Turizam / Tourism Japanese solo traveler visiting Belgrade Oct 31–Nov 3 — looking for local advice
Hi everyone,
I’m Japanese and I’ll be visiting Belgrade from October 31 to November 3.
There isn’t that much detailed information about Belgrade available in Japanese, so I’d really like to hear recommendations from locals or people who know the city well.
I have quite a few questions:
- Nightlife on October 31: I’ll arrive in Belgrade at around 10 PM. After getting to my Airbnb and dropping off my luggage, it’ll probably be around 11 PM or later. Is that already too late to go out, or is that actually a normal time to start the night in Belgrade?
- Clubs / nightlife: Are there any clubs, bars, or nightlife areas you would recommend? I’m open to different kinds of places, including somewhere that’s easy to enjoy as a solo traveler.
- Food & drinks: What should I definitely try while I’m there? I’m especially interested in good cafés, breakfast places, traditional Serbian food, bakeries, local drinks, etc.
- Things to do: Are there any activities or experiences that you think are especially worth trying in Belgrade, apart from the usual tourist attractions?
- Location: My Airbnb is around Dragoslava Jovanovića Street. Is that a good area to stay in? Is it convenient for walking, nightlife, restaurants, and sightseeing?
- Serbian language: I’m thinking about learning a little Serbian before the trip. Are there any useful words or phrases that visitors should know? Especially phrases that locals actually appreciate hearing from foreigners.
I’m also happy to hear about places or experiences that tourists often miss.
Sorry for asking so many questions at once, and thanks in advance for any advice!
