Check direct hotel websites for best rates — many Belgrade hotels offer 10-15% discounts for direct bookings vs Booking.com
Apartments in Stari Grad via Airbnb offer excellent value for families or groups — typical 2-bedroom $60-120/night with kitchen facilities
For Kopaonik ski season (December-March), book 3-4 months in advance and check package deals including lift passes
Novi Sad hotels spike dramatically during EXIT Festival (early July) — book festival accommodation as soon as the dates are announced, often 9-12 months ahead
