What is the best food tour in Belgrade for first-time visitors?
The Street Food and Drinks Tour with 20+ Tastings is our top pick. With a 4.9-star rating, it offers the widest variety of authentic Serbian flavors—from ćevapi and ajvar to rakija—in a single, well-paced Belgrade food tour, perfect for an introductory culinary crash course.
Are Belgrade pub crawls and nightlife tours worth it?
Absolutely! Belgrade is famous for its vibrant nightlife. A guided pub crawl like the Chuggalong experience provides safe access to the best ‘splav’ raft clubs and hidden bars with exclusive drink deals, which can be hard to find on your own. It’s a great way to meet people and experience the legendary Belgrade nightlife tours.
What should I know before a rakija tasting?
Rakija is a strong fruit brandy (usually 40%+ alcohol). It’s meant to be sipped slowly, not shot. It’s often served with meze (small appetizers) to accompany it. On tours like the truffle hunting day trip or street food tour, you’ll taste it properly with guidance.
Can I visit Serbian wineries on a day trip from Belgrade?
Yes! The region of Sremski Karlovci, famous for its Bermet wine, is a popular day trip. Many full-day tours from Belgrade, like the Novi Sad & Sremski Karlovci tour, include wine tastings. For a deeper dive, consider specialized Serbian wine tours from the city.
