Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and despite the country’s war-torn history, it is a wonderfully romantic destination. Positioned where the rivers of Danube and Sava meet, Belgrade exudes a natural charm.

With streets filled with magnificent Ottoman architecture and neoclassic buildings, Belgrade is home to forts, palaces, museums, religious buildings, zoos, street markets and more. This diverse destination provides everything you could want in a holiday.

One of the top attractions is the Ada Ciganlija Island, situated on the Sava River, offering a wonderful, distinctly Serbian experience.

Best time to visit Belgrade

Belgrade is a destination that experiences moderate to high volumes of rain throughout the year. The summer season (June – August) is the most popular time to visit; temperatures during this time reach the high 30s, and visitors can enjoy various cultural festivals and special events. This means, however, that more tourists visit during this time, which results in little to no availability (unless you book well in advance) and higher hotel rates. Winters last from December to March, and are usually freezing, reaching as low as 5°C during the day (and as low as -1°C during the evenings). The month that sees a slight increase in temperature is March. If you’re willing to brave the wet weather (rain can reach volumes of over 90 mm), this will be the time to visit for access to greater availability, cheaper hotel rates and less chance of being overwhelmed by the crowd. But really, it doesn’t matter when you visit this Serbian wonder: its fertile riverside location ensures that Belgrade is a beautiful holiday destination any time of the year.

Belgrade enjoys a relatively high level of safety; however, pickpocketing and petty theft has been known to occur, especially around public transport sites and in crowded areas. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight. Avoid wearing a backpack or purse.

In pubs and bars, locals may try to start a fight. Simply walk away, and refrain from antagonising them.

Homosexuality is not illegal in Belgrade, but those who practise it have been the target of discrimination. There are LGBT organisations in the city who can help.

Getting Around

In Belgrade, there are 12 tram lines, hundreds of bus lines, eight trolleybus lines, and nine minibus lines. You can pay for these services via the Bus Plus payment system, except for the minibuses.
