Practical essentials for Serbia
Serbian dinar (RSD)
Serbian, written in both Cyrillic and Latin script; English is widely spoken in Belgrade
Type C/F, 230V 50Hz
Belgrade's buses, trams and trolleybuses have been free for everyone since 1 January 2025 - there is no ticket to buy and nothing to tap.
Bills rarely carry a service charge, so round up in cash - about 10% for a proper sit-down meal - because card terminals usually give you no way to add one.
Belgrade's tap water is safe to drink; the city waterworks tests some 15,000 samples a year against regulations aligned with EU and WHO standards.
Right-hand side; an EU or UK licence is accepted for a short visit, and the 1968 International Driving Permit is recommended rather than required.
112 (general), 192 (police), 194 (ambulance), 193 (fire)
