Question

What is the currency used in Serbia?

Answer

The currency is the dinar. You can exchange your euros / dollars in any “Menjacnica” (exchange office).

Question

Can I use my Credit Card?

Answer

You can use your Credit card in most of the places. However, I’ll highly recommend to bring cash for taxis or for some restaurants / bars which are cash only.

Question

Do I need to give tips in restaurants / bars?

Answer

Tips policy is not the same as it is in the US. You can give few “dinar” as a tip when having you lunch or dinner but it’s not mandatory.

Question

What kind of taxi can I use in Belgrade?

Answer

Local cabs. Once you land, you can easily grab a cab to wherever you want to go. It's not that expensive, maximum that it should cost is 2000 (20 USD) to the city centre, potentially even less - I would recommend either PINK taxi, NAXI taxi, or GOLD taxi. Also, at night or at any point during the day, it is SUPER easy to hail a cab while on the street. Belgrade is full of them. Mind you, Belgrade is very walkable as well. IMPORTANT: Cabs in Serbia FOR THE MOST PART, do NOT take credit cards. There are what we call "wild" cabs in Serbia. Ie. taxi cabs which are not legitimate drivers, and are not registered. They tend to try and rip people off. There shouldn't be too many of those at the airport, but I would still check first. Their plates need to end in "TX" in order to be a registered taxi cab. Please PLEASE check this before getting in a cab.

Question

Can I use Uber in Serbia?

Answer

No, Uber does not exist in Serbia, but here are the options you can use: TAXIFY - It's pretty much like Uber, but for Serbia. Connect your credit card, and you're done. https://taxify.eu/cities/belgrade/ CAR:GO - in case you want to schedule a ride ahead of time and use a credit card. They are also pet friendly, not sure if that makes a difference to anyone. http://appcargo.net/airport/ Yes

Question

Is there any particular restriction in the church?

Answer

Since it is a church, everyone who plans to attend the church wedding needs to be properly dressed - no overly short dresses, no shorts, no exposed shoulders - or they will be asked to cover up or wait outside.

Question

Can I take pictures in the church or use my phone?

Answer

Take pictures, take videos, all is good - but don't talk and hopefully don't have your phone ring :)

Question

Answer

There is NO sitting in Serbian churches . If you become tired, dizzy, or claustrophobic, it is completely OK to step outside mid-ceremony for a quick breath of air.

Question

During the dinner, guests will be able to buy photos

Answer

It’s a Serbian wedding tradition to sell photos to guests during reception and dinner. Photographer assistants will come to the tables and offer you to buy photos of you taken previously. Only cost 180 dinar each (~1.50€) and usually a nice thing to bring back home for memories : ) (Cash only)
