Transport from Airport to City

Our recommendations for transfer from the airport to the city center

• Taxi
  This transportation option is the fastest and easiest. Our recommendation is to find a taxi information desk in the arrival area, where you can take a voucher with a guaranteed price of a ride depending on your desired destination (hotel location). This ride is performed by reliable taxi companies. Before the ride, we strongly recommend to you check with the driver whether he drives according to the price on the voucher. The approximate price of a taxi to the city center is about 30 euros, and the travel time is about 20 minutes. For more information about taxi companies, see the Useful info page. However, you should still be careful, because of taxi scams and drivers who charge significantly more expensive rides. Regular taxi drivers can be recognized by the TX mark on their license plates.
• Minibus A1
  Mini buses are available to go and come back to Belgrade Airport from Slavija Square. Travel time is about 30 minutes.
• Private car transfer
  If you want private transportation to and from Belgrade Airport, you can book a transfer to your preferred destination (hotel location). Several companies offer individual or group transfers either by car, minibus or bus. For this service, we can recommend the agency International Voyager, website www.voyagerrentacar.com and email for reservation requests This email address is being protected from spambots.

by Train

Belgrade has been a part of the European railway network since 1885, when it was included on the famous Orient Express route. Nowadays, Belgrade lies at the intersection of main European railway lines E-70 and E-85. Passenger services are provided by state-owned operator Srbija voz. More about timetable and train services could be found on the Srbija Voz website. The ongoing overall modernization of Serbian railway network including the overhaul of the Serbian part on the line Belgrade – Budapest, as well as the Covid 19 pandemic, influence that many international trains have been suspended or canceled in timetables for last two years. Due to all these reasons, we recommend participants to check other traveling options to Belgrade.

For those who look for a train trip to Belgrade, we recommend planning a train ride to Budapest and transferring to Belgrade by bus. Besides regular Belgrade - Budapest - Belgrade bus lines, there are several agencies that offer individual or group shuttle transport on a ’’door to door’’ basis (e.g. Gea Tours Belgrade - https://geatours.rs/en ).
