Compare airport transport options
Public transport offers several routes into Belgrade, while an airport taxi uses a fixed-price voucher system. The airport lists six services: A1, 72, 72N, 600, 607 and 860I. Their destinations and journey times vary, so check the route against where you want to continue your trip.
A1 goes to Slavija Square, with a stop on Kralja Milutina Street. Line 72 links the airport with Zeleni Venac Square, while night line 72N runs between the airport and Republic Square. These routes can help you choose a useful city-centre arrival point.
Lines 600, 607 and 860I serve other destinations rather than those central squares. Line 600 connects the airport with Belgrade Centre railway station, line 607 runs between the airport and Banovo Brdo, and line 860I connects the airport with Barič. For an arrival outside the listed bus routes, the taxi voucher system provides a direct alternative.
The airport’s approximate journey times are 30 minutes for A1, 30–40 minutes for lines 72, 72N, 600 and 607, and 80 minutes for line 860I. These are listed travel times, not a guarantee of how long your trip will take. For any option, verify current service details before setting out.
How do you get from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport to the city centre by public transport?
To reach a central square by bus, select A1 for Slavija Square or line 72 for Zeleni Venac Square. Night line 72 runs between the airport and Republic Square. The airport lists approximate journey times of 30 minutes for A1 and 30–40 minutes for lines 72 and 72N.
Line 72’s listed operating hours differ by direction: 04:40–23:40 toward the airport and 05:20–00:00 from the airport. Fares are 89 RSD when bought at a newsstand and 150 RSD when bought on the bus. These details can change, so check the official site before you go; for bus schedules and fares, use the City of Belgrade transport operator’s information.
For other destinations, the airport lists line 600 to Belgrade Centre railway station, line 607 to Banovo Brdo and line 860I to Barič. Approximate journey times are 30–40 minutes for line 600, 30–40 minutes for line 607 and 80 minutes for line 860I.
Line 607 also serves Surčin and Novi Beograd (Pohorska), with a listed journey time of 30 minutes; line 860I also runs between Savski trg and the Industrial Zone Barič, with a listed journey time of 20 minutes.
Fares for both lines are 89 RSD at a newsstand or 150 RSD on the bus. Check the operator’s information for the route and service you plan to use.
When choosing a bus, start with its destination rather than assuming every service goes to the centre. A1, 72 and 72N are the listed options for Slavija Square, Zeleni Venac Square and Republic Square; the other routes serve the railway station, Banovo Brdo or Barič.
Taking a taxi or pre-booked transfer
The airport’s fixed-price taxi process starts at one of four e-kiosks: three are in the baggage-claim area and one is in the passenger lounge. Get the fixed-price taxi confirmation before joining the taxi queue.
After you have the confirmation, take the first available taxi at the designated stand in front of the Arrivals Terminal. The driver must charge only the fare stated on your confirmation. The fixed fare covers up to four passengers and luggage that fits in the vehicle’s boot.
Metered-taxi charges include a 270 RSD initial charge, per-kilometre rates of 96 RSD, 125 RSD and 192 RSD for Tariffs 1, 2 and 3, and waiting time at 1,200 RSD per hour.
Fixed fares are 2,300 RSD for Novi Beograd, specified Zemun settlements and specified Surčin settlements, and 3,000 RSD for another zone. These are listed charges, not a quote for every city-centre destination; confirm the amount shown on your taxi voucher.
If you arrange a transfer in advance, compare its pickup instructions and price with the airport’s voucher-based taxi option before you travel. The facts available here do not specify private-transfer providers, prices or meeting points, so confirm those details directly with the service you book.
Continue from the city centre to the hotel
Once you arrive in the city centre, plan the final leg separately: the airport routes listed here identify their city stops but do not establish an onward route from a particular stop to the hotel. From the city centre, a Belgrade old town walk from Republic Square gives you a way to plan time around that central area.
If you are shaping a longer stay around central sights, use this one-day Belgrade itinerary to plan what to combine. For the hotel’s exact onward directions, confirm the route with the hotel before travelling rather than assuming that a bus stop or square is the nearest one.
