I haven't been back since we left (1992 due to war), but both my parents and my brother have been back, as well as countless cousins, etc.
The city is just awesome. You don't have to worry about crime too much (just be aware like you would in any European city, or anywhere else for that matter) or safety or landmines (WFT?). FYI, landmines were only used in open fields in the war, and most have been taken down and de-mined as a part of the peace treaty.
Lots of good clubbing to be had, and depending on what you're into (dance/house music, or pop, or rock) there's lots of bars and clubs around the city.
Now, I highly recommend the largest dosage of Cevapi as many times per day as you can eat it. Also, lamb on a spit roast is also a local favourite. Go to the old city (Bas Carsija) and walk through the market. There are dozens of shops and little restaurants with awesome food.
