WELCOME TO BELGRADE!

TO AND FROM THE AIRPORTBelgrade Airport "Nikola Tesla" (http://www.beg.aero/welcome.54.html) is approximately 20 km from the Belgrade centre.

TAXI Best way to get from the airport to the hotel is by taxi. In the baggage claim hall you will find a counter “Taxi” and a person in a bright green vest. There you can get a voucher for a taxi, and the cost depends on the relation. Your relation is to the centre of the city, so you should get the voucher for EUR 20.

To avoid "free lancing" taxies, when you pass the customs and exit to the airport arrivals, you can take the escalator on your left (to check-in level) and go outside there. The taxis waiting there are regular.

IMPORTANT: do not take “free lancing” taxies, as they will charge you much more than regular

A1 BUS LINEMini-bus line A1 goes from the airport to the city centre Slavija Square every 20 minutes. Ticket price is 300 RSD (~ 3 EUR). You will find A1 bus stop as you exit to the airport arrivals, and then exit the building on the same floor, straight ahead. The route, map and time table are available here:http://www.beg.aero/passengers/to_and_from_the_airport/transportation.106.html

PUBLIC BUS LINEIf you are feeling more adventurous, you can take the public bus no 72 (goes approx. every 30 min). You should go to the last stop called "Zeleni venac", in the city centre. The ticket is RSD 120 (~ 1 EUR) and can be bought from the driver. It will take you approximately 35 - 45 minutes to the Zeleni venac, depending on the traffic.

CURRENCY

National currency is Serbian dinar (RSD). The middle exchange rate for 1 EUR is approximately RSD 120 (http://www.nbs.rs/export/sites/default/internet/english/scripts/kl_srednji.html) – so you should expect few per cent less when you buy dinars. Note that exchange rate is subject to changing, so check the rate shortly before your travel. There are several exchange offices at the airport, but the exchange rate is usually better in banks and exchange offices in the city centre. You can also get the cash from many ATM machines.
