. You might also see memorials or pictures of people killed in bombings done by Kosovo political activists. In our opinion, it’s better to be polite and show respect to these innocent Serbians who lost their lives at leave it at that.

Traveling Between Serbia and Kosovo

Kosovo - Monastery - Pixabay

There’s a lot of confusion on the internet about the correct way to travel between Serbia and Kosovo. In fact, when  I tried to make the journey, Google Maps even had the rules programmed in wrong! It’s actually really simple:

  • If you want to visit Serbia and then go to Kosovo, that is fine.
  • If you want to go to Kosovo and then to Serbia, you must enter Kosovo via Serbia.

Essentially, if you enter Kosovo from Macedonia or Montenegro, and then try to cross into Serbia, Serbia will consider you to have entered their country illegally since they do not recognize Kosovo independence legally. Practically, they are aware that they don’t control these borders, but that is not the issue here.

If you cross into Serbia and then go on to Kosovo, you will have the correct entry stamp in your passport for Serbia, and they will treat you as if you have been in Serbia the entire time. If you try to board a bus in Kosovo headed to Serbia, the bus driver will check that you have a Serbian entry stamp before allowing you to board.

When trying to plan the bus route for Visegrad in Bosnia to Pristina, Google Maps did not have the routes through Serbia showing, and instead, it tried to direct me to go back to Montenegro. This would have added a full day on my trip! If you’re trying to take a bus to Kosovo and want to go through Serbia, you will need to rely on locals and the bus companies directly for assistance until Google fixes this glitch.

Smoking in Restaurants & Bars

Serbia - Belgrade - Ambar Restaurant

One thing that will feel very retro for many visitors from the rest of Europe or North America, is that Serbia still allows smoking inside of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. These places can get pretty smokey, and during the day this can feel extra stuffy when sunlight is streaming through the windows amplifying the smell.

If smoking bothers you, we suggest visiting during warm months when you can sit outside or finding restaurants that have non-smoking sections that aren’t next to the smoking section.

Serbia - Subotica - Sign

The official language of Serbia is Serbian, a southern Slavic language. If you’ve been to Bulgaria, you’ll probably notice a lot of similarities with Bulgarian, since they come from the same branch of the Slavic language family tree.  Linguist dispute whether Serbian is truly distinct from Croatian, or if there’s just one Serbo-Croatian language with varying regional dialects.

I will stay out of that debate, but as a foreigner who doesn’t speak more than five hundred words of any Slavic language, I did not notice a difference traveling between Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Croatia.

Serbia - Belgrade -Sign in English and Serbian

In Serbia, you’ll find the English language accessibility to be about the same as in other Balkan countries. In large cities and tourist centers, English is common. In Belgrade, your server or tour guide will likely speak perfect English, and it’s common to be handed an English menu without even asking.

Tourist signs all over the city are also written in Serbian and English, making navigating between landmarks simple. In addition, young people (under forty) typically studied English in school, and they will usually be able to communicate easily. Older Serbs, who studied Russian in school, will be less likely to speak English unless they work in tourism or the service industry.

In the villages and smaller towns, both spoken and written English is less common. In these situations, you will want to have Google translate or another translation app installed on your phone and a data plan on your cell phone so that you can use it.

The Cyrillic Alphabet

Serbia - Subotica - Street Sign

One thing that I love being able to do whenever I’m in Serbia is reading Cyrillic. In situations where there’s no English available, at least I can read what’s in front of me. (This usually entails finding the shopska salad and margarita pizza options on a menu).

While Serbia uses latin letters often, I find it’s actually easier for me to correctly pronounce Serbian words when reading Cyrillic, rather than the Latin letters with the diacritical marks that turn all the tsz sounds into the letter c . You can easily travel Serbia without knowing the Cyrillic alphabet, but I think it makes your trip easier. Luckily, we’ve created a handy PDF explaining the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet and its pronunciations that you can print out or keep on your phone. You can download it via the form below!

Serbia - Belgrade - Pharmacy Allison

Going to a pharmacy ( Apteka ) in Serbia is an easy process. However, some medications typically available in the European Union aren’t stocked here. Since Serbia is not in the EU, prescription and medication rules here are different. We found that most of what we wanted was available easily, but some things were not. For example, they did not have the specific brand of OTC antihistamine that we were looking for (though available in the EU), but we were able to get an alternative.

Contact lenses are available without a prescription, making this a great place to stock up on contacts if you know what your prescription should be. Overall, we found pharmacies here to be friendly and well priced, with rules slightly differing from the EU that made some items easier to get and other items harder. If there’s any medication that you have that is crucial, bring enough with you just in case.

Driving in Serbia

Serbia - Subotica - Lake Palic Rental Car

First the basics: you drive on the right side of the road like the rest of continental Europe and North America.

Driving in Serbia is surprisingly pleasant! The country has invested a lot in maintaining its roads, making driving on the highway a smooth experience. Because the country doesn’t have as many mountains as most of its neighbors, you’ll experience fewer small mountain roads and better highway visibility.

There are a few things to watch out for, though. Traffic in Belgrade can be a nightmare, and the gas (petrol) prices are steep!

Read:  13 Things to Know Before Driving in Serbia

Renting a Car

Serbia - Lake Palic - Allison Rental Car

Renting a car in Serbia is easy, but there were a few surprises, including giant deposits (over two thousand Euros!) and the automatic cars being twice as expensive to rent as manuals. Combine that with high gas prices, and you might find it’s more expensive to drive a rental than to book a day tour if there’s less than two of you.

Of course, if you want to drive to places completely off-the-beaten-path, then a rental car is clutch. Just know that if you don’t know how to use one (a clutch, that is), then you’re going to pay a lot more than in other countries.

Money in Serbia

Serbia - Nikola Tesla Bill Money - Pixabay

Serbian money is called dinars. You can get it at ATM, which is what we do since we get the best exchange rates. One hundred Serbian dinar is about 0.96 USD and 0.85 Euros. I just used the rule of thumb that one hundred dinar was about a dollar, but obviously, if your home currency isn’t USD then it’s not quite so easy.

You’ll need cash when traveling outside of the cities since many businesses will not take credit cards. However, in the cities, most places took credit cards with the exception of public transport,  pekaras, and museums. You’ll also want cash to tip since you can’t add tipping onto your card. To use your debit or credit for taxis, download the Car.Go app discussed above.

For my most recent trip to Serbia, I spent two weeks based in Belgrade. I used about $200 USD in cash and everything else was on my debit or credit cards.

Tipping in Serbia

Serbia - Belgrade -Manufaktura Umbrellas Restaurant

Like Bulgaria, Serbia doesn’t have a tipping culture but there are norms. In restaurants, it’s common to tip ten to fifteen percent. You won’t be able to leave a tip on your credit card at most places, so try to have small bills with you for these circumstances. If necessary, the restaurant will be able to give you change so you can leave a tip. In taxis (if paying with cash and not an app) just round up to the next hundred. Do the same at bars and cafes.

Long-Distance Buses in Belgrade

Serbia - Belgrade - Allison Platform Tickets

The main bus station in Belgrade, BAC, is a large complex spread out over several areas. Always arrive at least forty-five minutes before your bus is scheduled to depart to leave yourself time to check in at the ticket window (even if you’ve purchased tickets ahead of time) and find your bus’s platform. Note that you’ll need to purchase an additional bus platform ticket for 180 RSD (about $1.80) to be allowed to enter your buses platform. This price is in addition to your bus ticket price. For this fee, you may only pay in cash.

There is an ATM in the bus station, but you’ll feel a bit silly getting out such a small sum in cash before you depart. I know we did! Worse, if you don’t show up with enough time to get the platform ticket (and cash if necessary) you’ll be in danger of missing your bus altogether.

Safety in Serbia

Serbia - Belgrade - Gardos Tower Stephanie

After two months of travel all over Serbia, we haven’t run into any safety issues that would make Serbia more difficult to travel than the rest of Europe. Like all places in Europe, there’s a low-level risk for terrorism from political agitators.

Read:  Is Serbia safe? Thoughts on Travel Safe and Solo Female Travel in Serbia

The US State Department advises visitors to “exercise normal precautions.” (Check here to see if this alert level has changed). Be smart about your bags, alcohol consumption, general night safety, etc. But you should feel just as safe in Serbia as the rest of the continent. If you are an American, you can enroll in the STEP program (the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program ) to keep the US government aware of your travel plans in case of an emergency. I personally use this program when in places a bit more chaotic than Serbia, but better safe than sorry, especially if this is your first trip to a Balkan country .

One thing you’ll always want to have in case of an emergency or theft while traveling is up-to-date travel insurance . We use and recommend   World Nomads .

Serbia Travel Visas

Bulgaria - Border Crossing - Passport Control

Serbia is not part of the EU or the Schengen Zone. However, many people can visit Serbia without needing to obtain a travel visa. Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, and most Europeans can visit Serbia for ninety days visa-free. Many more countries can visit Serbia for thirty days visa free, while citizens of Hong Kong can visit for fourteen days without a visa. People from Africa (with the exception of Tunisia) and a few other countries throughout the world will need to apply for a tourist visa ahead of time.

Check with Serbia directly for the most up-to-date information.

Remember that Serbia is not part of any visa scheme, either with the EU or with other Balkan nations, so if you can visit Serbia visa-free, this will not give you permission to visit any other Balkan or European country. However, if you have a valid visa to visit the Schengen Zone (or a few other places), Serbia will give you visa-free entry and it will not count against your time in the Schengen Zone.

One of the most important Balkan tips we repeat over and over is about travel visas. When traveling the Balkans, remember that the only countries which are part of the Schengen are Slovenia and Greece. For travel to the other ten Balkan countries , you will need to check the rules individually.

Tourist Registration

Serbia - Belgrade - AirBnB Flowers

One thing I see on a lot of Serbia travel forums is questions about registering. Here’s the technical rule as laid out by Serbia’s official tourism board :

Serbian organisations and individuals providing accommodation to foreigners against payment, as well as locals hosting visiting foreigners, must register the foreigner’s stay with the local police station within 24 hours of the commencement of the accommodation arrangement, or of the foreign visitor’s arrival. A foreigner not using official accommodation nor staying with a private individual must register his or her stay and change of address with the local police station within 24 hours of arriving at the place of residency or of the change of address. A place of residency is where a foreigner intends to stay for more than 24 hours.

Beyond the paperwork, you also pay a fee equivalent to four Euros. What does this mean for people who rent through AirBnB like I did on my most recent trip? I think technically the renter is supposed to register you. But I actually have no idea. And not once did any Serbian official ask me about it, nor did our AirBnB host mention it.

So for the anxiety-ridden rule followers out there, know this exists. I’m sure you’ll go to a lot of trouble to make sure you’re registered. For the rest of you, it’s up to you if you want to ask your hosts about it. The only time I would personally worry about this is if I travel to Serbia in the future and fall under the category of not using official accommodations or staying with a private individual. But I don’t even know how I would do that.

Electrical Outlets

Serbia - Gardos - Stephanie

Serbia uses the same electrical outlets common across Europe and 220V. Remember that in North America, our outlets are 110V, so be careful about what you plug in here. I use a converter since my main electronics (laptop, camera charger, phone charger) can all handle 220V.

Many appliances like hair dryers would blow if you plug them into just an outlet converter. If you absolutely need to bring an appliance from North America that only takes 110V, you will need a voltage converter. These are pricier than just an outlet converter since they actually change the amount of voltage coming out of the outlet and flowing into your appliance.

BONUS: Where to Stay in Belgrade

We know one of the most intimidating parts of planning your trip is figuring out where to stay – so here are some tips for where to stay in Belgrade, the main port of call for most Serbia trips!

Budget:  If you want a cozy feeling hostel,  Hostel Home Sweet Home  in the Savamala neighborhood of Belgrade is a fantastic choice. Its central location close to Knez Mihailova Street and other Belgrade must-sees makes staying here ultra-convenient. It’s sunny and open, with options for dorm rooms as well as affordable single and double rooms for travelers who want a little more privacy without paying a fortune. It’s one of the best-rated options in town, so we recommend you  check out availability and book in advance here .

Another popular choice is  Balkan Soul Hostel , located in Stari Grad and a convenient walk from all the hot spots like Kalemegdan Park, Belgrade Fortress, and the splavovi on the Sava River. Every bed has its own charging area and lights, which are essential to me when picking a hostel. It has a social atmosphere and friendly staff who can make your stay in Belgrade even more charming.  Check out availability and reviews here .

Mid-Range:  There are so many great options in this price-range — Belgrade really excels at providing great value when it comes to accommodations in this price tier. One fun option is a floating hotel on the confluence of the Sava and Danube Rivers,  San Art Floating Hostel & Apartments . While it’s located in Novi Beograd and therefore a little out of the action, I love the floating deck where you can have sunset drinks, and I like the that the décor is a little bit nostalgic, with details like rotary phones and old radios.  You can check it out here .

If you want a more traditional accommodation option, we recommend the affordable four-star  Zepter Hotel on Terazije, one of our favorite streets in all of Belgrade. It has all the amenities you’d expect from a 4-star hotel, like a gym room, in-room coffee machine, and a fantastic daily breakfast. Rooms sell out often, so  check out availability and book in advance .

Luxury:  We’d be remiss if we didn’t suggest the classic luxury option in Belgrade, Hotel Moskva – one of our favorite buildings in the city and a classic haunt of famous politicians, musicians, actors, and other celebrities who pass through Belgrade. It’s also surprisingly affordable for its caliber! With a renowned spa, delicious restaurant (don’t miss the moskva schnit cake – we love it!), and beautifully designed rooms, it’s one of our favorite places in Belgrade and the location is unbeatable. However, it’s almost always sold out, so be sure to  check availability and book well in advance  and hope you get lucky!

If you want a more modern take on luxury, in a beautiful boutique hotel that is classy to the nines, we recommend  Boutique Garni Hotel Townhouse 27.  This hotel is beautifully designed in rich colors, with key details like fresh flowers in the rooms and a gorgeously-presented breakfast. The staff is helpful and courteous and you’ll love the location just off Knez Mihailova in Stari Grad.  Check out availability here.

its overall wonderful reading you blog.

I am traveling through Eastern Europe coming FEB 2019

I would like to know any information regarding taking a train from SOFIA to SERBIA & SERBIA to BUDAPEST?

if possible give me the bus/train station name,(e.g where i should get down and take the connection train/bus)

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you Dheepan! Unfortunately, in winter the train schedules run quite differently and it is really inconvenient to take the train as it requires multiple connections (they are better in summer). Instead, I recommend you to take a bus. From Sofia to Serbia (Belgrade) we have a post about it here: https://sofiaadventures.com/sofia-to-belgrade-bus/ that has full details better there I can write down in a comment.

Basically, You leave from Serdika Station in Sofia (NOT the Central Bus Station, but they are very close – about 100 meters walking distance) and then you arrive just outside the Central Bus Station in Belgrade. There is one direct bus a day. You can also take Matpu to Nis, and then take the Nis Express to Belgrade (two buses).

From Belgrade to Budapest I recommend taking a Flixbus (flixbus.com) – there are two a day leaving Belgrade, one in the morning and one at night. They go from Belgrade Central Bus Station to Budapest Népliget.

Hi Stephanie and Allison, I thoroughly enjoyed your blog on Serbia. Thank you very much. In fact I’m planning on going there for 3 months in 2020. First I’m wondering if 3 months is going to be enough to see Serbia and Montenegro.? Second should I base myself in 1 location like Belgrad or Novi Sad and take day trips or should I stay in 2 or 3 different locations while exploring? I was born in Novi Becej 60 years ago and left the country 50 years ago therefor have no idea what would be the best option in having a base. If you can suggest the best location/s to stay in while exploring I would be very grateful. Sue

Wow! You’re going on a trip of a lifetime!

If I were planning a trip with 3 months for Serbia and Montenegro, I would want a base for a few weeks at a time and then do a couple of shorter overnights. For example, you could base yourself in Belgrade but then do a few nights in Novi Sad and Subotica before moving on. I’m super jealous, sounds like you’re going to have an amazing time!

I would not skip going to Kosovo. You can cover most of the sites in Kosovo in a week! Definitely check out our post on the best cities and towns in Serbia. Three months is more than enough to do complete justice to Serbia and Montenegro!

Im a Srilankan passport holder . And i have US multiple visa. Can i use US visa as a supporting documat to enter serbia

This is what Serbia states as its official policy:

At its meeting of 30 October 2014, the Government of the Republic of Serbia adopted the Decision on visa free entry to the Republic of Serbia for holders of foreign passports having a valid Schengen, UK and other Member States’ visa, or visa of the United States of America, and for holders of foreign passports having residence permit in the countries of the Schengen area, EU or the United States of America, which was published in the “Official Gazette of RS”, No. 119 of 31 October 2014 and which will enter into force on 8 November 2014.

By this decision, the above-mentioned categories of foreign nationals may, without prior visa application, enter, transit or stay in the Republic of Serbia up to 90 days during a six-month period, but not exceeding the expiring date of the said visas or residence permits.

My advice would be to print this out and have a hard copy with you in case the border officer isn’t aware. You can find it on their website here.

I’ll like to visit but don’t know how to go about it am a Nigerian looking to spend less anyway

The first place to start would be to get a travel visa to Serbia. Are you based in Nigeria or somewhere else?

Do u know anyway to have a private transfer from Blegrade airport to Kraljevo? And then return back to the airport 10 days later?

Thank you and I appreciate your comment.

You’re welcome!

Thank you and I appreciate with you.

Hi I am planning to visit Serbia on visa free due to USA visa from turkey and from Serbia to Bosnia with Pakistani passport .what do I need during my travel .and can I travel more than one balagan countries in one attempt.

Hi Adnan, double check that both of these countries accept a USA visa as valid entry and contact the MFA of Serbia or Bosnia with any questions. Note that for many of the countries, the USA visa must be multi-entry and not expired. We are not visa experts so we cannot advise any further, sorry.

Hi there… I am going to visit Serbia this month actually, and your articles are very very helpful! While I want to know more about CarGo the app. What kind of card can be used? Master card or visa card or both? Thaaaaanks so much

Hi Mich, I’ve used my Mastercard but Visa should work as well!

I would like to go Serbia due to job purpose Is it possible? What should I do to go Serbia How to go Serbia How many amount should arrange if I would live over there 15 days? Where should I stay cheap n best in Serbia Kindly reply me please Regards PRADIP Kumar Sharma 7015144228

Hi Pradip, sorry, we don’t know this kind of information as we focus on travel. I recommend getting in touch with local Serbian companies to see if they are hiring in a specialty area you have, because it’s quite difficult to just move without a job offer.

Hi Allison, Thank you for this wonderful write up. Am planning to do a one month cycling in Serbia. Can I tent anywhere on the side of the road, or are there any restrictions? Also, are there any good GPS maps available exclusively for cyclists or is it ok just to follow Google maps, what you say from your experience. Am a solo traveller. Thanks again, Dennis

Hi Dennis – sorry, but I have no idea about the camping rules or any cycling resources – I haven’t experienced either! Good luck on your trip, sounds like a great journey!

Hi, thanks for the wonderful writeup and tips. Very much useful. Im heading over to Serbia next week and was thinking to visit Kosovo from there. Me and my wife have valid UK visas, but do not have a Schengen visa. We are having Indian passport. Can we enter Kosovo with UK visa ?

According to Wikipedia, only valid multi-entry Schengen visas will allow you to enter Kosovo with a Kosovo Visa. However, visa policies for Kosovo may not be reported accurately (it happens in this part of the world). I would suggest you reach out to the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs for confirmation. Note that Serbia will not consider you to be leaving Serbia, so you only need to worry about if Kosovo will let you in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Kosovo

Hi, thanks for the information about your trip in Serbia. Just want to asked if is there any possible problem with me about my travel going to Serbia. I will visit my boyfriend there and it’s my first time also to go in Serbia. I’m an au pair currently in Denmark and I have a visa good for two years and I have a residence permit in Denmark also. Thanks for your answer!

Hi Maria! If you have a valid Schengen residency permit, it should be fine. From the MFA website:

“At its meeting of 30 October 2014, the Government of the Republic of Serbia adopted the Decision on visa free entry to the Republic of Serbia for holders of foreign passports having a valid Schengen, UK and other Member States’ visa, or visa of the United States of America, and for holders of foreign passports having residence permit in the countries of the Schengen area, EU or the United States of America”

Thank you for sharing your story, you wrote interesting facts about Serbia. It was important for me in what language I can communicate in Serbia.

Glad you found it helpful!

Serbia is a country that has some extreme weather and the best time to visit Serbia would be from mid -April to the end of June.  The capital city of Belgrade is well connected to all the major cities in the world.

Serbia, as a country is friendly, welcoming and lots of fun. Belgrade is a well- known party capital in Europe and rivals Berlin. Serbia is a cultural pot of wonders.

Belgrade stands on the confluence of the Danube and Sava and is the only European city to do so. Soak into the history as you visit the prominent landmark of Beogradska Tvrdava.

What people love about Serbia Tours

I recommend taking this tour to see beautiful Serbia! Discover Serbia is an overview of everything Serbia has to offer. From the beautiful architecture in Belgrade to the historic church’s with fresco paintings from over 500 years ago to the ski slopes by the border of Montenegro. Slobodan was an excellent tour guide and Zorica helped plan the whole trip from A to Z and was also excellent. Overall, the hotel choices and breakfast were also 5 ⭐️! Slobodan gave a really nice overview from all aspects of Serbia. Excellent tour guide. Hyatt Belgrade, Hotel Palisad in Zlatibor with all the meals included were also all around excellent. Zorica helped the planning from Serbia Tour Operator DMC and was very helpful. I highly recommend this tour.
All the guides were excellent. Communication was good, the hotels they chose were great.....overall a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this company.

Balkans is the hidden jewel of Europe, yet to be explored by the Indian traveller. Frequent flight connections, Easier visa formalities (In fact Serbia has a facility of Visa on arrival for Indian travellers) and friendly prices of the hotels and sightseeing excursions are some of the reasons for a sudden interest from the Indian travel and holiday package market .

Cities that once made headings for all the incorrect reasons are now impressing with their variety and authenticity. Landmarks that were all but wiped out in the 1990s-like Mostar's iconic 16th-century stone bridge and Dubrovnik's Old Town walls-have been fastidiously reanimated. Beyond the sights to be seen, however, it's the unabashed hospitality that makes each day spent in the Balkans unexpected. A peaceful lunch by yourself can rapidly morph into dinner by the seaside with enthusiastic residents who will not hear of you not attempting everything on the menu. This is a region overflowing with fresh adventures that are more available than ever before.

Outdoor Tour and Holiday Activities in Balkan

Rocky Mountains and terracotta towns plunge stunningly into the Adriatic Sea along the Croatian and Montenegrin shorelines. Parts of the Balkans have been drawing outside adventurers for centuries; however some pockets are only now being contributed to adrenalin addicts' do-before-you-die lists. Significant landscapes like Albania's and Macedonia's ominous mountain peaks are produced trekking and cycling, and there are wild rivers to raft in Bosnia & Hercegovina, Serbia or Slovenia. For those who would rather simply absorb the outdoors than set out to dominate them, some of the boat trips in the Balkans move you past picturesque surroundings matchless to any worldwide.

The relative cost of adventures implies that the Balkans is a playground for thrill-seekers and outside enthusiasts. This area is as great for strapping on safety gear as it is for simply kicking back and taking in the excellent outdoors.

Bovec, Slovenia Along with neighboring Bled, this is the area's incomparable location for severe sports, offering whatever from canyoning to hydspeeding.

Great-value skiing, Bosnia & Hercegovina Increasingly functional therefore far affordable, attempt Bjelašnica, Jahorina and Vlašić mountains.

Rafting the Tara Canyon, Montenegro Hit the rapids of the Tara River in Europe's deepest canyon.

Shipwreck diving, Croatia A calcified 3rd-century Roman ship is immersed off Croatia's Mljet Island.

Hiking in the Accursed Mountains, Albania Snow-capped peaks and conventional mountain villages in one of Europe's the majority of remote corners.

Historical Tours of Balkan

Though modification is coming on rapidly, timeless traditions and cultural custom-mades aren't falling by the wayside. Blood fights in some parts aren't as ancient as they should be and pastoral scenes are still as home-grown as they ever were. It's a region where you can hardly keep up with the night life, but still get stuck behind a horse and cart. Urban landscapes are a pop-up book of ancient architecture on a grand scale, and winding Ottoman streets are punctuated with Austro-Hungarian vacation homes and the periodic communist concrete block. Include Roman ruins and a Venetian exterior, then cover all of it in a medieval wall and stick it by the sea. History isn't just ancient in the Balkans, it's legendary. This was the battlefield and resting location of the Byzantine, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires; a stroll through town can stimulate the fluctuate of civilizations.

Stunning Sightseeing Tours

Who does not like beautiful views? There are some sights to be seen in the Balkans that rival throughout the world for dropping your jaw, but here you might even have a few of them all to yourself.

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia Turquoise waters, rich forest, several waterfalls- enough stated.

Lake Koman, Albania A special pocket of the world seen from the ferry through Albania's remote mountainous north.

Lovćen National Park, Montenegro A dizzy drive from Kotor to the Njegoš Mausoleum at the peak of the Black Mountain.

Train from Belgrade to Bar Southeastern Europe's most remarkable train journey through the rolling hills of Serbia and the incredible canyons of Montenegro.

Triglav National Park, Slovenia A three-headed mountain commands a swathe of turquoise river gorges and placid meadows.

Old Towns Tours of Balkans

You will not discover slippery marble stones, cobbled squares, weaving back streets and crumbling walls rather like this anywhere but the Balkans. Time spent lost in an Old Town is time well invested.

Dubrovnik, Croatia Marble-paved streets and glorious ocean views can be admired from Dubrovnik's resplendent city walls.

Kotor, Montenegro Walled Kotor is drastically wedged between the sea and the steeply rising grey mountainside.

Sarajevo, Bosnia & Hercegovina Enjoy a Turkish coffee in the bustling old Turkish quarter of town.

Berat, Albania This meandering town with its Unesco-listed black and white homes is so regularly old that even the hostels are Ottoman-style.

Ohrid, Macedonia Stunning 13th-century church set down on a cliff above one of Europe's deepest and earliest lakes.

Map of Countries in Balkans

Ancient History

Nothing screams the Balkans like a medieval monastery set down on a clifftop or a Venetian palace on the Adriatic coast. Although they guard centuries of history, the life goes on around these ancient sights much as it ever did.

Diocletian's Palace, Croatia Imposing Roman destroys in the beating heart of Split, including 220 ancient structures.

Butrint, Albania Enchanting 2500-years-old ruins in a lush forest on the Ionian coast and a fascinating insight into the layers of mind-blowing Balkans history.

Kalemegdan Citadel, Serbia Destroyed over 40 times, this fortress on the Danube was when squeezed between the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires.

Dečani Monastery, Kosovo Unesco-listed 13th-century monastery with fantastic frescoes, in an extremely lovely area underneath the mountains.

Mehmet Paša Sokolović Bridge, Bosnia & Hercegovina The Unesco-listed work of art that inspired Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić's classic work Bridge on the Drina.

Wining and Dining in Balkans

The spread of cooking and liquid treats available is astounding, from freshly made regional fruit and vegetables inland to specials plucked from the ocean. Wines will also surprise for the low price tag relative to high palatability by any standard.

Istrian delights, Croatia Top eateries provide truffles, wild asparagus and fresh seafood, with rakija (brandy) to start.

Slow food, Macedonia Homespun cooking, from paprika-tinged sausages to foraged mushrooms, is putting Macedonia strongly on the menu.

Vojvodinian salaši (granges), Serbia Combining standard Serbian cuisine with the impacts of neighbouring Hungary, Vojvodina's food is in a league of its own.

Mountain food, Montenegro Njeguši town in Lovćen National Park is famous for its pršut (smoke-dried ham) and Njeguški sir (cheese). Another conventional mountain meal is jagnjetina ispod sača (lamb roasted under hot coals).

Wine tasting, Bosnia & Hercegovina Hercegovina's homegrown wines are a revelation; the Trebinje region produces some of the best.

Whatever your party pace, you'll find it here. This is a region where the sound spectrum spans from grungy metropolitan dens to Balkan turbofolk, and from smooth bar tunes and smoky jazz clubs to beach celebrations.

Belgrade, Serbia one of the night life capitals of the world, Belgrade's eclectic celebration scene is limited only by imagination and hours in the day.

Hvar Town, Croatia it’s unbelievable that Hvar Island hasn't sunk with all the jumping up and down. There are sublime beaches to recover on.

Tirana, Albania the Albanian capital has an especially dynamic scene after dark around its popular Blloku neighbourhood.

Ljubljana, Slovenia For a shabby alternative to stylish clubs, moving towards Metelkova Mesto, an ex-army fort transformed into a free-living commune.

Sarajevo, Bosnia & Hercegovina The line in between Sarajevo's bars and coffee shops can be blurred. Increasing in appeal are coffee shops for smoking cigarettes narghile (hookah) tucked into previous caravanserai courtyards.

A One-Week Travel Itinerary to Serbia

The grisly Skull Tower in Niš

One week? You’ve only got one week? Well, seven days are better than zero days, and you can cover a huge amount of ground before Monday comes around again. Serbia is a country that evolves in a clear manner from north to south, so we advise following that direction in order to get the most out of it.

Day 1: tackle the serbian athens.

If you’re flying into Serbia, then it’s likely that you’ll land in Belgrade , but we’re going to begin our journey overland in the north of the country. Vojvodina is Serbia’s northern province, and it may well be its prettiest. Novi Sad is the second biggest city in the country and deserves no small amount of attention. It also happens to be very different from the rest of the state, making it an interesting starting point. Novi Sad’s town centre is full of elegant architecture and tranquil history, but you should make a beeline for Petrovaradin Fortress. It is located across the Danube, and plays host to EXIT Festival every summer. Be sure to explore it in quieter times.

Jovan Jovanović Zmaj stands in front of the Bishop’s Palace

Day 2: Explore Vojvodina

Day 3: monasteries and nature in fruška gora.

One last day in Vojvodina. Fruška Gora is the square peg in the round hole that is Serbia’s north, a mountain in the middle of some of the flattest land in the region. It is also a national park, which guarantees pristine nature and plenty of tranquility. That word doesn’t quite do justice to the many monasteries that are dotted throughout the countryside, housing some of the finest religious art in the area.

Day 4: Here goes nothing

Belgrade is just a short drive south of Novi Sad, and by day three, you should be ready to approach the capital city. The White City is the centre of all life in Serbia, so don’t be surprised to find the speedometer showing a slightly higher number here. Immerse yourself in the city’s cafe culture in order to get your bearings, before diving head on into the legendary nightlife once the sun goes down. Spend your evening around Skadarlija and Cetinjska for maximum enjoyment.

Belgrade comes alive at night

Day 5: Sightseeing in the capital

After a day of getting your bearings, the time has come to tackle the parks, museums, monuments and sights of Belgrade. You could easily spend seven days in the capital itself (many are still to leave), but a whistle-stop itinerary means the big hitters need to be addressed first. Kalemegdan, the Church of Saint Sava, Knez Mihailova and the Nikola Tesla Museum must be top of that list.

The glorious Victor Monument at Kalemegdan

Day 6: Back in time in Kruševac

You could choose to go east to Golubac or west to Šumadija , but we suggest heading south via the central Serbian town of Kruševac. The town has seen better days, but its role in the history of this proud nation cannot be overstated. The city was founded in 1371 by the venerable Prince Lazar, Serbia’s most iconic medieval leader and the man who led the nation into the Battle of Kosovo . The Serbian Army assembled here before that famous conflict in 1389. If you see that number spray painted on buildings throughout the country, you now know why.

Lazar stands proud in the centre of Kruševac

Day 7: Culinary wonder in the south

After six days of sightseeing (and no small amount of drinking), you may well be in serious need of a rest, so be sure to make time for yourself as you head to Niš. The third largest city in the country, Niš compliments Belgrade and Novi Sad with its Balkan atmosphere and incredible food, arguably the best in the country. There is a contradiction in here of course, as carnivores should stop off at Kafana Marjan on the way. Spend the afternoon traipsing around Niš, checking out the iconic Skull Tower and fortress in particular. The student city is an underrated night out in the region too — the perfect way to cap off a majestic week in Europe’s most underrated country.

Beautiful, beautiful ćevapi
