Local Picks - Things To Do in Belgrade

Each listing here is handpicked by a team of Belgrade local experts, people who actually live here and know what’s worth your time. Not some algorithm or paid sponsor, but real recommendations based on firsthand experience.

You’ll find activities and places that show different sides of Belgrade, from chilling in leafy Vračar parks to diving into cozy kafanas in Skadarlija. The picks reflect the seasons too: in spring, locals head to Ada Ciganlija for a day outdoors, while winter calls for warming rakija in smaller, tucked-away bars.

One tip: if you want to feel like you’re really in Belgrade, explore the neighborhoods beyond the usual parts of the city center. Places like Dorćol and Zemun have their own personalities and experiences. This is where our local picks really come alive, suggestions you won’t find in typical guidebooks.

One tip from a local

If you’re spending time in Belgrade, try taking an evening stroll through Zemun. It’s quieter than the city center and has its own vibe, with narrow streets by the Danube and some great little fish restaurants that locals swear by. The atmosphere changes with the seasons,summer evenings can be pleasantly warm by the river, while winter invites you to pop into cozy kafanas that aren’t overrun by tourists. It’s also easy to reach by public transport, so you get a fresh side of Belgrade without much effort.
