Shopping is something that intrigues everyone and something that is loved by almost everyone. Barring a few scarce people, everyone loves shopping and is always on the lookout for good places to shop at. This merriment of shopping scales up to new levels when you are visiting a new city or even a country like Serbia.

In the case of Serbia, a country having immense historical and cultural importance, you can hardly keep yourself off the markets and places for shopping in Serbia that offers a variety of products!.

As RocApply we understand how vital it is for you to have a steady shopping lifestyle in a foreign land! Serbia has an ongoing tradition of handcrafts that are practical, beautiful, and also make for great souvenirs. Turkish coffee sets, metalwork, and clothing crafted with elaborate embroidery, knitting, or leatherwork are Serbia’s most distinct souvenirs.

The capital contains just as many modern shopping malls and foreign chains as any other European capital city, but its major shopping street is the pedestrian-only Kneza Mihaila.

Kneza Mihaila’s designer boutiques and other malls tend to stay open longer than their neighborhood elsewhere in Belgrade. The same is true for Serbian supermarkets. Due to import taxes, clothing in the country costs about 20% more than in neighboring Hungary. Although most country’s boutiques trade mainly well-known foreign designer clothing lines.

Serbian designers are showcased at the Choomich shopping mall in the capital’s design district. Serbian Novi Beograd zone is the best place to find less expensive clothes in the city, especially in the Blok 70 Chinese market and the Buvljak flea market.

Use and Delta City are the two shopping stalls closest to the nations' city center. Vulkan and Plato, located at opposite ends of Knez Mihailova street, are the country,s two largest bookstores.

Exotic language magazines and newspapers can easily be found at most major country’s bookstores and kiosks. Serbia has been one of Europe’s most known spa getaways since the 18th century when people first sought out the healing specifications of the several geothermal and mineral water springs in the country. Several Serbian spas also sell bottled water from their own springs, placed among the best in Europe, and also transacted at other shops throughout the region.

Most Serbian spas are located in the heart of the quiet countryside, surrounded by serene forests or landscapes.Another popular Serbian retreat is the historic community of Sokobanja, which has a hospital on Ozren Mountain, especially for people suffering from lung problems. Turkish baths from the 16th century surround Sokobanja’s old town center.
