I am organising a small group trip, six people
Hello. I am organising a small group trip, six people, mixed ages including my parents who are in their seventies. Serbia appeals but I am worried about practicalities: how walkable things are, whether taxis are easy to arrange, and whether there is enough that does not involve climbing fortress walls or standing all day. Most travel content assumes young travellers with unlimited energy. Does anyone have experience travelling in the region with older family members? I would also like to know how the pavement conditions are, since one of them uses a stick on longer walks.

It works well with some planning. Belgrade's old town is walkable but hilly in places, and Kalemegdan involves uneven ground, so pace it. Novi Sad is much flatter and the fully pedestrian centre suits slower walking, which makes it the easier base of the two. Taxis are cheap and easy if you book by app rather than hailing. The Balkan travel guides , on PickBalkan are useful for the district breakdowns, which let you work out what is close to what before you commit to a hotel. For your parents I would build days around long lunches, that is very much the local rhythm anyway. And the free city transport helps more than you would think. One more practical point: pavements in the old town are uneven in places, so flat shoes matter more than usual here.
