Overview
Belgrade is rapidly establishing itself as one of Europe's top digital nomad destinations, combining rock-bottom costs with fast internet, legendary nightlife, and a growing remote work infrastructure. Situated at the dramatic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, the Serbian capital offers a unique blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Socialist-era architecture alongside a fiercely independent creative scene.
The city consistently ranks among the top places in Europe for remote workers, offering 80-110 Mbps average internet speeds, coworking spaces from just $100/month, and a comfortable monthly budget of $1,000-1,500. Belgrade became the largest European city to offer completely free public transport in January 2025, further reducing living costs.
Serbia allows visa-free entry for up to 90 days for citizens of over 90 countries, including the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia. The nightlife scene is genuinely world-class, with the famous river boat clubs (splavovi) along the Sava and Danube drawing partygoers from across Europe. The strong cafe culture, affordable dining (full meals for $5-10), and welcoming locals make Belgrade a place many nomads arrive for a month and stay for a year.
