Pet Travel Tips for Belgrade
๐ท๐ธBelgrade, SerbiaยทUpdated 27 April 2026
Belgrade is one of Europe's most affordable capitals for travelling with a dog: a compact Old Town walkable in a day, the year-round Ada Ciganlija dog beach, free public transport (since 2025), and Serbia's only 24-hour vet hospital. The two things to plan around are the city-bus pet ban and the very hot summers from June to August. Below are the rules visitors actually run into.
๐ก Quick Tips
- 1.GSP city buses do not accept non-service pet dogs, use trams and trolleybuses instead, both free since January 2025.
- 2.Save Vet Planet 24/7: +381 11 411 4222 (Toลกin Bunar 128, Novi Beograd), Serbia's only 24-hour clinic, 15 minutes by Bolt from the Old Town.
- 3.Belgrade summers can hit 35 ยฐC, walk dogs at sunrise or after 19:00 in July and August, and avoid the dark cobbles of Skadarlija that radiate heat.
