In Serbia, most crime against travelers is from letting their guard down. Petty crime is the most common. Beware of theft, pick-pocketing and burglary.

Other more violent crimes are less likely to occur but are not unheard of. Xenophobia is a prevalent issue in this country and can result in violence. Tourists are rarely the targets of these crimes. Avoid clubs and other night time hot spots.

When traveling to Serbia, you’ll want to pack the following items:

  • Outlet Converters – The outlets in Serbia are not the same as the outlets in America. You will need to find an outlet converter that is compatible with a 230V/50hz electricity outlet.

“Excellent Experience“
“I was referred to Passport Health Houston by my physician due to a planned business trip to Serbia. The staff was very helpful in finding an appointment time that met my needs. The RN discussed all of the concerns and available immunizations/medications available for the location I was traveling to and erased any fears/concerns I had about my trip.I highly recommend the services offered.”
