What’s the experience like?

“You must be tired — welcome to Belgrade!” That’s what Marko said, holding my name sign just outside arrivals. I’d barely slept on the flight, so seeing someone actually waiting for me (not just a taxi line) felt like a small relief. The air inside the car was cool and smelled faintly of lemon from the bottled water he handed over. I fumbled with my suitcase — Marko just grinned and took it, like he’d done this a thousand times.

The drive into Belgrade isn’t long, maybe 25 minutes if traffic’s kind. I kept staring out the window at those old socialist blocks mixed with flashes of graffiti and bright shop signs. Marko pointed out the Sava river as we crossed it (“That’s where locals go for kafana dinners,” he said), and when I tried to pronounce “kafana,” he laughed — apparently my accent is hopeless. He switched between English and Serbian on his headset, chatting with another driver about someone’s lost phone. It made me feel less like a tourist and more like I’d slipped into someone else’s daily routine for a bit.

I didn’t expect to get tips about which bakeries open earliest or how to spot the best burek by smell (hint: buttery, not greasy). The Wi-Fi worked fine — I messaged home before we hit Republic Square. Marko asked if I wanted music or silence; honestly, after that flight, silence won. He helped me with my bags again at drop-off, then pointed out a shortcut through Kalemegdan Park if I needed fresh air later. Funny how something as simple as an airport transfer can set the tone for a whole trip — I still think about that first glimpse of the city lights through rain-specked glass.
