The only people you should be warry of, I'm sorry to say it, but it's the truth, are the Romani people. Other than that, Serbs are very well behaved and it is not a common occurence to rob, mug, assault or anything of that nature. I feel safe even after midnight.

I feel like it's kind of a safe city I walked alone in the streets alot Sometimes i felt a little worried but nothing ever has happened to me I'm only worried of drunk people to do something and that's it

Belgrade is a strange mix of high level of corruption in institutions and kindness of strangers in the street, with a possibility of someone taking your wallet in public transportation but also very low level of anyone ever breaking into your home..

generally safe. there are criminals (as almost everywhere) but they mind their owns businesses. it is possible that you will be cat called if you walk past construction site, but people are overall very hostile, welcoming and nice

Overall its a pretty safe city, but as anywhere you should be careful when you run into someone clearly drunk or someone who is looking for a reason for a fight, to stay away. Other than there shouldn’t be any concerns

As a young woman in her 20s, I was alone in Belgrade during my trip for 5 days. I usually went outside at night, and there were many other women. There was no problem with walking at night. However, be careful with your things being stolen. I had a backpack and my wallet inside of that got stolen at Trg Slavija.

I felt safe walking even at night as a woman. There were many young women who were around my age, on a walk with their friends, pets etc at night and at parks. The cuisine is usually a mix of Ottoman and Italian, not very diverse as a Turkish person. The people were usually kind! My wallet got stolen at Trg Slavija Mc Donald’s tho, I don’t recommend wearing backpacks. The city is small, walkable distance.

I can't recommend Belgrade enough! While to some Europeans, the city might feel shabby due to it's poor maintenance (corruption is bad here), yet, it was the safest city I ever visited. It has a lot to offer in terms of sightseeing and gastronomical tourism. Also, the prices are insanely low and perfect for budget travellers 😇
