The Property — Apartment City Square
Apartment City Square is a straightforward, self-catering base in central Užice. The lobby is clean and modern but compact; you’re here for location, not luxury. It suits independent travellers who want a quiet, functional apartment within walking distance of the main pedestrian street, without paying for hotel frills.
Chronicles of Uzice
Užice grew from a medieval fortress town into a key railway and industrial centre under the Ottomans and later the Yugoslav era. Most of its core was rebuilt after heavy WWII bombing, giving it a mid-20th-century block-and-plaza character. The nearby Đetinja River gorge and the Kadinjača memorial park anchor its identity as a resilient, working-class city with strong links to the surrounding Zlatibor mountains. Today it’s a regional transit and shopping hub, still proud of its 1941 Partisan resistance history.
Best Time to Visit
Full Uzice guide →Best months
June and September: warm, sunny days with highs around 25°C; fewer crowds than midsummer; July is hotter and busier.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: temperatures routinely hit 30°C; the city fills with domestic tourists heading to Zlatibor mountain resort (30km away) and the Mokra Gora heritage railway. Hotel prices in Užice rise 20–30% compared to May or October. The main draws are Užice’s weekly summer market and day trips to Zlatibor.
Budget shoulder season
May and October: pleasant 15–20°C days, rain likely but lighter crowds, and prices often 15–25% lower than July. Perfect for walking the city without sweating.
Weather & packing
July afternoons can bring sudden thunderstorms from the surrounding hills. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and sunscreen; wear sturdy walking shoes for the cobbled streets and hilly terrain.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apartment City Square, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the courtyard (rear of building). These floors strike a good balance between lift convenience and street noise reduction, and the rear orientation avoids Kralja Aleksandra traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms overlooking Kralja Aleksandra — street noise from this main road can be persistent, especially in the morning and early evening. Also skip rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor.
Best views
Rooms at the rear (courtyard side) on floors 2-4 offer a view over the city’s lower rooftops toward the surrounding hills. Street-facing rooms look onto Kralja Aleksandra, a busy urban street with shops and foot traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. The building has a lift serving all floors, so upper floors are further from street level noise; floor 4 is the topmost and likely quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
Kralja Aleksandra is a central road with through traffic, so expect moderate noise from cars and occasional buses during the day. The lift may cause some low vibration on adjacent rooms. No on-site bar or restaurant noise is flagged.
Insider tips
1. Book parking in advance — the on-site lot is small; the public car park (500 RSD/day) is a short walk but cheaper. 2. Request a courtyard-facing room when booking — this is a standard request that can make a real difference in sleep quality given the street noise potential.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
