| Beautiful Serbia |
There are two main
reasons for European tourist to visit Belgrade and Serbia:
1. it’s unbelievably
beautiful and charming
2. it’s ridiculously
affordable.
We will mention
something about second reason
Accommodation
The average wage in Serbia is
around 300 Euros a month. It is obvious that the accommodation costs can’t
exceed that amount. For a decent one-bedroom apartment in center of Belgrade
you should pay as much as 220 Euros a month. Outside of the center the prices
of accommodation is even cheaper. The average monthly utilities would not
exceed 80 Euros which includes electric, heating and water. The visitors can
rent a private apartment for shorter or longer stay for just of 20 euros per person per day.  |

Eating
Out
In Serbia you will get
for very cheap prices a lot of good food. Eating out is very affordable. Serbians
love having “burek” and other products from bakery with yogurt for breakfast,
which costs no more than 2 euro for both. Restaurants, taverns and bars are not
only a local’s favorite place for socializing but are also very easy on the
pocket.

| Grill in Serbia |
A nice three course meal in an inexpensive restaurant will cost you 10-15
euro. For that price you will get salad, soup, bread, main meal with lot of
meat and desert. A glass of wine is up to 2 euros, bottle of beer is 0,6 to 1,5
euro depending of place where you buy it. Of course there are very expensive fancy restaurants
but they are not for this text.

Transportation
Belgrade has several
options of transportation means to choose from. One-way tickets in public
transport usually cost around 0,8 euro. If you’re staying for a while a monthly
pass costs around 25€.
Taxis in Serbia are
also very affordable, for a 15-minute drive they will charge you no more than 8-10
Euros. To rent a car you will pay from 20 to 30 euros depending
of class of the car and length of lease.
You can even buy
vehicle – used vehicle, depending how old is, can be 1200 to 1500 euros. The
cost of running a car by European standards is fairly cheap, liter of gasoline is
around 1 €.

| Night Life in Belgrade |
People in Belgrade
love to have long coffee breaks with friends. Price of coffee is 1 euro. They also
love things like visit the cinema, which costs around 3 to 5 euros, or visit
one of many theatres in Belgrade for little higher prices of 5 to 10 euros. Belgrade’s
residents know how to parting. The clubs
and bars (splavovi) are full every night
and on Fridays and Saturdays it’s almost impossible to find a seat. If you want
to experience the Belgrade’s nightlife you should budget around 10-20 euros per
night. It worth every penny, believe me.
In Belgrade and throughout Serbia it is very easy to find accommodation and very cheaply for many tourists coming from Europe and around the world. Everywhere to offer quality traditional food and drink and the fun is inevitable thing, because without it, it is pointless.
