Frequently asked questions

Which is better for digital nomads: Antalya or Belgrade?
Antalya scores higher on the Freedom Score (76/100 against 71/100), which makes it the stronger all-round base. That is an average, though — if cost, climate or community is what actually decides it for you, the tables above will point the other way as often as not.

Which is safer: Antalya or Belgrade?
Antalya scores higher on safety, 68/100 against 62/100. Safety scores blend crime levels, political stability and healthcare access, and they describe a city as a whole — individual neighbourhoods vary far more than the headline number suggests.

Antalya averages 128 Mbps and Belgrade averages 55 Mbps, so Antalya has the headroom if you push large files or run video calls all day.
What visa would I need for Antalya or Belgrade?
Antalya sits in Turkey (n.a.) and Belgrade in Serbia (90-day+ stay). Requirements, income floors and processing times change often, so check the visa and residency guide before you commit to either.
