Transport: fast, simple, reliable

Since ancient times, Serbia has been a crossroads between East and West, and a developed transport infrastructure is implied, whether we are talking about air, road or rail transport. This means that, if you are planning a visit to Serbia, you can expect warm hospitality and ease of movement both within the country and to other parts of Europe and the world.

Serbia has several airports, and the largest is the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, which represents the regional hub and that served almost eight million passengers in 2023. The airport has a modernized building with two terminals, and planes depart from it to almost 100 destinations in 37 countries of the world. In addition to the Belgrade airport, you can also arrive in Serbia via the airport in Niš (Constantine the Great) and the airport in Kraljevo (Morava). Also, there are other smaller airports that serve charter flights and smaller airlines. Whether you prefer to travel with the world's largest airlines or low-cost airlines, Serbia offers a wide range of opportunities to travel based on your wishes and capabilities.

The road traffic network is branched so that highways connect the largest cities in Serbia. You can get from Belgrade to Novi Sad in a little over an hour. It will take you the same time to get to Kragujevac, and in order to get to Niš in the south or Subotica in the far north, you won't need more than two hours of driving. In the last few years, Serbia has significantly improved its road infrastructure, which now consists of about 1,000 kilometres of highways across the country, which you can use to travel to neighbouring countries: Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria and North Macedonia. For more information about road traffic in Serbia, current events and road conditions, we suggest you visit the Roads of Serbia website.

For those who prefer trains, the railway offers regular lines connecting the largest cities within the country, as well as international lines to Hungary, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia. Traveling by train can be a pleasant experience, with beautiful scenery, especially if you travel through mountainous areas.

Serbia recently introduced a new train called "Soko" (meaning "falcon" in Serbian). This modern train can take you from Belgrade to Novi Sad in just 35 minutes, which represents a significant improvement in the speed and comfort of travel. In addition to speed, passengers can enjoy a high level of comfort, free Wi-Fi service and other amenities that this train offers.

To buy tickets and plan a trip by "Soko" train or any other train, visit the official website of Serbian Railways. Here you will find all the necessary information about timetables, ticket prices, as well as the possibility of online purchases.

Belgrade, like every million city in the world, has its own challenges when it comes to transportation. The lack of a subway, the construction of which has begun, is compensated by an extensive network consisting of more than 150 bus, tram and trolley lines. It is important to note that public city transport also operates throughout the night. With over 20 lines of night transport, you can easily and reliably reach every part of the city.

To use public transport as a foreign citizen, we recommend that you visit the official public transport or railway websites for the latest information on tickets, prices and timetables. For example, the official website of GSP Belgrade offers detailed information about city transport lines, ticket prices and how to buy them. On this website you can find out how you can buy a ticket via SMS, as well as for what period of time. You can also buy a transport ticket directly in the vehicles.

Also, there is a developed system of taxi transportation in Belgrade, which consists of several thousand vehicles. In addition to taxi transportation, online services for ordering rides are also very popular.

Novi Sad, as the second largest city in Serbia, also has a remarkably developed network of public transport, and you can find all the information about the transport lines here.

We hope this information will help you easily plan your trip and travel around Serbia, enjoying everything this wonderful country has to offer.

Welcome to Serbia!
