TRANSPORTATION TIPS
How to get from Belgrade Airport to the City Centre
The mini-bus A1 runs every 50 minutes, 7 days a week, and only takes 30 minutes to reach the Slavija Square, in Belgrade’s city centre. A one-way ticket from Belgrade airport to the city centre of Belgrade costs €2.55 (300 RSD). Please note that you can purchase your ticket directly from the driver on board, in the local currency. You can find an exchange office at the airport. The mini-buses leave the Belgrade airport from a bus stop located outside the Terminal’s Arrivals Hall. We strongly recommend this option for your transportation from and to the airport.
Belgrade airport has a fixed-fare scheme for taxi rides from the airport to all destinations, and taxi fares are divided into zones of travel. A trip from Belgrade airport to the city centre costs c. €15 (1,800 RSD), as it is located in Zone 2. Please note that in order to get a taxi, you will first need to get a paid slip for your journey at the Taxi Information counter in the ‘Baggage Claim’ hall. You will then need to hand your slip to the first available taxi driver before starting your journey. Also, you can download the Car go app and schedule a ride to and from the airport, and use the app for other destinations as needed.

All the airport buses leave Nikola Tesla Airport from bus stops located outside the Terminal’s Arrivals Hall.
Getting around Belgrade City Centre
Belgrade City Centre is not widely spread out, featuring a diameter of roughly 5 km. Accordingly, for the best experience of the city’s unique vibe and local culture we highly recommend walking around. However, if you prefer motorized alternatives, please see the options below.
Belgrade doesn’t have Uber, but it does have the local version known as CarGo, which is likely the safest, cheapest and most convenient way to get across town.
If you don’t mind public transport, we recommend hopping on a bus or trolley in order to truly experience candid Belgrade. All public transport use a Bus Plus card payment system, so it would be smart to invest in one before hopping on a bus, in case of the rare occurrence of controllers. You can purchase a Bus Plus card and top it up with credit at most of the (paper and drinks) kiosks spread across the city. Please note that most of the kiosks do not accept credit cards so be sure to have cash ready. The card costs c. 2 EUR (250 RSD) and credit for a 90 minute ride is €0.76 (89 RSD) when purchased at the kiosks. One way ticket purchased on board a public transport vehicle costs €1.28 (150 RSD) when purchased on board – please note that the drivers can take cash only.
Taxis in Belgrade are comparatively cheap to the rest of the world. Our recommendations are Lux Taxi, Pink Taxi and Plavi Taxi. Most vehicles don’t offer card payments, so make sure to ask for one while booking.
