13 recommendations to read before going to Belgrade

To make your trip to Belgrade more enjoyable and easy, I recommend you to read the following practical travel tips and advice. A list of recommendations I believe will be useful for your trip to Belgrade.

one. Try to get few items unless you have to.

If you travel a lot, you already know that you only need to take hand luggage with you. This is not just a hint for Belgrade, but it should be your primary goal to go everywhere with a few items. If you are going to visit Belgrade, it is enough to stay for a few days. The recommended duration should be 3 or at most 4 nights.

Do you need to buy 4-5 pairs of shoes, two luggage full of clothes, as well as some others, and the iron in your house? You will find that a small hand baggage will be enough if you choose your things according to your destination and the number of days you intend to stay. You will have fewer queues at the airport, no luggage when you get off the plane and less load. You will also have room for souvenirs at the end of your trip. It is a great advantage to travel lightly while traveling.

Depending on the airline you are traveling to, hand baggage sizes may vary. However, as of January 2016, the dimensions determined by many airlines are 55x40x23 cm. The weight of the hand luggage is between 8 and 10 kg.

2nd. Leave your travel guides at home

A lot of people buy a lot of travel guides about their destination before traveling. A simple search on Google to find out about your destination country, city, or location will give you the information you need. If you plan your travel plans by using travel guides, it is enough to take copies of the necessary sections instead of taking the whole guide with you. So you don't have to carry a lot of books with you.

3. Learn a few Serbian words

90% of Serbs, especially Belgraders, speak very good English. Speaking in other languages like German, French, the rates are low. If you speak English, your trip to Belgrade will be much more enjoyable.

Serbs are warm to foreigners speaking in their language or at least trying to speak or speaking a few words. They like it and help with everything. For this reason, I recommend you to learn a few Serbian words as you find time. You can learn a few words from this guide.

4. No need to keep your mouth shut!

You can easily drink water from the tap in Belgrade. So you don't need to keep your mouth shut while taking a shower :). The tap water in your facility can be drunk. You can drink water from the fountains you will see in many places in Belgrade.

If you want to visit the city on foot, I recommend you to have water with you.

5. Should we go to Belgrade on tours?

Touring has advantages and disadvantages. As with many people who prefer to travel with package tours, there are many people who prefer to travel on their own.

If you find the tours routine and do not want to tour with a crowded group of guided guides, we recommend you to plan your own trip.

Navigating Belgrade on your own is not as difficult as you think. On our website you will find all the information you need.

Attractions in Belgrade are very close to each other, so you can also walk on foot. If you are not going to leave Belgrade, you will not need to rent a car. You should prefer public transport or taxis to more remote destinations. Transportation in Belgrade is both cheap and easy.

You can find the most suitable facility for your Belgrade accommodation here.

Note: I recommend you to visit many countries and cities with tours. To me, Belgrade is not one of these cities.

6. Don't cash money at your hotel and airport

Exchange rates of hotels and banks are lower than foreign exchange offices. Instead of exchanging money at your hotel, use the exchange offices that you can find every step. I would like to remind you that you can make all your payments with your credit card or debit card and you will not pay commissions for this transaction. See this page for more information.

There are plenty of ATMs all over the city, so you don't have to carry too much cash with you.

7. If you want to go with a guide, choose a local guide

If you want to visit museums or historical sites with a guide, a guide in Belgrade who speaks Turkish will be of great help.

I have a few acquaintances who work as a Turkish guide in Belgrade. I would also recommend Ms. Nejla, a resident of Belgrade. You can reach him at the phone number below. You can contact him for guidance on Belgrade.

It can show you places you won't notice on your own, and will give you more interesting and detailed information than a travel guide.

8. When to go to Belgrade?

Belgrade is a cold and rainy winter like most European cities, so I recommend you to visit in summer. The winters are cold and snowy, the summers average 27 degrees and the rainy days in spring and autumn are 10-11 days.

Belgrade is more beautiful in the summer, when entertainment and nightlife are very lively and vibrant. If you have other plans for the summer months, it is also ideal for visiting Belgrade in spring and autumn. I recommend you to plan between May and September to visit the capital of Serbia, Belgrade.

9. Please take care of your conversations

People in Belgrade who you never expected may be speaking Turkish. Among the languages spoken in the world, Serbian contains the most Turkish words. Did you know that Serbian is a language that contains about 9000 Turkish words? Even if they do not use all these words in daily life, you can find many common words. You can see some of the common words from this link.

There are inappropriate words that we all often use almost every day, so be careful when using them. You can't guess who speaks which language.

10. Try not to plan

Planning every detail can often give people confidence, but it's not much fun. When you come to Belgrade, you will find that all the cafes, restaurants and bars in the city are full every day and every day of the week. This surprised everyone who came to Belgrade. “Friend, these people don't have a job? Bu that's a question I often hear.

This habit from Yugoslavia still continues. Especially the people who lived a very prosperous life in the time of Tito, intend to continue these habits regardless of today's difficult conditions. This is the most logical explanation of the above problem.

In Belgrade, people are not in a hurry to go to meetings, meetings and workplaces. Belgraders believe that the days they spent without a plan were more fun. Actually, the impression I got here is the same. Right, the days we spend leaving it flowing more joyful. So, while you are in Belgrade, do not plan and let the day flow and be comfortable.

11th. Live the moment and don't worry about the little things

We may encounter many problems when traveling. When we encounter long queues, planes that don't get up in time, lost luggage and things we don't often expect, we can get bored. In this case, we need to think positively, not to worry about the small things and to bring our joy back.

When arriving in Belgrade, if the police officer asks for your hotel reservation and return ticket at the passport control, do not bother and worry. Your stay in Belgrade will bring you back. Relax and enjoy your stay in Belgrade, where you can discover many new things.

12. What is Belgrade like?

Enough for 2 days to visit the city. For the remaining days, you may want to look at uncles playing chess in Kale Square, join people who spend time in cafes during work hours, watch the sunset from the Belgrade Fortress against the Danube and Sava rivers (do this for sure) and fish in Zemun.

Belgrade is a beautiful city with a soul. If your vacation is not sunbathing or swimming in the sea, this city is ideal for a 3-4 day trip.

A city where you can go to your husband, lover or man to man. I hear you say “It's a city to go man to man 🙂 :). Belgrade is a city where you wake up every morning and look forward to the night. The Serbian girls are really nice, you can read it everywhere. Ideal for nightlife lovers. According to Turkey to eat and drink, transport and cheaper than a similar lot about it. Belgrade is very beautiful, so don't worry about it. You can find many sources that support this.

13. Funny suggestion: Hide your travel guide

In most European countries, people ignore you when you ask for directions to your destination. So to avoid ignoring you, you need to hide the travel guide or map you carry with you. But if you are in Belgrade, do the opposite and take your map or guide. In Berlin “you have a map, what are you asking me for? Yol perspective in Belgrade“ Oh! Look, tourists came to our city, let's help var approach. Really many times people have taken me to where I go. It's free to look like a tourist in Belgrade.

I wish you a good time in Belgrade…
