Travel Information
Belgrade
can be reached by air, road and rail from major European cities. Novi Sad can be reached
directly by train from Budapest
or Vienna, or
via Belgrade by
train (for timetable visit http://www.yurail.co.yu/)
or bus. We recommend you to take a bus from Belgrade, since there are buses from Belgrade to Novi Sad every half an
hour or even less. For timetable visit the website http://www.bas.co.yu/basweb_eng/redvoznje.asp
(now available in English too!). The bus takes approx. 1.5 hour to reach
Novi Sad. The
one-way ticket price is in the range 490–730 din (6-9 Eur),
which depends on the transportation company.
There is
also a possibility to use direct transportation from Belgrade airport to Novi Sad (price per car is 3000 din, around
40 euros, maximal four persons, see
http://www.kiki021.com/index.php?page=airports-pricelist-aerodromi-i-cene). One
who likes to use this opportunity should directly contact the “Ki-Ki travel agency” by e-mail kiki021@neobee.net.

Getting
around in Belgrade
For getting
to Belgrade city center from the airport "Nikola
Tesla", we recommend you to use the JAT airport bus (which leaves every
full hour e.g. at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, etc.) that will take you directly
to the Belgrade train station (the bus station is right next to it) and the
square “Slavija”. The price of the bus is around 200 din (2.5 Eur). Taxi from the
airport should cost around 10 Eur, but please note
that there are some taxi drivers that would like to charge you more than usual,
so before getting into the taxi ask for the price. Due to this fact, we advise
you to use the JAT airport bus. Check this website for all details how to get
from the airport to the city: http://www.beg.aero/code/navigate.php?Id=106
The cost
for the ticket in the Belgrade
public transportation is approx. 40 din (0.5 Eur) and can be purchased from the bus driver. Taxi in Belgrade is not expensive
(e.g. from the airport to the city center is approx 12-15 Eur,
from the Train station to the city center 6-7 Eur).
Visa
requirements
Citizens of the most
countries do not need a visa, but all information about visa regulations in our
country could be found on the following web site www.mfa.gov.yu/Consularaffairs.htm.
