Rus and Buslus: public transport in Belgrade. From Belgrade airport to the city and vice versa - all the ways A1 bus schedule in Belgrade
From Slovenia to Moscow I flew through Belgrade (or, in Serbian, Beograd). In the capital of Serbia, I had a long connection between flights, which I used to get acquainted with the sights of Belgrade.
Two types of buses run from Nikola Tesla Airport to the city center: Express A1 and city bus number 72. Stop - opposite the exit from the airport building. The distance from the airport to the center of Belgrade is 18 km.
Tickets can be bought from the driver. At the airport, I exchanged 10 euros for Serbian dinars, and paid them. A ticket for the 72nd bus cost 90 dinars, for a shuttle - 300 (100 dinars ~ 60 rubles).
In daylight, both the express train and the 72nd go almost every 20 minutes. I went there on the 72nd, back - on the express. They wrote in reviews that the 72nd makes many stops. In time for the 72nd, it took 10 minutes longer.
A1 makes 3 stops along the way: one in Novi Beograd (Fontana-Paris Commune) and two in the Old Town (at the railway station and at Trg Slavia). From Trg Slavia, terminus A1, close to the Church of St. Sava, the Museum of Nikola Tesla, Parliament.
The 72nd bus has the final “Zeleni Venats” (vegetable market), from which it’s 5-10 minutes to Teraziye Square and to the beginning of Prince Michael Street. I would advise starting the route from Prince Michael Street and the Kalemegdan Fortress, to which this street also leads.
The official website of the Belgrade airport is https://www.beg.aero/. There you can see the schedule, traffic pattern and check the current ticket prices.

First impressions of Belgrade
So, at the airport, I took a bus and went to the city.
Before the trip, I read reviews about Belgrade, how beautiful and interesting it is, but the city building, floating in front of my eyes outside the windows of the bus, did not confirm this in any way. On the contrary, after cozy Ljubljana (the capital of Slovenia), after the fervent, youthful (capital of Croatia) Belgrade looked groomed and neglected. From a prosperous Euro-society, I moved to a semi-Asian - semi-Gypsy city. But not so long ago, all these cities belonged to one country - Yugoslavia.
Another standard of living was felt both in the form of streets and in the clothes of the inhabitants. The uniform of young girls is tight jeans, sneakers and T-shirts. Many men were wearing tracksuits.
First, the bus drove along Novi Belgrade, then across the Brankov bridge crossed the Sava River - we moved to the Old Town. But outside the windows, little has changed.
Next to me was a grandfather, who spoke good Russian. He suggested a stop at which stop ("Zeleni Venats").
Out. It’s dirty at the stop, it’s scary in the underpass.
I reached Teraziye, a wide central street, the main decoration of which is the Hotel Moscow - a building in the style of "secession".
Next to the Moscow Hotel is the Terasian Chesma Fountain, built by Italians in 1860.
Other houses on Therasia look dark.
Prince Michael Street
From Terasie began the street of Knes Michael - a wide pedestrian street with solid houses. The picture has changed dramatically. I was inspired and prepared to admire.
Indeed, there are a lot of architecturally remarkable buildings on Knes Michael Street, built in the 70-80s of the 19th century (the same “secession”, the influence of Vienna and Budapest).
There are benches in the middle of the street.
Wires are woven into a web
The street, more strict and official in the beginning, closer to the Kalemegdan park is filled with tables of summer cafes.
As a result, Knez Mihail Street became for me the most remarkable and beautiful place in Belgrade.
By the way, the city itself originated in this place: here was the center of the Roman settlement Singidunum.
Belgrade fortress Kalemegdan
Knez Michael Street led me to the main attraction of Belgrade - Kalemegdan Park and Belgrade Fortress. It was a Sunday day, a lot of people walked in the park and in the fortress.
In Turkish, Kalemegdan denotes the field between the fortress and the city (another interpretation is the battlefield). Kale is a fortress, megdan (maidan) is a field.
A tall cliff (125 m) at the confluence of the Sava River into the Danube and a wide plateau at the top is an ideal place to build a fortress, and the first fortress on this site was erected by the Romans in the 1st century AD. Then the fortress grew, strengthened, rebuilt by each new owner. And the owners changed very often.
The whole history of these places is an endless series of battles, destruction and rebirths. Romans, Huns, Byzantium, Avars, Slavs, Hungarians, Bulgarians. 1284 - for the first time the city is ruled by Serbs (not for long and alternating with Hungarians). Since 1521 - then the Turks, then the Austrians. 1867 - Belgrade finally became Serbian. In World War I, it was occupied by Austria-Hungary. 1918 - Belgrade is declared the capital of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
1941 - Germans bombed. 1944 - the Allies bombed. 1999 - Americans bombed. Just some kind of rock.
Now Kalemegdan is called both the park in front of the fortress and the Belgrade fortress itself. The fortress consists of two parts: the upper part is located on the plateau, then there is a sharp descent to the bottom of the hill, and there, near the Danube, is the lower part of the fortress. The fortress is built of bricks. Although on the diagram it is depicted with white stone walls.
For the Serbs, this place is significant in that it was here in 1867 that the Turks recognized their final defeat and transferred the city to the Serbs. The Turkish sultan handed the keys to the fortress to Prince Mikhail Obrenovich, and now there is a monument to the delivery of keys to the Belgrade fortress at this place. Prince Michael is a key figure in the history of Serbia.
There is still such an expressive monument in front of the fortress, erected as a token of gratitude to France for help in the First World War.
To get to the fortress from the side of the park, you need to go through three gates.
First, we cross the bridge to the ravelin - a triangular fortification in front of the main gate.
Tennis courts are now located in the ravelin moat.
From ravelin go to the Istanbul gate. But that is not all.
The space between the second and third walls is filled with military equipment. The fortress houses the Military Museum, and part of the equipment is exhibited in a ditch under the fortress walls.
Inside the wall is a box office. You can walk around the fortress for free, but on the territory of Kalemegdan there are several objects for which you need to buy a ticket. These are the Sahat and Neboisha towers, the Roman well and the powder warehouse. A single ticket costs 400 dinars (~ 240 rubles).
The first paid object is located immediately at the entrance to the fortress - this is Sahat Kula, or Clock Tower.
It is necessary to climb the fortress wall, and then climb the tower. However, Kula Sugar is low.
From it you can clearly see the wall section near the main gate.
This is how the Military Museum looks brutal:
View of the War Museum
Inside the fortress, the park continues. Walking along it, all the time you come across the remains of foundations, fragments of buildings.
The upper part of the fortress ends with a parapet along the edge of the cliff, from where the lower part of the fortress, the Sava and Danube rivers and the Great Ratny Island lying opposite the fortress are clearly visible.
The Danube in Belgrade is viscous, full-flowing, imposing. That summer, my travels took me several times to the banks of the Danube - from and to. Near Vienna the river is young and agile, in Budapest the Danube is gaining solidity, in Belgrade it is powerful and majestic.
If you go along the edge of the cliff to the right, then you get to the Despot Gate.
Despot Gate
The gate is named after the despot Stefan Lazarevich.
For us, the word "despot" is akin to "tyrant," but among the ancient Greeks it meant "master, master." The Serbian state in the 16-17 centuries was called - "Serbian despotism." Stefan Lazarevich became the first despot of this state.
The intersection of our languages \u200b\u200ballows us to understand the inscriptions and even sometimes find out something. But to our ears, the Serbian language seems rustic and a bit naive. Here, for example, are the names on the city map: “a monument to Vasya Charapich”, “Captain-Mishino building”, “pawn zone”.
Behind the Despot Gate, there is a moat through which a long wooden bridge is thrown.
The bridge leads to the most powerful gate of the Belgrade fortress - the Zindan gate of the 1450th year of construction.
From them begins a cobblestone walkway, sandwiched between two fortress walls, leading to a low, angular tower.
Having passed this fortified corner with three towers, we exit to the picturesque section of the park.
To the right of the wall is the Belgrade Zoo.
On the left, just below the fortress walls, on a small platform in the middle of the slope, are the Ružitsa Church and the Chapel of St. Paraskeva Friday (Svete Petke). This is a whole complex, although very compact, including, in addition to the church and the chapel, a gallery and a covered colonnade.
Perhaps this is the most populous place of the fortress. In the Church of the Ruzhitsa people stood close to each other. However, its size is small.
Murals and mosaics - in an unusual manner for us. Reminiscent of illustrations in children's tales.
This is Jesus: snub-nosed, rustic, with huge eyes.
From the church complex, the path descends to the lower part of the fortress.
We pass by a former Turkish hammam,
past the gate of Charles VI
past the guardhouse - to the tower of Neboisha, the second museum object included in the ticket.
I approached this tower very in time, because in one instant the weather turned bad: the heavenly abysses opened, and a shower poured.
There is a museum in the tower of Nebojš, it has several levels, floors and is dedicated to the Turkish period of the fortress.
Once the Neboisha tower had customs functions and regulated the passage of ships to the city - the end of the chain was attached to the tower, blocking the passage through the river. It was also used as a prison.
The downpour lasted so long that for a while I myself felt like a captive of Neboisha.
Finally, tired of wandering around the tower, I went out in the rain and went to the other end of the lower fortifications. The climb began uphill, and soon I was already entering under the arches of the Powder warehouse - the third object of the museum ticket. The powder warehouse resembled catacombs and was filled mainly with sarcophagi and gravestones.
From the Powder warehouse, a cobblestone paved walkway rose to the upper level of the fortress.
I was again upstairs, already in the southern part of the fortress. Here, the monument was dominated over the area in the form of a naked man on a high pillar-pedestal. This composition was called "Winner". Established in 1928 in honor of the victory near Solun in 1918.
From Pobednik a wide view of New Belgrade and Sava opened.
Near the observation deck, almost growing into the ground, there was a dome - and this turned out to be the fourth museum object: the Roman Well, which simply struck me with its power.
For some time you get to him as if in a spiral.
Above the well is a dome (a similar dome was over Turkish).
A well trunk goes into the depths of the hill.
In general, the well is impressive. “What the Romans!” I admired. And then she read that the well was rebuilt by the Austrians in 1717 during the reconstruction of the fortress. Well 60 meters deep. Two spiral staircases around it descend to a depth of 35 meters.
Railway and bus tickets in Europe - and

Belgrade International Airport - the largest and busiest airport in Serbia - accepts flights from all over Europe, Russia and some Asian countries. Therefore, we decided to study in detail all the ways how to get from Belgrade Airport to the city center.
(international code BEG) is located between the regions of Surchin and Bezhaniska Kos, 12 km from the border of the city and 18 from its center. The airport is named after the famous scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla. Serbia's national carrier, Air Serbia, is also based here.
Belgrade International Airport - Serbia's largest and busiest airport
The Belgrade airport terminal complex is small, but cozy and quite modern. The airport has two terminals, interconnected by a common area.
Terminal No. 1 serves domestic and charter flights, as well as low-cost carriers; Terminal 2 accepts regular flights, and it accounts for most of the passenger traffic. There are several cafes, shops, a currency exchange and other amenities familiar to large airports.
There is a Belgrade airport and free Wi-Fi for passengers, as well as numerous sockets for charging gadgets.
Cheap flights to Belgrade
Tickets to Belgrade can be purchased quite cheaply: the local airline, Air Serbia, conducts sales with enviable regularity, lowering the cost of tickets to a minimum. If the action did not work out, then the cheapest way to fly to Belgrade is the easiest with a transfer in one of the European capitals. You can choose a cheap dock using the calendar of low prices below.
In addition to direct flights to Serbia, Belgrade Airport is also often used by travelers for convenient connections when traveling to and from airports.
Airport map
Belgrade Airport is not very large, you can figure out the scheme on the spot - it won’t take much time. However, Top-trips found the terminal layout:

Taxi from Belgrade Airport
From Belgrade Airport, taxi is easy to get to anywhere in the city and the surrounding area. You can try to catch a car at the exit of the terminal building or book it in advance for your flight via the Internet.
The second method is often cheaper, because a rare taxi driver will resist the temptation to raise the price for a tourist. When ordering online, the possibility of manipulating tariffs is reduced to zero: the service calculates the cost of the trip before the actual payment, and “add on the spot” will fail.
If necessary, you can order a car with pre-installed chairs for children, and if you have a lot of things - a car with a spacious trunk. The driver meets his passengers at the exit from the arrivals area with a sign indicating their names.
Another plus of ordering a taxi online is taking into account the possible delay or cancellation of a flight. The taxi service independently monitors the airport scoreboard and sends the car exactly to the arrival of the aircraft.
You can check the current taxi prices and book a car for your arrival on this page.
Buses from the airport to the city
From the airport to the center of Belgrade can be reached by buses A1 and number 72.
Shuttle bus stop A1 is located at the airport terminal. The bus goes to Slavia Square with an intermediate stop at the train station. From 8.00 to 19.00 the bus runs every 20 minutes, then the interval between flights increases to 60 minutes. Travel time to the final stop takes about 30 minutes. The ticket can be bought from the driver, its cost is 300 Serbian dinars.
Belgrade Airport is named after the world famous scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla
City bus route 72 runs from the airport terminal to the Zeleni Venac bus station. The journey takes about 40 minutes, and the fare will cost 89 dinars (about 0.7 €). Tickets can be purchased at the box office or directly from the driver. In the second case, the ticket will be a little more expensive - 150 dinars (1.2 €).
Car rental at Belgrade Airport
In the terminal building there are several car rental companies at once, and, if desired, the car can be arranged right in the arrivals area. However, one should be careful here.
Renting cars at the Belgrade airport, it is worth considering the so-called additional payments, which are often not available in the booklets of distributors. Most often this applies to insurance.
To avoid surprises, it makes sense to book a car through a specialized car rental price comparison service. One of the most popular in Europe is Rentalcars - the brainchild of the same holding company as the famous hotel portal Booking.com.
The system is designed in such a way that all local rental conditions are reduced to a “common denominator”, which allows you to select the most advantageous offer in a matter of seconds and leaves no room for price manipulation.
In 95% of situations, this approach can significantly save. Find out the cost rent a car at the airport of Belgrade on the dates you need and specify the rental conditions
Overall impressions of Nikola Tesla Airport are mostly positive. I think this is because of the staff. The girl at the baggage check-in desk was motherly caring and fussy in a good way, almost with respect to all passengers on the Belgrade-Moscow flight. Even the most arrogant. Yes, there is a flip side - a hefty queue has accumulated, many have begun to cram, and someone even climbed out of turn, explaining their absurd actions by the fear of not being in time or by the confusion (in their understanding) of the baggage drop-off desks (note: drop off means check-in of checked-in passengers, check in - check-in of all passengers). What can I say ... We are such a people, well, what can we do ... Of course, everyone loaded onto the plane and no one was left behind. He flew, by the way, by Aeroflot.
On a note. When leaving Serbia, border guards do not stamp the passport. Do not worry and run in a panic with a passport at the airport 🙂
How to get from the airport to the city
Bus Belgrade - Airport
From the airport to the city and back runs the bus route A1. New buses, polite drivers. Today it is the most convenient budget way to get from the airport to the city. The bus starts from Slavia Square (the stop is directly opposite the entrance to the Slavija Hotel) and follows through the main railway station with a stop for 2-3 minutes. Further to the airport non-stop.
The bus runs around the clock: from the city from 06:20 to 19:20 every 20 minutes, and from 20:30 to 05:20 every hour; from the airport 07:20 to 18:20 every 20 minutes, and from 18:40 to 06:00 every hour, respectively.
Prices: one way ticket costs 300 dinars. Travel time is about 35-40 minutes. Only cash is accepted. Payment directly from the driver (it will suit itself when you get on the bus).

Complete A1 Bus Schedule
In addition to the direct bus A1, there is a regular bus number 72. The most budget option. It makes absolutely all stops along the way, and the travel time during peak hours can be more than an hour. Payment is possible only in cash directly from the driver. The cost is 150 dinars if you buy from the driver or 89 dinars if you buy in advance at a specialized kiosk in the city. The option for transit passengers is so-so, especially if time is short (5-6 hours). In this case, it is better to take a taxi or book a transfer in advance.
In addition to the above, there is another option - bus number 607. The cost is similar to the previous one, but the route is somewhat different and you can’t do without a transfer in this case.
Taxi Belgrade - Airport
At the exit from the arrivals area terminal there is an official taxi stand on the left. The cost is about 2000 dinars (about 1000 rubles). Travel time will take approximately 20 minutes.
Russian-speaking transfer to Belgrade from the airport to the hotel
Transfer differs from taxi in that there are no problems at all. A great way to feel like a respected person. Still, they’ll be met with a sign, taken to the car, they will help to reload luggage, etc. Plus, you can pay for the transfer on the Internet in advance - you do not need to change euros / dollars or rubles to Serbian dinars. Similarly with a child seat - fill in the appropriate field at the stage of booking.
You can check the prices and place an order below through the corresponding widget of the KiwiTaxi website - an international transfer reservation service.
Car rental at Belgrade Airport
Rates for car rental in Serbia, I would call average (although, of course, depending on what to compare). If you fly to the airport in three or four, it makes sense to rent a car and drive around the city. Car rental also makes sense if you only have a transfer in Belgrade and you don’t have much time.
Through the widget of the Rentalcars website (aggregator of rental companies) you can check prices in real time. Book here, specifically this site has not let me down yet. The most convenient is a comparison of conditions in Russian, no need to delve into the tricks of each specific rental.
Belgrade Airport Overview
Arrivals and Departures
Here is a cozy restaurant located to the right of the entrance to terminal 1. The summer terrace (pictured) is open during the warmer months.
Cozy cafe on the open veranda near the airport
At the entrance to the Belgrade airport, the absence of a metal detector frame immediately catches your eye. For better or worse, I do not know, but for lovers to come 10 minutes before the end of registration, this fact cannot but rejoice.

Airport Services
The most useful of the free services, I would call the scales, which are right at the entrance to terminal 1 on the right (next to the currency exchange machine and baggage packing). Before checking in your baggage, you can see its real weight and shift something if the weight exceeds the limit set by a particular airline.
Cozy cafes in the terminal building
Luggage packing racks are located both at the entrance to terminal 1 (right) and at the entrance to terminal 2.
Prices: packing luggage will cost 450 dinars. Only cash is accepted. Opening hours: from 4:30 to 18:00.
Baggage rack
The children's playground was nominally, in fact, it did not work. Perhaps this is temporary.
Indoor Playground
After passport control, duty free shops, souvenir boutiques and the like are available to passengers. Prices are bugged (as at any other airport), the range is mediocre. On the shelves of such shops you can even find icons. In general, the impression was that in Serbia with sovereigns, well, somehow not very ...
Duty free shops in the transit area
They sell national costumes and magnets (salvation for those who did not have time to buy in the city)
ATM and currency exchange
As such, I did not find ATMs at the Belgrade airport directly in the arrival / departure areas. So, to receive cash by credit card at the airport after crossing the border (this, if you fly to Belgrade) can be slightly problematic. There are ATMs in the transit zone, and if you plan to go out to the city for a short time, it is better to withdraw cash there, before passing the border control. There is an exchanger in the arrivals area, but it has been working since 10 am.
The salvation of the "drowning" can be an automatic machine for exchanging currencies for Serbian dinars. The principle of operation is as follows: you insert euros, dollars or even rubles into the bill acceptor at once with one bundle in the amount of the amount that the terminal displays on the screen (i.e. the amount that it can physically give out, having certain banknotes at a particular moment time), click "confirm" and take the money with the check. It is impossible to withdraw money from a bank card here.
The main nuance is that this machine simply does not have Russian-language firmware. Those who speak English will not be difficult to figure out the sequence of actions, but everyone else will have to sweat. In this case, I advise you to order a transfer to the city (you will be met with a sign with your last name), and already in the city to withdraw or exchange money in the required quantity.
On a note. The machine does not accept Serbian dinars and does not change them back to rubles, euros or dollars.
The conversion rate in such machines is about 20% worse than the official rate of the Central Bank, established on the day of the transaction. It makes sense to exchange here a small amount for travel to the city (if traveling by bus), and in the city to withdraw money from a bank card or exchange it in any available exchange. Taxi drivers are rather willing to accept the euro, so sometimes an exchange at the airport will not really be needed.
Currency exchange machine - located at the exit from terminal 1 on the left
Smoking area
I did not notice any special places, or even smoking rooms, like at the Nikola Testa airport. Smoking is allowed (at least everyone did) right before entering the terminal, so you can safely check-in for your flight or just check in your luggage (if you check-in online) and go outside to lift before the flight. Personally, I do not smoke and do not advise you.
Transfer (transit) at the airport of Belgrade
Transit through Belgrade is quite convenient for the Russians. Visas and other formalities are not a hindrance (Russian citizens do not need a visa at all), so you can freely leave the airport, go for a walk in the city or spend the night in a hotel and return back to the right time. If you are still afraid of something or you have only one landing gear on your arm, then you can go to the so-called transfer desk to get a second landing or clarify the necessary information. Everything goes very well.

Overnight at Belgrade Airport
When changing trains in Belgrade, you can spend the whole night at the airport. However, there is a better option. Buses to / from the airport run at night every hour, so you can use the machine to exchange euros / dollars / rubles for dinars and drive them into the city. The coolest thing you can think of is to get acquainted with a very interesting phenomenon, secret bars in apartments. The bottom line is that a good half of these places are classified (you can’t find the entrance unless you know about it in advance) and therefore there is a very unusual atmosphere there. Along with regular bars, in secret apartments you can drink coffee, a foamy drink or even strong alcohol.
He knows the hidden passages (the Russian guy Vasily is a resident of Belgrade) who will help get into the apartments by organizing a real tour of the most interesting places. Go, you will not regret it! The tour is booked online in advance and paid in rubles.
What else to do when transplanting
If the transplant is daytime, then it is quite possible to have time to go on a city tour. Perhaps this is the maximum in terms of the usefulness of the time spent. Basically, all day trips are 3- or 4-hour, so there will still be time to eat (I wrote about the places I recommended) and to go for a walk.
In the article I’ll tell you how to get to the city from Belgrade Airport. I will share in all ways, of which there are few. There are three of them: public transport, taxi or car (owned / rented). I will tell you about the nuances with buses, the cost of a taxi and parking at the airport, and also tell you how to get from the airport to the hotel for less than 1 euro. Are you going to the Nikola Tesla Belgrade International Airport or, vice versa, from it? Then you are at.
If you decide to get from Nikola Tesla Airport to the center of Belgrade by public transport, then you have two options.
- Express A1.
- Bus number 72.
The A1 bus costs 300 dinars per person one way (the BusPlus card does not work in it). The ticket is purchased from the driver. Travel time is 30 minutes. The bus goes in the direction of Belgrade Airport - Slavia Square (Serbian. Trg Slaviјa) with almost no stops. I know for sure that it stops at the Railway Station (the bus station is also located there). Perhaps the driver may stop somewhere at your request, but not sure.
From 08:00 to 18:00, the bus leaves the airport every 20 minutes, at other times, once or twice an hour. It runs from early morning until late at night (a break in traffic is two hours - from 03:00 to 05:00).
At the airport, the A1 bus stop is very easy to find. It is located almost at the exit of the arrivals area.
Bus 72 is a regular city flight departing from Belgrade from the Zeleni Venac market not far from and going to Nikola Tesla Airport. Travel time is 40-50 minutes. The fare is 89 dinars on the BusPlus card (zone 2), 150 dinars if you buy a ticket from the driver. In the fall of 2018, the possibility of paying directly with a bank card appeared in Belgrade's public transport (no need to take Bus Plus). But I couldn’t pay using a card (Alfa-Bank, Russia).
The bus takes longer, but its advantage is that having a BusPlus card, you can transfer to another type of public transport within 90 minutes after validation. For example, I lived for. Arrived by plane, got on bus number 72, drove to Zeleni Venats. He got off the bus, climbed to Terasia Square, got on bus number 26 and drove to the house. And paid for everything about all 89 dinars.
Details about Belgrade public transport, about BusPlus and fare I.
At Belgrade Airport, bus number 72 stops at the top tier.
From Belgrade Airport by taxi
The Nikola Tesla Airport website provides official taxi rates. The price is fixed, divided into zones. For example, in Novi Beograd and a taxi from the airport will cost 1,400 dinars (14 euros), and in the center of Belgrade - 1,800 dinars (18 euros). If they call prices higher, do not agree. Better to book a transfer in advance on the Internet. It costs a little higher, but the driver will meet you at the airport with a sign, the guarantee of a meeting is 100%.
From Belgrade Airport by car
Distance Belgrade Airport - the city center is 18 kilometers. Two points are connected by a wide modern highway, there are all the necessary signs, it is difficult to get lost even without a navigator.
At the airport of Belgrade, there are racks of international rental offices, but I recommend not to look for an offer on their websites, but to compare prices in one place. Just keep in mind that there are very few automatic transmission machines in Serbia, and their rental is usually almost twice as high.
There is a large parking lot at the airport. Parking directly at the terminal costs 100 dinars per hour. Paid at a special kiosk that works in the parking lot.
If you fly to Belgrade from Moscow and drive to the airport with your own car, then information about parking at the capital's airports will also be relevant. For example, under the link you can book a parking in Domodedovo. On the same resource you can book a parking space at other Moscow airports.
If you leave Belgrade for a few days and there is a need to leave the car in the airport parking lot, then another parking lot is designed for this. It is 300 meters from the terminal. 1 day in the parking lot are 800 dinars.
The international airport named after Nikola Tesla (Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd) is located 18 kilometers from the capital of Serbia - Belgrade, and 12 kilometers from the main railway station of the city. This is not only the main airport of the country, but also the busiest of all airports in the territory of the former Yugoslavia - in addition to Serbia, now it is Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia.
Belgrade Airport is divided into two terminals, interconnected by a corridor, and is the hub, that is, the hub airport, for the national airline of Serbia - Air Serbia. Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd is also used by such a popular low-cost bonfire as Wizz Air.
The official website of the airport is www.beg.aero.
From the airport to Belgrade
If you plan to get to the city by taxi, then keep in mind that the cost of the trip is determined not by distance, but by the zone of Belgrade that you need. There are only six of them. The price can vary from 14 to 60 euros. You can familiarize yourself with the rates in more detail.
Important: all payments in Serbia are made in national currency - dinars, which can be easily exchanged either at the airport, or, with a bank card, at any ATM. The euro to dinar is approximately 1: 120.
If you do not take into account the taxi service, then the most convenient and cheapest way to be in the center of Belgrade is, of course, a bus. And there are two options.
The first is city bus number 72. A ticket will cost 89 dinars if you buy at a kiosk. As befits public transport, this bus makes many stops on its way. In addition, it can be crowded, so you should not count on a comfortable trip. The final stop of the bus is the central district of Zeleni Venats, near the vegetable market. More information about bus route number 72 - http://www.eway.rs/en/cities/beograd/routes/72.
To find the cheapest flights to Nikola Tesla airport, it is better to use the international service Skyscanner, which will select the most successful options for you.
The second option is more preferable. This is a small shuttle bass A1. And although the trip on it will cost more (300 dinars), this route is attractive because the shuttle bus makes only three stops on the way to Belgrade: in the new district of Fontana, near the railway station and on Slavia square in the central part of the city . The bus leaves on schedule, which can be viewed.
Finding the A1 stop is very easy. At the exit of the airport building, turn left, and literally after 10 steps you will see the stop of this minibus with the appropriate stand. Tickets can be bought from the driver. Travel time will take approximately half an hour.
