Where to stay in Belgrade

Pick the area first, then the hotel. The city is compact, but every part has its own rhythm, and that shapes your trip more than the room does.

Which area suits you

Short and honest, from people who live here.

Stari Grad
Lively
First visit, short stay
Knez Mihailova, Kalemegdan and Republic Square are all on foot. The busiest and priciest part of town, and the easiest.

Dorćol
Some noise
Cafés, bars, longer stays
Old streets running down to the Danube, with the best coffee and cocktail bars in the city. Lots of apartments, few big hotels.

Vračar
Quiet
Quiet nights, couples, families
Leafy residential streets around the Church of Saint Sava. Twenty minutes on foot to the centre, and you sleep well.

Savamala & Waterfront
Some noise
River views, nightlife
The new riverside promenade and the city’s top luxury hotel, next to the older Savamala clubs. Uphill walk to the old town.

New Belgrade
Quiet
Business trips, concerts at the Arena
Wide boulevards, big business hotels and easy parking. Ten minutes by taxi to the old town, and close to the airport road.

Zemun
Quiet
Slow pace, river restaurants
A small town of its own on the Danube, with fish restaurants on the quay. Charming, but plan on taxis for the centre.

No hotel pays to be on this list.

A small, quiet boutique hotel in a 1920s villa, a few minutes from the Church of Saint Sava.

The small things nobody mentions until you arrive.

Registration: Your hotel or host registers you with the police on arrival; all you need is your passport. Staying with friends? You have to register yourself within 24 hours.
City tax: Charged per night and usually already in the room rate. With apartments, ask before you book.
When to book: For New Year, Beer Fest in August and big concerts at the Arena, book a month ahead. The rest of the year a few days is enough.
Apartments: Dorćol and Vračar have the best apartments. Check for a lift; many older buildings do not have one.

Our team picks and books a place that fits your budget and plans. For the ride in from the airport we use Socrat Road Star.
