Legendary! Clubs on river boats (splavovi), warehouse parties, live music everywhere. Goes until sunrise. Summer on rivers, winter underground. Locals start at midnight.
Serbian fruit brandy (40-60% alcohol). National drink. Šljivovica (plum) most traditional. Served as welcome drink. Sip slowly! Try at Skadarlija kafanas.
Most nationalities visa-free for 90 days. Serbia not in EU/Schengen. Check your country's requirements. Russians can stay 30 days visa-free.
Useful tips for visiting Belgrade
Use CarGo app for taxis - Serbian Uber. Much cheaper and safer than street taxis. Works great.
Visit Kalemegdan Fortress at sunset for views over the river confluence. Free entry, beautiful park. Best spot in the city.
Dinner at Skadarlija with live music - order ćevapi, pljeskavica, or Karađorđeva šnicla. Rakija welcome shot is tradition!
Nightlife starts LATE - clubs empty until midnight. Splavovi (river clubs) are summer must. Dress code matters for trendy clubs.

location.payment.subtitle
Both cash and other payment methods widely used in Belgrade in 2025. Serbia leads region in cashless adoption with over 60% using cashless payments. Traditional cash declining but still significant. Most hotels, restaurants, shops, gas stations accept other methods. Contactless payments and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut) widely accepted in cities and tourist areas. Cash still necessary in remote areas, smaller vendors, markets, and taxis (unless app-ordered). Cash convenient for small bills and daily purchases.
Exchange offices (menjačnice) on every corner in Belgrade city centers and tourist areas offer best rates, better than banks/hotels/airport. Rates regulated by National Bank of Serbia. Banks safe but less favorable rates than exchange offices. ATMs (bankomats) widespread, safe, easy to find, dispense RSD at official rate. Some ATMs in major cities and airport now dispense EUR directly. Bring EUR or USD - easiest to exchange. Only use banks or official exchange offices, not street dealers. Choose local currency (RSD/EUR) at ATM to avoid high conversion fees. Since 2015, contactless and digital wallets work throughout Belgrade.
