Safety Tips

Belgrade does not have high level of street crime, but pick-pocketing do occur. People traveling to Serbia should take the same precautions in Belgrade as they would in any large city around the world.

You are strongly advised to have health insurance checked and covered in the unlikely event of some health emergency. Citizens of countries with which Serbia has not signed an international health insurance treaty pay for emergency medical assistance received during their temporary stay in Serbia. Any costs incurred may be reimbursed by their own insurance company on return to their home country. Please do check whether your country has a signed international health insurance treaty.

Food and water safety

The public water supply in Serbian towns and cities is safe and palatable. There are a great number of brands of bottled water, both still and sparkling, widely sold at affordable prices. Meat, milk and dairy products are produced to European standards. Fruit and vegetables are safe to consume with standard washing before use. In general, as in every other European country, all food and drink bought at regular points of sale is safe to consume.

Communication

Most public places in Serbia have free WiFi hot-spots, including hotels, hostels, cafes, and restaurants.
