Pijaca vs. supermarket
A pijaca is an open-air market: fresh produce, meat, cheese and spices, often cheaper and fresher than in the supermarket. Supermarkets (market) include Maxi, Lidl, Univerexport and Roda. At the pijaca pay cash; in supermarkets cards are fine.
Examples
Idem na pijacu.
I'm going to the market.
Kupujem u Maxiju.
I shop at Maxi.
Tips
- Belgrade markets such as Kalenić are great for groceries and for meeting locals.
