Useful suggestions about Serbia tourism
When in Serbia you can do whatever you want,
where ever you want and for as long as you want
but only if it suites you and the people around
you. Here are some tips to help you get around
when you visit Serbia, for all additional
information check useful links.
Money:
The local currency in Serbia is Republic of Serbia
Dinar (RSD). The exchange rate is,approximately,
90 rsd per 1€ (if you need the exact exchange
rate check the useful links).
Whenever you are paying in cash in Serbia you
should use dinars. However, some street venders
will accept euros or dollars. The prices are fixed
but you can try bargaining (good luck!).
The exchange offices are easy to find
(they usually have a yellow rectangular sign) or
you can use ATMs and banks. The exchange rate
is the same everywhere (it may vary slightly) and
the commission is nominal. Other than cash,
you can, of course, use your credit cards.
Transport:
Whether you arrive by plane, by bus, by train or
by boat you’ll need a way to get to your
accommodation. The best thing to do is to catch
a cab. However, you want to avoid the taxies
stationed around the airport and train or bus
stations since they all have a rather nasty habit
of ripping people of. What you should do is just go
onto the nearest street, wait for a cab to pass by
and just stop it by waving your hand. You only
pay by the meter and even if they drive you
around a bit it won't matter much since the cabs
are relatively cheap. If you need a taxi to drive
you around the city for a longer period of time,
it’s better to set the price before the ride
(they usually charge 10€ or 15€ per hour in
Belgrade). When arriving by plane it’s best to
call for a cab (see useful links) or to take
the airport bus.

If you don’t like cabs you can use public transport
(buses, trolleys and trams). You buy the ticket
from the driver which costs 80 rsd (0.9 €).
One ticket gets you one ride so every time you
get on you have to buy new one. It’s best to have
exact change. When you bought the ticket, use
the manual ticket perforator (usually near
the doors) to make your ticket valid.
If you can’t reach it, ask a person next to you to
do it for you. There is a night bus service as well
(from 00:00 a.m. till 04:30 a.m.) on every hour.
The fair for this ride is 100 dinars (1.1 €).
There are many rent-a-car offices in Serbia and
if you feel confident enough you can rent yourself
a car, a minivan or a bike and drive wherever
you want.
Finally, if you are coming in spring, summer or
autumn, you can also rent a bicycle and just cycle
your way through Serbia.
Accommodation:
There are all sorts of different hotels, hostels,
motels, camps, cabins, mountain lodges and
private sector accommodations (see useful links)
but if you would like some recommendations,
feel free to contact me and I’ll be glad to
suggest a few.
Food and drink:
Serbia is a gastronomical paradise. Being in the
center of the Balkans, which serves as the
crossroads between three continents, there’s an
abundance of different national and international
cuisine restaurants. Being diverse in its ethnicity,
there are a lot of local specialties that vary
from region to region.
Tourism in Serbia is full with a lot of great ideas
of how tourists can enjoy in many ways. You can
choose from a great variety of sights and
entertainment places, but before that, read these

whatever you want, to make your visit to Serbia
even more enjoyable.
