Health & precautions
Vaccinations
- None required
- Up-to-date routine vaccines recommended
Drinking water
Tap water drinkable and of good quality in the cities, notably in Belgrade.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes in summer near the Danube and the Sava, a nuisance but no tropical diseases.
General notes
Decent care in cities. The European Health Insurance Card is NOT valid (non-EU): get travel insurance. Air pollution peaks in Belgrade in winter.
Women travelers
Generally safe, including for solo women. Standard vigilance in nightlife areas in the evening.
LGBTQ+ travelers
Homosexuality legal and Belgrade Pride held, but society still conservative: discretion advised outside the capital's LGBTQ+ venues.
