Red Star Belgrade away.

Haha, yeah, I should have mentioned what the money's like! The yellow and green notes (10 and 20 RSD) are a nightmare to keep track of. Get rid of them at the first opportunity, because they'll multiply like Gremlins throughout the course of the day. Also, if you're nice, try to keep payment with them in bars to a minimum, because barstaff hate having to deal with them.

You should just tip the yellow and green notes :)

I went looking for it, got directions in the bar, he said 15minute stroll, asked again when I thought I was near it and the bloke said another 20minute walk. He pointed me to one round the corner, got 13,500 for £100 sterling, so that's about same, I think. Done 4 mile already today, now back in Allo Allo Bar, nice little gaff full of pictures of Gordon Kaye, Vicki Michelle et Al, and smoke, its like 2007 all over again, loving it.
The exchange I used is called Kikaz.

Don't know mate, I've got a Revolut but I haven't loaded it with any Dinars, checked online and it is widely accepted here but I didn't want to have be asking before I order every time, so I bought some cash with me, cash is king everywhere, except the concourse bars at the Etihad and few other places I've been lately. I'm fully up to date now, got Google pay, revolut but I still like to have a wedge on my hip when away from home.

 

[kippaxkid]

Yes, but be prepared to pay a 'withdrawal fee' on top of all the other costs. I've never used a foreign card here, but from what I understand these fees basically range from £4 to £7, depending on the bank that owns the machine and the software version currently installed in it (so different machines from the same bank might actually charge different amounts).

What atms would you avoid , is it best to use one attached to a bank . I'll be using revolut card

If you've not left blighty yet I'd get yourself £100 cash at least, you'll need it at the airport if you want to get a taxi, it's 3,000rsd to the centre and from what I saw you have to take the first cab on the rank. Unless @Bibbers or @davidkloppesh know different and you can just go to a pink cars even they aren't on the front grid.

There were about 4 atms at the airport but I didn't look at rates, I enough for my cab with cash at the exchange desk, can't even remember the rate though sorry.
You'd imagine the ones at the airport will all be spanking everyone, might be best waiting til morning and have a mooch, there at plenty of banks and atms, maybe our 2 'locals' can give you a pointer.

 

[kippaxkid]

Just walked up to there we got about £49.50 in monopoly money for £50 sterling .

49.50 what currency , £50 should get you roughly 6800rsd

what i was thinking , if i get chance to get a late beer ill just pay by card and find a bank in the morning

 

[Zubrman]

Flying direct from Heathrow tomorrow morning, 07:50 I think. Anyway, I just got 200 Euros and will take my credit card with me.

Looking at the weather for Belgrade, seems to be quite warm for the time of year until Friday, when it starts turning chilly. That's when we fly back, my lad and I, (his first Euro away, bless.)

I think that Raiffeisen has the highest fee, but again part of it depends on when their software was last updated. Like I said, I don't use foreign cards here so can't really give decent advice.

If you've got the 3000 dinar voucher, you go to the one at the front. If the voucher office is closed and you're confident enough, you can argue with the drivers that you don't have any trust in their company and insist in going with one from a reputable one.

We got 6750 for £50

I tend to round up by the hundred for tips, and use the small notes in my local bakery every morning, because they're always desperate for change.

 

[doots]

Email from City says cash only inside the ground and no booze.

Yeah but he's arriving after midnight, might not be running.
Anyway he's got a transfer through his hotel, sorted.

 

[fitzy blue]

Had a decent walkabout today, not seen as many pubs as I thought for a big City.
Might find where they're hiding tomorrow.
In the three Carrots Irish bar at the mo, pretty full already with a lot of locals in.
