Belgrade - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
Yes for all, especially singles and couples without children. There are a ton of things to do from going to the theater (some plays have English supertitles), ballet or cinema (movies are shown in their original language with Serbian subtitles except for children's movies which may be dubbed), to traveling outside of Belgrade to visit thermal baths or wineries. I'm sure families have a good time as well but I don't have any direct experience with living here with children. Families seem generally happy, however. - Oct 2024

For anyone, but singles are bound to love it. Belgrade is the party place! - Jan 2019
Good for everyone. Single people who like to party will have an absolute blast. It's good for families because there is much to do and see. And it's safe. Easy. - Dec 2018
I think it's a great city for everyone. As a single woman I loved it. My friends with kids also loved it. It's more of a family post than I expected, considering the fact that Belgrade touts itself as a great nightlife destination in Europe. Everyone can find something to do in Belgrade. - Sep 2015
Yes, yes and yes. This city is awesome for all because it has so much to offer to everyone. It is a hidden gem - not esthetically speaking - but as far as quality of life. - Aug 2015
This is a great city for all of the above, but the U.S. embassy community has skewed towards families with young kids the last few years, and only a few singles or couples without kids at post. That said, for people that like to go out Belgrade has fantastic nightlife and clubs, good restaurants, and also plenty for kids to do especially in the summer when you can be outside. In winter, even kids' places can get smoky inside. - Aug 2015
Belgrade is good for all demographics. Plenty of things to do for the singles/couples crowd - restaurants, nightlife, cultural events, museums, etc. For families, the local culture is extremely child-friendly, so there are numerous indoor/outdoor playgrounds, arts and crafts, etc. - Aug 2014
Great for all! Apparently some of the best nightlife and clubbing in Europe for singles and those that like a good party, fantastic restaurant scene for everyone, excellent parks for families, most people we know here are very happy regardless of family demographics. - Aug 2013

Everyone will get along ok, but singles may enjoy this city the most. - Nov 2010
It's good for everyone. The only problem I've ever seen is American wives who resent the care that Serbian women put into their image. - Jun 2010
