Find Cheap Flights to Serbia and book your plane tickets at the best prices

Winter is ideal for skiing in Kopaonik and Zlatibor. Although flights can be more expensive around the holidays, January and February often offer good deals.

Spring (April-May) brings pleasant weather, ideal for exploring cities and national parks. It's an excellent time to book Serbia plane tickets, avoiding the summer crowds.

Summer is peak season, especially in July and August, due to festivals (like EXIT) and warm weather. Expect higher prices for Serbia plane tickets in the summer, but also a vibrant atmosphere.

Autumn (September-October) is considered by many to be the best time. The weather is pleasant, the landscapes are superb, and prices for cheap flights to Serbia begin to drop. It is the wine harvest season.

Romanian citizens do not need a visa to travel to Serbia for stays of up to 90 days within six months. You can enter only with a valid identity card or passport. Make sure the document is valid for the entire duration of your stay. It is important to register with the local police within the first 24 hours of arrival, if you are not staying at a hotel (which does this automatically). Keep proof of registration, as it may be requested upon leaving the country. Although a visa is not required, it is good to have travel medical insurance handy, just in case. Serbia is not part of the EU, so you do not benefit from the European Health Card. Always check the latest regulations before buying Serbia plane tickets.

In Belgrade, public transport includes trams, trolleybuses, and buses; the system is efficient and affordable. You can use the BusPlus card for payments. Between cities, trains are an option, but intercity buses are often faster and more reliable, connecting major cities like Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš well. Bus companies offer regular and comfortable services. If you rent a car, the highway network is generally good, but be prepared for road tolls (payable in Serbian Dinars or Euros, but Dinars are more advantageous). Taxis are available, but use reliable apps or companies to avoid inflated prices. From Belgrade airport, the A1 bus or fixed-rate taxis are the best options to reach the center.

In Belgrade and Novi Sad, you will find a wide range of accommodation, from luxury international hotels to boutique guesthouses and self-catering apartments. Rented apartments often offer the best value for money and allow you to live like a local. Central areas, such as Stari Grad in Belgrade, are popular, but neighborhoods like Vračar offer a quieter and more authentic atmosphere. Prices are usually lower than in Western European capitals. Book in advance, especially if you plan a visit during major festivals (such as the EXIT Festival in Novi Sad). For a unique experience, look for rural accommodation or ethno-villages, which offer insight into traditional Serbian life. Check reviews before booking.

Serbia is generally a safe country for tourists. Petty crimes, such as pickpocketing, can occur in crowded areas of Belgrade, so be vigilant. Avoid exchanging money on the street. Serbians are known for their hospitality. Handshakes are standard upon meeting. When invited to someone's home, it is polite to bring a small gift. Smoking is still widespread in bars and restaurants, although there are non-smoking areas. Tipping (about 10%) is expected in restaurants and for taxi services. Do not discuss sensitive political topics with locals, especially if you are not familiar with the historical context. Respect church traditions if visiting places of worship.

Serbian cuisine is robust, based on meat and generous portions. Don't leave without trying Ćevapi (small minced meat sausages), Pljeskavica (a kind of Serbian burger), and Sarma (stuffed cabbage rolls). Dishes are often accompanied by fresh salads and bread. Rakija, a local spirit, is offered as a sign of hospitality. Restaurants called 'kafana' offer a traditional atmosphere and live music. Food prices are reasonable, especially outside the main tourist areas. If you are vegetarian, options may be limited, but local markets offer excellent fruits and vegetables. Street food, especially grilled meat, is a quick and cheap option. Don't forget to taste the various Serbian pastries.

To avoid tourist traps, head to lesser-known neighborhoods in Belgrade, such as Dorćol, full of cafes and vintage shops. Instead of eating in crowded pedestrian areas, look for hidden 'kafane' on side streets. Learn a few basic words in Serbian, such as 'Dobar dan' (Good day) and 'Hvala' (Thank you); locals will greatly appreciate the effort. Use public transport or walk to discover the charm of the cities, rather than relying on taxis. Visit local markets (such as Kalenić Market in Belgrade) to buy fresh produce and feel the pulse of daily life. Try to catch a local sporting event; Serbians are very passionate about sports. For a perfect photo, go to sunset on Gardoš Hill in Zemun, where you have a superb view of the Danube and old Belgrade. TICKETS.COM.RO wishes you a journey full of excitement!
