The craziest night in the world is coming closer. Belgrade is greatly in the preparations for the best time. There are a lot of suggestions for a night out and we are discovering what kind of entertainment you can expect depending on the music you are listening to.

New Year's Eve at a club


Active winter season has brought a lot of novelties. The famous club scene is even richer for new places where foreign electronic music is listened to. If you decide to welcome the 2018 with techno or modern house hits, you have a difficult task ahead of you - which club to choose? Usually there is positive atmosphere at clubs and there are people who are not really into the "fever" of New Year's euphoria. It's perfectly normal not to kiss everybody nor to hug DJ. Clubs are not places of gathering of those who like to exaggerate with alcohol, so chances of unpleasant situations are minimal. Entertainment that highlights quality music attracts a large number of foreign tourists who come to Belgrade just for clubbing. You will hardly be able to overcome bass and start deeper communication with a stranger, but you can present a good vibe the capital is known for to him. Dancing until the morning is guaranteed.

New Year's Eve at a bar


The right choice for those who are bothered with loud music. Numerous bars are the favorite places to socialize with people who have comfort as a priority. A relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful ambiance, a drink and light food create a different entertainment than at clubs. Belgrade has bars like New York, London, Berlin and Paris and that is the reason why they are always crowded. Regular innovations in aesthetic and gastronomic terms provide much more than a place to socialize. Famous city bars have long been racing with the clubs in "booking" quality DJs, so the music has to be good. If you choose a bar as an ideal place for New Year's Eve, prepare for a calmer version of the night out. Or just an intro for a "louder" entertainment. The choice is yours.

Tavern is my destiny

Traditional entertainment never gets out of fashion. Taverns in Belgrade are very diverse and have a different repertoire. If you choose places that cherish tradition, you will enjoy with full both heart and stomach. The local specialties will be in front of you, and the discrete music of the tambourines will strike right into the heart. In these places, New Year is only a cause for another bohemian gathering. Modern taverns look more like discotheques, and live music with the sound system overcomes thoughts. Young people gather in front of the stage singing every hit, taking pictures with famous people and kissing everyone they find in a tavern. Trends from Instagram are mandatory here, so take care of the choice of outfits. As much as your shoes and clothes are tight, climbing onto tables and singing along is implied. Although the programme is planned until the morning, few of them remain till the end because large amounts of alcohol do their own.


Smaller taverns with a more intimate atmosphere are a good choice for those who want a home-like entertainment. Guests are generally familiar with the owner and everyone feels like at home. Musicians fulfill every wish and sing songs just for you and about you. At midnight, everybody kisses each other, wishes each other all the best and continues at a faster pace. You may not feel some exaggerated "insanity", but hospitality and pleasant stay are guaranteed.
