Key takeaways
Serbia punches above its size as a travel destination, with Belgrade's electrifying nightlife and fortress history, Novi Sad's architectural charm and EXIT Festival, the ski slopes of Kopaonik, the monasteries of Frushka Gora and the dramatic Djerdap Gorge on the Danube. Telekom Srbija MTS leads on 5G coverage across Belgrade and major cities, with Yettel (formerly Telenor Serbia) a strong urban competitor and A1 Serbia a solid third option. A Roamix eSIM activates at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) without a SIM kiosk stop. Download offline maps for Tara National Park, the Uvac Canyon and mountain resort roads where signal fades.
- Telekom Srbija MTS leads on 5G and overall coverage across Serbia including Belgrade, Novi Sad and Kopaonik ski resort.
- A Roamix eSIM activates at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) on arrival, skipping the operator SIM shop.
- Serbia is not in the EU, so EU Roam Like At Home does not apply. Carrier roaming from EU SIMs can be expensive.
- The RSD Serbian Dinar is the currency. Cards are widely accepted in Belgrade but cash is needed in rural areas, mountain resorts and smaller restaurants.
- Download offline maps before Tara National Park, the Uvac Canyon meanders and mountain driving routes, where coverage drops sharply off the main highways.
Best way to get data in Serbia
For most visitors to Serbia, a Roamix eSIM is the most cost-effective option, especially given that EU Roam Like At Home does not apply in Serbia, making carrier roaming unexpectedly expensive for European visitors.
| Option | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Roamix eSIMRecommended | Best for: Most travellers | Instant activation on MTS, Yettel or A1 on arrival, no roaming bill and nothing physical to collect at the airport. |
| Local physical SIM | Best for: Long stays needing a Serbian number | Available at BEG airport and operator shops throughout Belgrade. Requires passport ID. |
| Pocket wifi | Best for: Groups sharing data | Available for rent in Belgrade. Useful for mountain trips where multiple devices need connectivity. |
| Carrier roaming | Best for: Very short trips with no setup time | Serbia is outside the EU, so EU Roam Like At Home does not apply. European carrier roaming in Serbia can be expensive. |
Wifi is widely available in Belgrade hotels and cafes and is generally fast. Away from cities, mountain lodge wifi is inconsistent. Mobile data on MTS or Yettel 5G is more reliable for critical work in Belgrade.

How to set up a Serbia eSIM
A Roamix Serbia eSIM is best installed over wifi before departure. It activates automatically on MTS, Yettel or A1 when you land at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, so you arrive already connected.
- 1
Buy your plan on the Roamix Serbia eSIM page before departure.
- 2
Scan the QR code or tap to install the eSIM over wifi at home.
- 3
Label it Roamix and keep your home SIM as primary for calls and texts.
- 4
Enable data roaming for the Roamix line only.
- 5
Land at BEG and the eSIM connects automatically to a local network.
Works on eSIM-capable phones including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. The phone must be carrier unlocked.
Roamix sets the correct APN automatically on most devices. If data does not start after landing, apply the APN from your order and toggle airplane mode once.
No data on arrival usually means data roaming is off for the Roamix line. Check Settings, select the network manually if needed, and restart.
Visa and entry for Serbia
Serbia has a generous visa-free policy, with citizens of the EU, USA, Canada, UK, Australia and many other countries able to enter without a visa for up to 90 days. Serbia is not in the Schengen Area and has separate border controls, so a passport stamp is required on entry.
- Visa on arrival
- Available
- eVisa or ETA
- Some nationalities that require a visa for Serbia can apply for an e-visa at evisa.mfa.gov.rs. Check your specific nationality's requirements. EU citizens with national ID cards can also enter Serbia.
- Passport validity
- Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned entry date.
- Onward ticket
- Proof of accommodation and onward travel may be requested at the border. Keep your hotel booking and return flight confirmation accessible on your phone.

Entry rules change. Confirm current requirements at evisa.mfa.gov.rs or with the Serbian Embassy before booking.
When you land in Serbia

How people message here
Serbians use Viber heavily in addition to WhatsApp, and Instagram and Facebook Messenger are popular for social communication. Viber is arguably the most widely used messaging app among Serbs for both local and international calls.
Do you need a local number?
A local Serbian number is rarely needed for short visits. Most tourist services, restaurants and taxi apps work with your existing number via WhatsApp or Viber.
Keep your home SIM active for SMS two-factor authentication. Download Viber alongside WhatsApp for the best local communication compatibility on your Roamix data.

Getting around Serbia
Belgrade has good public transport including trams, buses and the growing BG:VOZ suburban rail. Inter-city travel uses a mix of buses (the most common option), trains and occasional domestic flights. Rental cars are ideal for Kopaonik, Tara and the Djerdap Gorge road trip.
Belgrade public transit
Trams, trolleys and buses cover Belgrade well. BusPlus tap-to-pay cards work across the network. Use Roamix data for the Moovit app to plan routes and check live arrivals.
CarGo and YAllow ride-hailing
CarGo and YAllow are Serbia's dominant taxi apps, available in Belgrade and Novi Sad. A live Roamix data connection is required to book, track and pay. These apps avoid the overcharging common with street taxis.
Bus (inter-city)
Serbia has an extensive bus network from the Belgrade BAS bus station to all major towns and national parks. Use Roamix data to check schedules on the BAS Prevoz website and buy tickets online in advance.
Rental car
Essential for Kopaonik ski trips, Tara National Park and the Djerdap Gorge drive. International rental agencies operate from BEG. Use Roamix data for live navigation and download offline maps for mountain routes before departure.
Use CarGo or YAllow apps rather than street taxis from BEG airport, as fixed-price apps avoid overcharging. In Belgrade, trams and the BG:VOZ rail are the most reliable public transit options. For inter-city buses, the BAS Prevoz app allows online booking with your Roamix data.
Money and payments in Serbia
Serbia uses the RSD Serbian Dinar. Cards are widely accepted in Belgrade restaurants, hotels and larger shops. Cash is essential for smaller cafes, markets, rural petrol stations and any mountain resort outside the ski resort core.
- Cards and cash
- Belgrade is card-friendly and contactless works well in the city. Outside the capital, carry RSD cash as many rural restaurants and guesthouses are cash only.
- ATMs
- ATMs are widely available throughout Belgrade and in major Serbian cities. Raiffeisen, Erste, UniCredit and Komercijalna Banka ATMs accept international cards. Choose to be charged in RSD to avoid dynamic conversion fees.
- Payment apps
- Apple Pay is accepted at larger retailers in Belgrade. Google Pay has growing acceptance. Local payment apps require a Serbian bank account.
- Tipping
- Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory. Rounding up the bill or leaving 10 percent at restaurants is customary. Taxi drivers appreciate rounding to the nearest 50 or 100 RSD.
Daily budget
Serbia is excellent value by European standards. Budget travellers spend around 2,500 to 4,000 RSD per day. Mid-range including accommodation and dining runs 6,000 to 12,000 RSD.
Local tips for Serbia
- Language
- Serbian is the official language, written in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts. English is widely spoken in Belgrade among younger people and in the tourist sector. In smaller towns and villages, knowledge of Serbian or a translation app is useful.
- Food
- Serbian food is hearty and meat-centric. Cevapi (grilled minced meat sausages), pljeskavica (a burger-like grilled meat patty), sarma (cabbage rolls) and roast lamb are staples. The kafana tavern culture in Skadarlija is the essential Belgrade food experience. Rakija (fruit brandy) is the national drink.
- Plugs
- 220V, Type C and F plugs
Apps worth having
CarGo
rideshare
The most popular ride-hailing app in Belgrade. Fixed transparent pricing avoids street taxi overcharging, especially from BEG airport.
Moovit
transit
Real-time Belgrade public transit navigation covering trams, buses and trolleybuses with live arrivals and route planning.
Google Maps
navigation
Primary navigation tool for Serbia. Download offline packs for Kopaonik, Tara and Djerdap before leaving Belgrade.
Safety and health in Serbia
Serbia is a safe destination with a low violent crime rate. Belgrade's nightlife areas including the splavovi river clubs are lively but generally safe. The main risks are traffic (Serbian driving is aggressive by Western European standards) and petty theft in crowded markets.
- Stay reachable
- Keep your Roamix eSIM active to navigate Belgrade's complex one-way street system with a CarGo app connection. In mountain areas, share your GPS location with a contact before hiking and download offline maps for emergency use.
- Health
- Healthcare in Belgrade is adequate for most needs. EU citizens with a European Health Insurance Card have some entitlements. Non-EU visitors should carry travel health insurance. Pharmacies in Belgrade are well stocked.
- Tap water
- Tap water is safe to drink throughout Serbia. Mountain spring water in Tara and Kopaonik is generally clean but best filtered or boiled to be certain.
Networks and coverage in Serbia
Serbia's three-operator market delivers competitive mobile connectivity with Telekom Srbija MTS as the national leader on 5G deployment and population coverage. Yettel (formerly Telenor Serbia) provides strong 5G competition in Belgrade and major cities. A1 Serbia covers the main urban centres with solid 4G LTE. All three operators reach Serbia's major tourist corridors including the E75 highway, Novi Sad and the Kopaonik mountain region. A Roamix eSIM connects to the strongest available network on arrival at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.

Serbia's mountain regions, including Tara National Park, the Uvac Canyon area, the Zlatibor highlands and remote villages in Sumadija and southern Serbia, can have limited to no signal. The Djerdap Gorge boat routes on the Danube are partially off-grid. Download offline maps before national park and mountain excursions. Serbian operators use Band 3 (1800 MHz) and Band 20 (800 MHz) LTE plus n78 (3500 MHz) for 5G, compatible with iPhone 12 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and other recent unlocked 5G devices.
Where to go in Serbia
Serbia rewards curious travellers willing to go beyond the surface. Belgrade's fortress history and legendary nightlife, Novi Sad's Habsburg architecture and EXIT Festival, Kopaonik's ski slopes and the gorge-carved landscapes of Djerdap combine to make one of Europe's most underrated destinations. A Roamix eSIM keeps navigation, venue tickets and communication working from the city to the mountains.
Best time to visit
