How to reach Belgrade?

The Belgrade airport 'Nikola Tesla' is situated 18 km west of Belgrade. All major international and several low-cost airlines have regular service to Belgrade. Updated flight information is available here.
Detailed instructions how to get from the Belgrade Airport to any location in Belgrade are given below or at this website |
Taxi services Optionally one can use different transport services (e.g. see option1 or option2). Additionally, there is possibility to rent a car at the Belgrade airport. There are plenty of rental services in the airport building. Please follow the link. | |
Getting to Belgrade from the airport "Nikola Tesla" From the airport to the city center take the fast mini-bus A1 line (ticket price around 300 RSD), departing every 20 min in the rush-hour, that takes you to the Slavia square in the city center. Note that A1 stops at the train station, which is next to the the Belgrade bus station to Šabac. An unfavorable option is bus 72, because it takes a long time to travel from the airport to the center of Belgrade and its last stop Zeleni Venac is the busiest bus station in Belgrade. Taxi from the airport should cost around 1800-2000 RSD (~15 to 20 EUR). Recently the airport offers a service to buy a taxi-voucher (there are 6 zones, depending on the area you want to reach) and use first available taxi outside for the fixed rate (1800 RSD is for the city-area). Check this possibility as soon as you exit the custom control. For more details check the airport website. | |
Public transportation in Belgrade The one bus-ride ticket is 89 RSD (approx 0.75 EUR) and a "BUS Plus" pass can be bought at any news-stand (you can purchase the bust ticket with the driver for 150 RSD). Taxi in Belgrade is not expensive (e.g. from the airport to city center approx. 18 EUR, from the train station to city center 4-5 EUR). |
