The most densely populated cities in Serbia pack the most residents per square mile, creating vibrant urban environments with walkable neighborhoods and extensive public transit. Novi Pazar leads with 14,526 people per square mile.

High population density is often associated with better access to public transportation, more walkable streets, and a wider variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options within close proximity. These cities tend to have lower car ownership rates and shorter commute distances.
