Common tourist traps and how to avoid them

Scams and risky spots named in official travel advice for Serbia, in our own words.

  1. Pickpockets at airports, transport and service stations

    How it works: Pickpockets work tourist areas, airports, public transport and motorway service stations; criminals may assume foreigners carry lots of cash.

    How to avoid it: Keep valuables secure and don't carry large amounts of cash.

  2. Unregistered taxis

    How it works: Only registered taxis show a municipal registration number next to the cab number.

    How to avoid it: Use registered taxis or call a radio taxi instead of hailing one.

Areas flagged in official advice

  • Unexploded landmines and bombs from 1999 remain in some mountain areas north and east of Kosovo โ€“ keep to marked roads (FCDO)

Official advice: FCDO: no areas advised against.
