About Belgrade
Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, standing where the Sava river meets the Danube. It is the country's political, economic and cultural centre, known for the Kalemegdan fortress, its riverside nightlife and its café culture. As one of the largest cities in the Balkans, it is a regional hub for business, transport and an expanding technology sector.
Belgrade follows Central European Time, UTC+1, and switches to Central European Summer Time, UTC+2, in summer. Serbia is outside the European Union but keeps the same time as Germany, Hungary and Croatia, so Belgrade usually matches Vienna and Budapest. It is one hour behind neighbouring Romania and Bulgaria, and one hour ahead of London throughout the year.
