List of Belgrade neighbourhoods and suburbs

List of Belgrade neighbourhoods and suburbs

Below is a list of the neighborhoods and suburbs of Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia. Each neighborhood or suburb is categorised by the municipality in which it is situated.

The City of Belgrade is divided into seventeen municipalities, of which ten are urban and seven suburban. Six of these ten urban municipalities are completely within the bounds of Belgrade City Proper, while the remaining four have both urban and suburban parts. The seven suburban municipalities, on the other hand, are completely located within suburban bounds.

Municipalities of the City of Belgrade are officially divided into local communities (Serbian: "месна заједница/mesna zajednica"). These are arbitrary administrative units which on occasion correspond to the neighborhoods and suburbs located in a municipality, though usually they don't. Their boundaries often change as the communities merge with each other, split from one another, or change names, so the historical and traditional names of the neighborhoods survive.

In the majority of cases, especially in the old urban areas of Belgrade, the neighborhoods and suburbs don't have firm geographical or administrative boundaries. This sometimes causes confusion even among Belgraders, as many have different views on where one neighborhood or suburb ends and another begins. Cases of this kind of contention include:

* Boundaries shaped through history, in many cases overlapping (Palilula–Hadžipopovac–Profesorska Kolonija).

* Sub-neighborhoods or parts of a larger neighborhood (Čukarica–Banovo Brdo–Čukarička Padina).

* Different names for the same areas (Englezovac–Savinac–Vračar).

* Neighborhoods of the same name stretching outside their own municipalities (sometimes even with the same name: extreme west of the neighborhood of Palilula (Jevremovac) belongs to the municipality of Stari Grad, not the municipality of Palilula).

* Some are completely located in another municipality (Selo Rakovica is located in the municipality of Voždovac, not in the municipality of Rakovica).

* Inhabitants of one neighborhood, even though geographically belonging to one area, consider themselves inhabitants of another (Bežanija–Bežanijski Blokovi).
