Currency Information

The Serbian currency is the dinar (RSD). Each dinar is divided into 100 paras, no longer in use, thus prices at shops are rounded off. Coins come in the following denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 dinars. The banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000 dinars. You can change money in a bank or any of the exchange offices dotting the city (they are marked with the logo of the National Bank of Serbia). The differences in exchange rates are negligible. Western Union money transfers from abroad can be collected from the post office and most banks.

You can buy almost all goods and services with bank cards, and you need cash only for green markets, kiosks, and parking fees. Throughout the city, there is a large number of ATMs where you can collect money 24h a day. Cards widely acceptable in Belgrade are VISA, VISA Electron, MasterCard, Eurocard, Maestro, American Express and Diners Club.

 

Exchange rates

Euro is definitely the best currency to take to Serbia. While US Dollar, Canadian Dolar and British Pound will be accepted, the commission fee is far greater than the one for Euro. Please don’t forget to exchange money at the airport if you do not hold any dinars. The best is to exchange just a small amount of euros (€20-30), to pay for transfer to city or hotel. In the Best Western Hotel M there are ATM and currency exchange machine in the lobby. Also exchange offices can be found at every corner in downtown Belgrade.

Please check the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Serbia at the link below.
