Are you a nomad or long-term traveler who occasionally needs routine medical care on the road? If you find yourself near Serbia, Belgrade might be just the place to get your bodywork done.

In June 2025, Steve and I found ourselves in need of a little medical TLC in Belgrade, Serbia. First up: I had a stubborn cough that refused to pack its bags and leave. On top of that, we were both due for our semi-annual bloodwork and dental cleanings—and as a bonus round, our beloved (but very tired) custom shoe inserts needed replacing.

Belgrade delivered excellent care without the eye-watering price tag.

All costs are out-of-pocket and in U.S. dollars.

Finding Euromedik

When I asked a local pharmacist where we could get care, she didn’t hesitate: “Euromedik.” Turns out it’s a network of private clinics around Belgrade. We found the closest one and walked in. No appointment, no fuss.

The doctor saw me immediately, ordered a chest x-ray, prescribed antibiotics, and even said that if I needed to return within a week, the follow-up visit would be free. She also wrote prescriptions for my regular medications.

Costs:
Doctor’s visit: $30
Chest X-rays: $41

Not everyone spoke English, but they always found someone who did.

Zero wait time, modern clinic, and professional care. We were impressed.

Address of the clinic we visited: Cara Uroša 37

Bloodwork Time

Next up: blood tests. We each had a list of required tests from our previous doctors. Since fasting was required, we arrived around 8:00 am and were both in and out quickly. It was the smoothest blood draw of my life.

Our results were ready by noon. We could have received them by email, but chose to go over everything with a doctor.

Costs:
Steve’s bloodwork (9 tests): $41
Steve’s doctor’s visit: $30
Linda’s bloodwork (12 tests): $43
Linda’s doctor’s visit: Free! (Not sure why, but I’m not questioning it.)
Endocrinologist visit for Linda: $35

Address of the clinic we visited: Cara Uroša 37

Clean Teeth, Happy Nomads

Two of Euromedik’s locations (as of this writing) offer dental services, so we both got our teeth cleaned and polished, or as the brochure charmingly put it, “sandblasted.”

Cost per cleaning: $25

Normally, the cleaning costs $25, but since my teeth needed so little work (A+ in tooth brushing!), the dentist kindly knocked $5 off the bill.

At that price, you might expect 1990s dental equipment and a chair that makes ominous squeaks, but the office was modern, the dentist was great, and we left with pearly whites and no regrets.

Address of the clinic we visited: Jurija Gagarina 36d

Note: Don’t go to Jurija Gagarina 36 and expect to find an office or building D. These two addresses are a 19-minute walk apart. Yes, we did this too.

Euromedik Information

Here is the Euromedik website homepage. While it’s currently available only in Serbian, Google Translate will help you navigate with ease.

Here is the list of locations.

And here’s a quick reference for some terms you may encounter:
Dom zdravlja = Health center
Bolnica = Hospital
Bolnica i stacionar = Hospital and inpatient care
Poliklinika = Polyclinic (a healthcare facility offering a wide range of medical services, primarily focused on outpatient care).

You can check out the price list here.

Don’t let the big numbers scare you. 4.000,00 equals 4,000 Serbian Dinars which is about $40 as of this writing.

Last Step: Custom Insoles

Walking across countries does a number on your feet. We needed new orthopedic inserts and found Rudo, a local clinic that makes custom insoles. We walked in, got our feet scanned, and picked up the finished products a few days later.

Cost: $44 per pair

Our experience with finding this clinic was anything but smooth but we had no one to blame but ourselves. We first went to a local Rudo location, only to find out they don’t handle custom work.

The clerk didn’t speak English but a kind local stepped in to translate. She directed us to Vojvodina Putnika 7. We were less than thrilled to learn it was over an hour away by bus, but we figured we’d power through and check this errand off the list.

An hour later, we were wandering the outskirts of Belgrade with zero clinics in sight—unless one was disguised as a field or a car repair shop. So, back on the bus we went, burning another hour of our lives.

Turns out, we were supposed to go to Bulevar Vojvodina Putnika 7, which was just a breezy 15-minute tram ride from the original location. Classic mix-up, classic us.

Here is the Rudo website (also in Serbian only).

The Verdict

Every clinic we visited was spotless, the staff was helpful, and the care was top-notch. And the out-of-pocket prices were a fraction of what we’d pay in the U.S.

Belgrade isn’t just a gritty, cool city with killer food—it’s also a surprisingly great place to handle your health and wellness needs on the road. With Euromedik and Rudo in your corner, both your body and your budget will be in good shape.

Until Next Time
