Things to note when going to Serbia

1. The locals definitely speak “Serbian”! However, young people can understand English. If your English is not good, it is recommended to download some translation apps on your mobile phone, such as Youdao Translate, Google Translate, etc.!

2. When traveling to Serbia, it is recommended to exchange for Euros or US dollars at home. Euros are better, after all, it is Central Europe. You can't spend it if you bring RMB there, and they won't accept it. Moreover, UnionPay ATMs are not easy to find. Don’t take chances and withdraw cash there. It will be very troublesome in an emergency.

3. When traveling to Serbia, tipping is not mandatory. It’s okay if you don’t give it. Of course, you have to be careful. If you don't want to tip, just give him the change. If it's a few hundred dollars more, they may not give you change and think it's a tip from you.

4. Theft cases often occur in crowded places such as Belgrade Railway Station. Please be vigilant when passing by or playing nearby and keep your belongings and passports safe.
