Where to stay in Kragujevac
In Kragujevac the choice isn't a district but quiet: the centre is all on foot and close to the sights, Šumarice is greener and quieter, right by the memorial park.

Kragujevac is a small city without the district choice bigger cities offer — the choice comes down to the centre, where everything is on foot, and Šumarice, which is greener and quieter, right by the memorial park. There is no hostel in the city; hotels are what's left.
The centre — all on foot
Milošev venac, the Princely Serbian Theatre and the kafanas in the centre stand a few minutes' walk from each other — for a first or only stay, this is the one part of town where nothing needs riding. Garni Hotel Tri O, the only hotel with a confirmed price, runs at €28 per person for a double room, plus €0.85 per person tourist tax.
Šumarice — greener, by the memorial park
The 352-hectare memorial park doubles as the city's walking ground, so staying in this area is quieter and greener than the centre itself — the hotel price is the same as anywhere in town, €28 per person. The centre and the kafanas are reached on foot or by city bus.
Why there's no hostel
Kragujevac isn't among the Serbian cities with a dorm-bed hostel — accommodation goes straight to hotels and private rooms, with no cheaper option for a single bed.
What to check before booking
- The tourist tax isn't in the price a booking site shows. For a three-star hotel it's €0.85 per person, paid on the spot.
- Distance from the centre on the map, not from the square. Šumarice looks close on the map, but the real distance is a matter of walking or riding minutes, not a straight line.
