Rules in force · 3
- Serbia ↗Serbia is outside the EU and Schengen area and sets its own entry rules; check the official requirements for your passport.
- Serbia ↗Foreign visitors must be registered with the police after arrival; hotels do it, but in private rentals ask your host to confirm.
- Serbia ↗Serbia does not accept entry into Kosovo from a third country as entry into Serbia. If you plan to cross between Kosovo and Serbia, check your government's advice for both before you book.
Belgrade is the airport, the capital and the base. Its sights sit on the ridge above the Sava and Danube, and Novi Sad is a short train away, so changing hotels for it wastes the morning. Keep the Belgrade room, carry a day pack, and come back to the same bed.
