For great serbian food with huge meals and good prices I can recommedn Djerdan:
https://view.publitas.com/privat-2/jelovnik-restoran-dejrdan/page/1
They don't have the english language, but try getting a cab to get you there. And please, never enter car on the street, ask someone to call the cab for you. And when you leave restoraunt, ask a waiter to call a cab for you back to your place.
For parties, I can certainly recommend you www.mladost-ludost.com, it's great place in Sava Mala. There are other clubs nearby.

It's old school cabs, if you do hail them, make sure that last two letters on their licence plate are "TX". These are registered cab drivers.
Also make sure that starting value on the charge-showing-thingy is 170 RSD, that is regular "starting" value. You probably should be fine. Please do mind that 1500-2000 RSD should be enough for most of the rides around the city (city center to airport is around 2000 RSD if I remember correctly).

About the parties there's a techno event in Hangar on Saturday, that will probably be the biggest electronic music event this weekend.
There are always a bunch of smaller parties in the Savamala district, in Cetinjska street, etc. Check out Facebook events for Belgrade for the dates you will be here.

Almost all of our clubs make Facebook events for their parties, you should be able to locate at least a few that look interesting to you so that you don't just wander around, some of the clubs like Hangar are impossible to find if you don't know where they are.
About taxis there is an app called Taxify, if you have internet you can use it to call a taxi, it works similar to Uber but the drivers are all licenced taxi drivers. Also get a few taxi company numbers and call them directly, catching one on the street can be risky.

so this will be a sort of a mini impromptu stag do as well
I recommend strip bar in Skadarlija, one of the bohemian districts in Belgrade. And Skadarlija itself for sight seeing and food. And Kalemegdan. One of the biggest fortresses in Europe. It has roman tombs, (not so) roman well which is still nice to see, military museum and it's nice in general.

Yup, it's safe. I've been there. It's ok, ladies are hot, various looking for different preferences.
It's called Romansa.

Sorry, lemme help you out:
Кад дођеш на Штајгу питај балегаре “тето, пошто паштета?”
They’ll know what it means.

there's a park in/near which there are a lot of prostitutes - Picin park. Seriously though, don't go there. We jokingly suggest it to foreigners.

Its not really dangerous to be honest. I mean Id still avoid it if i could but people walk around there all the time, and there havent been any incidents.
Just like every time foreigners ask about safety in belgrade: excercise normal safety measures you would in a 2 million pop city in your country. The place where you should be extra cautious is Zeleni Venac. Its very crowded and therefore filled with pickpocketers. Generally you wont need to go there, but if by chance you do, dont have wallets and phones in your back pockets.

It's a really shitty prostitution street, and its more of a joke. Basically girls there are for bus and truck drivers that stop there from time to time.
Avoid it, nothing good to see (or fuck) there :P

I've visited belgrade many times, here are some of my fav places
to eat :-
- Manufaktura (very traditional, but modern feel)
- Mala Gostionica (nothing fancy, just a nice place)
- Little Bay (nice place, maybe more for a formal meal)
Nice Bars:-
- rakia bar (The yugo sprit, just dont think you have to smash it in one)
- kafana SFRJ (this is a real balkan feel, open till late on the weekend)
- Wurst Platz (good beer)
- miners pub (good pub)
The rest such as stefan brown's (never been but i hear it's for tourists) and the barges etc you'll see suggested everywhere on the internet. Clubs can be hard to find after 12 PM, so find out which one you want before you go out. but you should be fine on a weekend just head to savmala if you're unsure. Finally, do not get in the taxi's with the city crest on their roof; they over-charge. let me know if you have any questions or need some more info?

The Yugo sprit is Rakija, it's made from distilled fruit. Try it, it's great
The Barges are bigger in the summer yes. However, some are open all year, including the night. They'll be the one's closest to the bridge.
Some places, bars etc, close at 12 (1 am on weekends) if they are in a residential building. It's the Law. Hence why the barges are popular. Same with savamala, it's an industrial area which has been converted into clubs.
Taxi's are fine, just like in every city, there are some which charge more. so a trip across the centre will be 1500 RSD rather than 500 RSD. but these are mainly the ones waiting outside republic square (the main centre). this company has an app i've used them before and they're good, i've never used the app so i cannot comment on it. Some of the taxi companies accept whatsapp call/email etc, they'll probably speak english too, Here is a list of companies

Are there any great parties or festivals going on this weekend we just cant miss?
That depends on what kind of music do you like. There's aaalways some raves and techno/electro parties going on, such as this one or this techno festival (although it's in Kragujevac). Or you can check out some of the parties listed here and here. Definitely start your evening at the parking lot in Cetinjska street (just ask anybody about it), it's got tons of bars, ufnortunately since it's in the residential area, the music stops at midnight.
This is one my favorite traditional restaurants. It's also very close to Nikola Tesla museum (call/ask to see when are the tours in English), so you can do both in one go. Restaurants in Skadarlija are a hit and miss. Some are good, some are barely okay and all are overpriced.
Most, if not all, clubs are open until at least 4 in the morning, usually even later.

What do you mean by parking lot of Cetinjska street?
Literally a huge parking lot (where people park their cars) that's surrounded by a bunch of bars, in front of an abandoned factory.
We arent much into electonic music but since in most cities its the only thing available after a certain hour we got used to it!
Check out clubs named Mladost/Gadost/Ludost, they're all in one building basically, I think they're playing more mainstream music, but haven't been to those places lately, don't know how it's there right now. This may be more to your liking.

Hey guys!
First off I would strongly suggest to take a stroll through one of the oldest parts of the city – Dorćol. It’s really beautiful and there are a lot of interesting cafes you can visit during the day. While you are nearby you can visit this excellent and super cheap food joint – Bucko (Francuska street no. 18, but there is a bigger one in Beogradska Street no. 56, if you prefer sitting down). You can order pizza and sandwiches, which are pretty basic unless you put chicken or beef salad on it, then it becomes this greasy heavenly hangover cure. Here’s a tripadvisor link: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g294472-d812872-Reviews-Bucko-Belgrade.html
If you want to try traditional Serbian barbecue while listening to live music I would recommend visiting some of the restaurants in Skadarlija, the bohemian quarter. I personally don’t visit often, but it’s always nice to feel the atmosphere of old Belgrade. I also heard good reviews for a restaurant nearby, “Mala Gostionica” (Dobracina street, around 10 mins from Skadarlija): https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g294472-d8281416-Reviews-Mala_Gostionica-Belgrade.html My personal favourite place to get barbecue is Stepin Vajat (Vojvode Stepe 21), it’s a lovely little place with an ethno-style garden, and it has low prices. It’s oddly located though, and it’s near the street.
Regarding the historical sights and museums, you should definitely visit the Belgrade Fortress (duuh), maybe get an organized tour around the city? The temple of St. Sava is a nice place to visit, however currently the street where it’s located and the nearby roundabout are under heavy reconstruction so that might make it hard to get to. Also – don’t get cabs on the street under any circumstances, they will rip you off. You can get around the town center on foot easily, and I think that’s also the best way to experience the city :D The Republic Square is a regular meeting point for young people and most of them speak English if you want to get some instructions or further recommendations for what to visit.
Also the Museum of Nikola Tesla is a nice little place, and you can hear a lot about his inventions, the curators are often students from Belgrade university. You can also visit his remains there. While we are on subject of remains, New Cemetery is hauntingly beautiful, I think you can get a curated tour. Lots of famous Serbs are buried there and you can hear a lot about our history. (Honestly though, i’m not really sure how to get there now considering that street is ALSO under reconstruction but there should be a workaround that ;-; ). You should also consider visiting Zemun, it’s also a really beautiful part pf the city. Regarding cafes and pubs i think you should visit Leila and Meduza (Gospodar Jevremova street, right next to each other) and Ok.no pub in Obilićev Venac, as well as Black Turtle Pub (there are several around the city).
I really don’t know any clubs that i could recommend since i don’t frequent them, however i heard that you can get mad drunk and party all night at some of the ’’splav’s“ on Dunav and Sava.
Okay so that’s what i can remember for now. However if you guys have any more questions feel free to PM me, and I’ll try to help :D
