This is thelist of cities and towns inSerbia. According to data from the 2022 census, Serbia has one city with over 1 million inhabitants, 3 other cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants, 14 cities with a population between 50,000 and 100,000, 47 towns with a population between 10,000 and 50,000, and 56 towns with a population of less than 10,000.[1]
Cities are usually urban centers of territory with the city administrative status, while towns are urban centers pf territory with the municipality administrative status. The administrative territory with the city status usually has more than 50,000 inhabitants, but is otherwise very similar to a municipality which usually has on its territory less than 50,000 inhabitants.[2] The administrative area of city or municipality is composed of a city/town proper (urban area) and surrounding villages (rural area): e.g., the administrative area of the City of Subotica is composed of theSubotica city proper and surrounding villages. There are exceptions to this rule, however, since there are dozens of municipalities that are composed only of villages i.e. they don't have any settlement designated as urban by theStatistical Institute of Serbia.
TheAdministrative area column in the table lists total population within the administrative boundaries of the city or municipality, meaning that the figure besides urban city/town proper includes villages located within administrative boundaries. In contrast, theUrban area column lists only population of the main city/town proper of the city/municipality, without the smaller settlements which administratively belong to the city/municipality, or in case of two largest cities,Belgrade andNovi Sad, contiguous urban area that includes city proper and adjacent settlements. Cities are shown in bold; administrative centers of districts are marked with "¤"; municipalities that doesn't have urban settlements (i.e. towns) are marked with "-" in theUrban area column.
