The city in a nutshell:
The largest city in the Balkans has great vibe, some beautiful spots and amazing nightlife.
Where to stay:
Near Knez Mihailova street, the main pedestrian area of the city.
The Good:
Belgrade is a fun city and also one of the cheapest capitals in Europe. The Serbian capital might not have the charm that other Balkan cities have, but is still a great place to spend a few days. If you have the chance: go and watch a football game (Red Star Belgrade). Nightlife is among the best in Europe.
It’s also e good low budget destinations, hotels and food/drinks in restaurants are pretty cheap.
The Bad & The Ugly:
Unfortunately, scams are common in this city. Take precautions, especially when using a taxi at night. I have never been scammed big time but in Belgrade (see: Country #37: Serbia).
