Belgrade - Post Report Question and Answers

Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?

To some degree yes, depending on where you live and how you want to get around. Not a lot of ramps around, and many buildings only have stairs. Buses don't kneel for accessibility. - Oct 2024


Yes. Sidewalks are lacking in some areas as are elevators. - Sep 2019


Yes, as sidewalks are used by cars to park, for instance. - Jan 2019


Probably not the easiest city to move about if you are disabled or in a wheelchair. - Dec 2018


Public transportation is frequent, and most buses (if not all) accommodate wheelchairs. Sidewalks are wide in the main walking areas of town, but in smaller neighborhoods cars park on them. - Sep 2015


Yes, they would. Busy city, potholes, side walks are narrow. - Aug 2015


Yes - where sidewalks exist, they are broken up and cars park on them. Many buildings don't have working elevators. Public transportation is not accessible. You could do it, but it would be tough. - Aug 2015


Yes. Sidewalks are rough and often covered in cars, so it would be difficult to navigate them with physical disabilities. - Aug 2014


It would be challenging, sidewalks can be in rough shape in some areas and cars often park on them (meaning it can also be quite hard to get around with a stroller in some areas). - Aug 2013


Newer facilities such as malls do have some accommodations. - Apr 2012


As long as you drive everywhere, you should be okay. The sidewalks are terrible and non-existent in many places. - Nov 2011


Sidewalks are for parking, not walking. Buildings are old and the elevators can be really small. - Jul 2011


There are good walking areas which would be accessible by wheelchair. - Nov 2010


This wouldn't be my first choice, but they are working on things like access ramps. But it would still be a little tough, I think. - Jun 2010
