Currency ExchangeAs elsewhere in the ex-Yugoslav republics, the most frequently exchanged currencies are the Euro and US Dollar (Pound Sterling is rarely used). Money should be exchanged through official exchange offices only. There are an increasing number of ATMs that accept international bank cards. There are several money-exchange machines in Belgrade (including one at the airport), accepting Pounds Sterling, US Dollars and Euros, giving back Dinars. Scottish and Northern Irish Pound Sterling bank notes are not accepted.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMsInternational credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard are accepted in most shops, hotels and restaurants in Serbia. Diners Club and American Express are not so widely accepted.
Traveller's ChequesAlthough acceptable in theory, in practice these can be very hard to exchange. It is advisable to take hard currency and credit or debit cards.
Currency RestrictionsRestrictions apply.
Banking HoursMon-Fri 0800-1900, Sat 0800-1500. Some are open on Sunday.
