What to prepare to visit Belgrade, Serbia

by - 8:50 PM



Got a chance to visit the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade on mid august 2016 gave me a whole new experience to see the other part of the European world. Never thought i'm going to visit this city (even this country), but a phone call from my uncle leads me to a completely different decision. Have you imagined what Serbia looks like?

Interested to visit this city? here some tips and trick for you who holds Indonesian Passport and planning to go there:

1. Preparing the Visa
a bit afraid after reading some experiences when some people couldn't enter the country without Serbian Visa, i asked the Embassy of Serbia about the procedure to enter the country with Schengen Visa. Luckily, we can enter this country with Schengen Visa with two condition: it has to be Multiple Visit Schengen Visa, and you have to arrived and go through the immigration process in one of Schengen Country before flying to Serbia. 

IMPORTANT! you couldn't go directly to Serbia OR transit in one of Schengen country without going through their immigration process. That's why you have to hold a multiple visit schengen visa.

or else, you can just apply for Serbian Visa only :)

2. Language
it's pretty hard to speak using foreign language (read: english) with elderly, but the youth could speak english fluently.

3. Culture
Speaking of the culture, since this country has a pretty chaotic past due to war, all i can think is they're having a cold gesture and a pretty scary appearance. Well, apparently i shouldn't overthink. The people are very nice (both the look and the gesture), and they're having a nice building everywhere where they leave the exterior architecture as it is (after the bombing), where they re-make the interior as modern as i saw in another big city!

Well, that's a little bit of my experience i could share about preparation going to Serbia. Will share the details in another post. Stay tune!
