Being in Belgrade -- Getting in and Around the City
Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport is located 20km outside the city centre, about 30 minutes by car or 45 minutes by bus. There are a few ways you can get from the airport into the heart of the city, some of which are more cost-effective than others.
There's a minibus that regularly roves between the airport, the main train station, and the city centre. A ride on this will give you a great visual introduction to the city and is one of the cheapest ways to get into the city. Alternatively, you can grab a taxi outside the terminals for a speedy trip to your destination. You can also arrive in the city via the overland train services from surrounding countries.
Getting around Belgrade is easy, too, with an efficient collection of public transport services. There are regular bus services that connect up the main attractions, as well as a night bus service which will take you safely back to your accommodation after enjoying the nightlife in the city. You can pick up a BusPlus card which will save you time and money if you plan to use lots of public transport, though there is always the option to walk. Many of the major sights are within walking distance of each other, giving you the chance to slowly explore everything the city has to offer.
