I think it is actually pretty safe city, no big crimes, there is on the other hand some of gypses who are robbing but people usually yell at them so it is rare cases. I have never been sexual assaulted and i have never seen any girl also. There is a looot of people who will protect girls from creeps
Posted: September 12, 2025Safe in general but might not want to walk alone in shady places after midnight. Safe to walk on the streets, everyone will help you because we are like that. Safe to go out and party in general, nice places to go out.
Posted: August 29, 2025Belgrade is usually a good town of you are worried about safety and behavior of people who live in the Belgrade. If you need any help to find a place to go, 90% of citizens at the street will gladly help you with that. Also, we have i would said a lot of tourists for not that popular European country. :)

It's pretty much safe - I live around center, never had any problems and I'm not scared to walk back home at 3pm, 3am, 7am :) Streets are calm, even if somebody passes they are probably just walking home as well

Generally speaking it's a pretty safe city. Couple of things I'd watch out for pickpocketers in buses and busy bus stops. I wouldn't be that comfortable walking alone late at night. If you need some sort of help in the city feel free to reach out to a stranger, usually people are kind and willing to help.

During my stay at Belgrade I felt safe. I met really kind and interesting people. Serbs love dogs, I saw them everywhere. Public transport is free now, so we drove everywhere. I slept at Different Belgrade camping, about 15 km from the city centre. If you're vegan like me, you can easily find Asian vegan options.
