About ULTIMATE Belgrade City Guide

ULTIMATE Belgrade City Guide is an independent guide for visitors to Belgrade, Serbia. We publish 18 curated lists: restaurants, cafés, bars, nightlife, hotels, attractions, art & museums, cinema, parks & ada, waterfront, zemun, fitness + spa, medical, shopping, luxury, property, transport and motoring. Together they cover the old town, the neighbourhoods, New Belgrade and the new Belgrade Waterfront.

How we choose

Our lists draw on respected guides, such as the MICHELIN Guide Belgrade, together with local knowledge and recent reviews. We look for quality, character and a genuine sense of Belgrade, from MICHELIN-starred dining rooms to old-school kafanas.

Before you go

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change often, especially for the river clubs and restaurants in summer. Please check directly with each venue before you visit, and book ahead for popular restaurants. Serbia uses the dinar (RSD); our price guides run from € (budget) to €€€€ (luxury).

For venues

Run a venue in Belgrade and spotted something to update? We review our lists regularly and welcome corrections.
