Serbia uses the Serbian Dinar (RSD). ATMs (bankomats) are widespread and safe to use. Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro) are accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops. Carry cash for rural areas and small family businesses. Exchange money at official exchange offices for the best rates.
Belgrade has excellent public transport with buses and trams. Buy tickets at kiosks (not from drivers) and validate them on board. The Belgrade to Novi Sad bus takes 1.5 hours. Taxis are affordable; use apps like CarGo for reliable rides. Serbia's train network is being modernized.
Tipping is not required but customary. Leave up to 10% for good service in restaurants. In bars and taxis, rounding up the fare is standard practice. Belgrade's nightlife is legendary, with splavovi (floating river clubs) on the Sava River.
Serbia offers visa-free entry for up to 90 days for citizens of many countries including EU, US, Canada, and Australia. No Schengen visa is required. Check the latest requirements for your nationality as Serbia is not part of the EU or Schengen Area.
Serbia uses Type F plugs with 230V/50Hz, the same as most of continental Europe. Travelers from the US, UK, or Asia will need a plug adapter.
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer pleasant weather for sightseeing. Summer brings the EXIT music festival in Novi Sad (July) and lively outdoor dining. Belgrade is vibrant year-round with its cafe culture and nightlife scene.
Cards are common in major Serbian cities, but smaller towns, bakeries, and markets may still prefer cash. Keep smaller Serbian dinar notes for transport and quick food stops.

A glimpse into our favourite moments from Serbia.
The magnificent dome of Saint Sava Temple in Belgrade showcases breathtaking Byzantine-style mosaics covering over 15,000 square meters with shimmering gold leaf backgrounds. The central apse depicts the Dormition of the Mother of God surrounded by apostles and saints, while the dome's intricate religious scenes and decorative patterns represent one of the largest Orthodox church interiors in the world. Built on the site where the Ottomans burned the relics of Saint Sava in 1594, this temple took over 80 years to construct and its interior mosaics were only completed in recent decades by Russian and Greek artists.
