Where to stay in Belgrade?

Belgrade (meaning White City) is the capital of Serbia and with its 1.7 million population, it is also the largest city in the country. The tourism potential of Belgrade is recently discovered and the city is becoming a popular tourist destination fast.

Belgrade is famous with its colorful night life. Belgrade night life is not only lively and colorful, it is also very friendly. Bars, night clubs, shows, casinos and restaurants fill the city nights but the most popular clubs are on the river boats. Belgrade casinos and night clubs draws tonnes of tourists from all around the world but especially from Europe.

In this post we will briefly guide you on where to stay in Belgrade. We will give some Belgrade hotel recommendations at the end but first introduce the popular neighborhoods in Belgrade to accommodate.

As you can see in the below Belgrade map, the city is located on the plateau where Sava and Danube rivers intersects. The historic center of Belgrade is on the river shores and is called Stari Grad (old town). This is the center of tourism and as a tourist most interesting places for you would be here.

The Belgrade city center is composed of Stari Grad, Vracar and Savski Venac Neighborhoods. We will recommend you to stay in the city center or at least just right next to it. You can take an airport shuttle from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport and you do not need to take a lot of taxis (taxi scams are fairly common in Belgrade).

Belgrade map and Belgrade's neighborhoods. Old town is the tourism center and with Vracar and Savski Venac, it forms the city center. Try to find a Belgrade hotel in these neighbourhoods
If you want to stay in a Belgrade hotel near Belgrade night life then look for a hotel near Terazije Square in the old town. But since the night life shifts to riverside in the summer, you can look for a hotel near river in this season. For this, Zemun is a very good location to stay in the summer months and you can simply take a boat on the river to the center and night life.  Many people think Zemun is a part of New Belgrade (Novi Belgrad) but this riverside neighborhood is a seperate area. If you would like to stay here, you can take a look at Belgrade Zemun hotels pages.

If you do not know Belgrade well (especially if this is your first time in Belgrade), try to find a hotel in Stari Grad or Zemun. In Srari Grad, you will find popular but relatively expensive hotels near Terazije Square. If you are looking for central but cheap Belgrade hotels, take a look at the train station area.
