HOW TO GET TO SERBIA? By Plane The main airport of Serbia is “Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport” (BEG), just a few miles from downtown Belgrade. Car-Rental, Taxi Service, and Hotel Shuttle Buses to downtown Belgrade are available at the airport. Major European airlines fly to Belgrade. Serbian national airline JAT Airways flies to all major cities in Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East. Serbia's second international airport is in Niš – “Niš Constantine the Great International Airport” (INI). It's connected with Zurich as well as some other European cities during the winter months, serving as the airport for the near by ski resorts. By Train Serbia is very well connected by train routes to other European countries. There are several international trains from Belgrade to Budapest (Hungary) and Vienna (Austria) and to Zagreb (Croatia) –Ljubljana (Slovenia) –Munich (Germany) and Venice (Italy) - Zurich (Switzerland). Furthermore, there are direct (day or night) trains from Belgrade to Skopje ( Macedonia) – Thessaloniki (Greece) and to Sofia (Bulgaria) and Bucharest (Romania). Most of the trains usually run with a small delays. Train tickets are very affordable. By Car/Bus Major international highways going through Serbia are E75 and E 70. E763 / E761 is the most important route connecting Serbia with Montenegro. Prices on Serbia’s international highways that charge a toll are already among the highest in Europe. Covering a distance of about 100 km costs about 10 euro, even on the so-called “autoput”– a three-lane road with safety that is far from that of a decent highway. In recent years, Serbia has concentrated its attention on the improvement of the Belgrade-Athens motorway and plans to extend the motorway to Sofia beyond Niš. The country’s main road link with Europe – through Subotica and Budapest – will remain a three-lane road. There are numerous buses connecting Belgrade with Budapest ( Hungary), Vienna (Austria), Munich (Germany), Athens (Greece), as well as with major cities of other countries bordering Serbia. Comparing with airplane and train, bus tickets are most affordable. By Boat Several boat tours from Vienna down the Danube pass through Belgrade and have a one or two day stopover in Belgrade. If the weather is pleasant, and you have a time on your hand, Danube river a wonderful waterway to travel to Serbia. Danube River is a major river commercial route from Vienna to Belgrade.
