General impressions of Nikola Tesla airport are mostly positive. I think it's because of the staff. The girl at the baggage check-in desk was motherly caring and fussy about almost all passengers on the Belgrade-Moscow flight. Even the most arrogant. Yes, there is also a downside - a hefty queue has accumulated, many have begun to binge, and some even climbed out of line, explaining their ridiculous actions by fear of not being in time or by confusion (in their understanding) with baggage drop-off and check-in counters (note: drop off means the baggage of already checked-in passengers, check in means the registration of all passengers). What can you say ... We are such a people, well, what can we do ... Of course, everyone boarded the plane and no one was left behind. By the way, I flew by Aeroflot.
On a note. When leaving Serbia, border guards do not stamp the passport. Don't worry and run around the airport in a panic with your passport 🙂
How to get from the airport to the city
Bus Belgrade - Airport
Bus route A1 runs from the airport to the city and back. The buses are new, the drivers are polite. Today it is the most convenient budget way to get from the airport to the city. The bus starts from Slavija Square (stop directly opposite the entrance to the hotel Slavija) and follows the main railway station with a stop for 2-3 minutes. Continue to the airport without stops.
The bus runs around the clock: from the city from 06:20 to 19:20 every 20 minutes, and from 20:30 to 05:20 every hour; from the airport 07:20 to 18:20 every 20 minutes, and from 18:40 to 06:00 every hour, respectively.
Prices: one way ticket costs 300 dinars. Travel time is about 35-40 minutes. Only cash is accepted for payment. Payment directly from the driver (it will do itself when you get on the bus).

Full timetable for A1 bus
In addition to the direct A1 bus, there is a regular bus number 72. The most budgetary option. On the way, it makes absolutely all the stops, and the travel time during rush hours can be more than an hour. Payment is only possible in cash directly from the driver. The cost is 150 dinars if you buy from the driver or 89 dinars if you buy in advance at a specialized kiosk within the city. The option for transit passengers is so-so, especially if the time is short (5-6 hours). In this case, it is better to take a taxi or order a transfer in advance.
In addition to the above, there is another option - bus number 607. The cost is similar to the previous one, but the route is somewhat different and with this option you cannot do without a transfer.
Taxi Belgrade - airport
At the exit from the arrivals terminal, there is an official taxi stand on the left. The cost is about 2,000 dinars (about 1,000 rubles). The journey takes approximately 20 minutes.
Russian speaking transfer to Belgrade from airport to hotel
Transfer differs from a taxi in that there are no problems at all. A great way to feel like a respected person. Still, they will meet you with a sign, escort you to the car, help you reload your luggage, etc. Plus, you can pay for the transfer on the Internet in advance - no need to exchange euros / dollars or rubles for Serbian dinars. Likewise with a child seat - you fill in the appropriate field at the stage of booking.
You can check prices and place an order below, through the corresponding widget on the KiwiTaxi website, an international transfer booking service.
Car rental at Belgrade airport
I would call the rates for car rental in Serbia average (although, of course, it depends on what to compare with). If three or four people arrive at the airport, then it makes sense to rent a car and drive around the city. Renting a car makes sense even if in Belgrade you only have a transfer and there is not much time.
You can check prices in real time via the Rentalcars website widget (aggregator of rental companies). Book here, this particular site has not let me down yet. The most convenient thing is to compare the conditions in Russian, you don't have to dig into the tricks of each specific rental.
Belgrade airport - overview
Arrivals and Departures
Here is such a cozy restaurant located to the right of the entrance to Terminal 1. The summer veranda (pictured) is open during the warm season.

Upon entering Belgrade airport, the absence of a metal detector is immediately striking. Good or bad, I don’t know, but those who like to arrive 10 minutes before the end of registration cannot but rejoice.

Services at the airport
The most useful of the free services, I would say, are the bathroom scales that are right at the entrance to Terminal 1 on the right (next to the currency exchange and baggage wrapping machine). Before checking in your baggage, you can see its real weight and transfer something if the weight has exceeded that set by a particular airline.
Cozy cafes in the terminal building
Baggage packing desks are located both immediately at the entrance to Terminal 1 (on the right) and at the entrance to Terminal 2.
Prices: baggage packing will cost 450 dinars. Only cash is accepted for payment. Opening hours: from 4:30 to 18:00.

The children's playground was nominally, in fact, it did not work. Perhaps this is temporary.
Indoor children's playground
After passport control, passengers have access to duty-free shops, souvenir boutiques and the like. Prices are high (as in any other airport), the range is mediocre. You can even find icons on the shelves of such shops. In general, the impression was that in Serbia with the sovereigns, well, somehow not very ...
Duty free shops in the transit zone
They sell national costumes and magnets (salvation for those who did not have time to buy in the city)
ATMs and currency exchange
As such, I have not found ATMs at the Belgrade airport directly in the arrival / departure zones. So, getting cash with a bank card at the airport after passing the border (this is, if you arrive in Belgrade) can be a little problematic. There are ATMs in the transit zone, and if you plan to go to the city for a short time, then it is better to withdraw cash there, before passing the border control. There is an exchange office in the arrivals area, but it works from 10 am.
The rescue of the "drowning" can be a machine for exchanging currencies for Serbian dinars. The principle of operation is as follows: you insert euros, dollars or even rubles into the bill acceptor in one bundle at once in the amount of the amount that the terminal shows on the screen (i.e. the amount that it can physically give out, having certain banknotes in stock at a particular moment time), press "confirm" and take the money with a check. It is impossible to withdraw money from a bank card here.
The main nuance is that this machine simply does not have a Russian-language firmware. For those who speak English, it will not be difficult to figure out the sequence of actions, but everyone else will have to sweat. In this case, I advise you to order a transfer to the city (they will be greeted with a sign with your name), and already in the city to withdraw or exchange money in the required amount.
On a note. The machine does not accept Serbian dinars and does not exchange them back for rubles, euros or dollars.
The conversion rate in such machines is about 20% worse than the official rate of the Central Bank set on the day of the transaction. It makes sense to exchange a small amount here for travel to the city (if you go by bus), and in the city to withdraw money from a bank card or exchange it in any available exchange. Taxi drivers are quite willing to accept euros, so sometimes an exchange at the airport will not really be needed.
Currency exchange machine - located at the exit from Terminal 1 on the left
Smoking area
I did not notice any special places, or even more so smoking rooms, like, at the Nikola Testa airport. Smoking is allowed (at least everyone did) right in front of the terminal, so you can easily check in for your flight or just drop your luggage (if you checked in online) and go outside to smoke before the flight. Personally, I don’t smoke and I don’t advise you.
Transfer (transit) at Belgrade airport
Transit through Belgrade is quite convenient for Russians. Visas and other formalities are not a hindrance (Russian citizens do not need a visa at all), so you can freely leave the airport, go for a walk in the city or spend the night at a hotel and return back at the desired time. If you are still afraid of something or you have a boarding board on only one leg of the route, then you can go to the so-called transfer desk to get a second boarding board or to clarify the necessary information. Everything is going very well.

Overnight at Belgrade Airport
When connecting in Belgrade, you can spend the whole night at the airport. However, there is a better option. Buses from / to the airport run every hour at night, and therefore you can use the machine for exchanging euros / dollars / rubles for dinars and drive them to the city. The coolest thing you can think of is to get acquainted with a very interesting phenomenon, secret bars in apartments. The bottom line is that a good half of these places are classified (the entrance cannot be found if you do not know about it in advance) and therefore it has its own very unusual atmosphere. Along with the usual bars, you can drink coffee, foamy drink or even strong alcohol in secret apartments.
He knows the hidden passages (Russian guy Vasily is a resident of Belgrade), who will help you get into the apartments by organizing a real excursion to the most interesting places. Go, you won't regret it! The tour is booked online in advance and paid in rubles.
More things to do when transferring
If the transfer is daytime, then it is quite possible to have time to go on a city tour. Perhaps this is the maximum activity in terms of the usefulness of the time spent. Basically, all day excursions are 3 or 4 hours long, so there will still be time for food (I wrote about the places recommended by me) and for a walk.
From Slovenia to Moscow, I flew through Belgrade (or, in Serbian, Beograd). In the capital of Serbia, I had a long connection between flights, which I used to get to know the sights of Belgrade.
There are two types of buses running from Nikola Tesla airport to the city center: express A1 and city bus number 72. The stop is opposite the exit from the airport building. The distance from the airport to the center of Belgrade is 18 km.
Tickets can be bought from the driver. At the airport, I changed 10 euros for Serbian dinars, and I paid with them. A ticket for the 72nd bus cost 90 dinars, for a shuttle - 300 (100 dinars ~ 60 rubles).
During daylight hours, both the express train and the 72nd train run almost every 20 minutes. I went there on the 72nd, back - on the express. They wrote in reviews that the 72nd makes a lot of stops. By the 72nd time, it took 10 minutes longer.
A1 on the way makes 3 stops: one in Novi Beograd (Fontana-Paris Commune) and two in the Old Town (at the railway station and Trg Slavia). From Trg Slavia, the final stop A1, close to the Church of St. Sava, Nikola Tesla Museum, Parliament.
The 72nd bus ends at the “Zeleni Venac” (vegetable market), from which it takes 5-10 minutes to reach Terazije Square and to the beginning of Knyaz Mihaila Street. I would advise you to start the route from the street of Prince Michael and the Kalemegdan fortress, to which this street just leads.
The official website of the Belgrade airport is https://www.beg.aero/. There you can see the schedule, traffic patterns and check the current ticket prices.

First impressions of Belgrade
So, at the airport, I took a bus and went to the city.
Before the trip, I read reviews about Belgrade, how beautiful and interesting it is, but the city buildings that float in front of my eyes outside the windows of the bus did not confirm this in any way. On the contrary, after the cozy Ljubljana (the capital of Slovenia), after the perky, brave (the capital of Croatia), Belgrade looked unkempt and neglected. From a prosperous Euro-society, I moved to a half-Asian - half-gypsy city. But not so long ago all these cities belonged to one country - Yugoslavia.
A different standard of living was felt both by the appearance of the streets and by the clothes of the inhabitants. The uniforms of young girls are tight jeans, sneakers and T-shirts. Many of the men wore tracksuits.
First, the bus drove through Novi Belgrade, then across the Brankova bridge crossed the Sava river - we moved to the Old Town. But outside the windows, little has changed.
Next to me was my grandfather, who spoke Russian well. He suggested which stop to get off at ("Zeleni Venac").
Came out. It's dirty at the bus stop, scary in the underpass.
I got to Teraziye, a wide central street, the main decoration of which is the Moscow hotel - a building in the “secession” style.
The Teraziyskaya Chesma fountain, built by Italians in 1860, stands next to the Moskva hotel.
Other houses on Terazije look gloomy.
Prince Michael Street
Knez Michael Street started from Teraziye - a wide pedestrian street with solid houses. The picture has changed dramatically. I was inspired and prepared to admire.
Indeed, on Kneza Michael Street, there are many architecturally remarkable buildings, built in the 70s and 80s of the 19th century (all the same "secession", the influence of Vienna and Budapest).
There are benches in the middle of the street.
The wires are woven into spider webs
The street, which is stricter and more formal at the beginning, closer to Kalemegdan Park is filled with tables of summer cafes.
As a result, Kneza Mihaila Street became for me the most remarkable and beautiful place in Belgrade.
By the way, the city itself was born on this place: here was the center of the Roman settlement of Singidunum.
Belgrade fortress Kalemegdan
Kneza Michael Street took me to the main attraction of Belgrade - Kalemegdan Park and the Belgrade Fortress. It was a Sunday day, and many people were walking in the park and around the fortress.
In Turkish, Kalemegdan means the field between the fortress and the city (another interpretation is the battlefield). Kale is a fortress, Megdan (Maidan) is a field.
A tall cliff (125 m) at the confluence of the Sava River with the Danube and a wide plateau above is an ideal place for a fortress, and the first fortress was erected here by the Romans in the 1st century AD. Then the fortress grew, strengthened, rebuilt with each new owner. And the owners changed very often.
The whole history of these places is an endless series of battles, destruction and rebirth. Romans, Huns, Byzantium, Avars, Slavs, Hungarians, Bulgarians. 1284 - for the first time the city was ruled by the Serbs (briefly and alternating with the Hungarians). From 1521 - now the Turks, then the Austrians. 1867 - Belgrade finally became Serbian. During the First World War it was occupied by Austria-Hungary. 1918 - Belgrade is declared the capital of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
1941 - bombed by the Germans. 1944 - bombed by the allies. 1999 - bombed by the Americans. Just some kind of rock.
Nowadays the park in front of the fortress and the Belgrade fortress itself are called Kalemegdan. The fortress consists of two parts: the upper part is located on the plateau, then there is a sharp descent to the bottom of the hill, and there, near the Danube, is the lower part of the fortress. The fortress was built of bricks. Although the diagram shows it with white stone walls.
For the Serbs, this place is significant in that it was here in 1867 that the Turks admitted their final defeat and handed over the city to the Serbs. The Turkish sultan handed over the keys to the fortress to Prince Mikhail Obrenovic, and now there is a monument to the Delivery of the Keys of the Belgrade Fortress on this site. Prince Michael is a key figure in Serbian history.
There is also such an expressive monument in front of the fortress, erected as a sign of gratitude to France for helping in the First World War.
To get to the fortress from the side of the park, you need to go through three gates.
First, cross the bridge to the ravelin - a triangular fortification in front of the main gate.
Tennis courts are now located in the ravelin moat.
From the ravelin we go to the Istanbul gate. But that's not all.
The space between the second and third walls is filled with military equipment. The military museum is located in the fortress, and some of the equipment is exhibited in the moat under the fortress walls.
There is a cash register inside the wall. You can walk around the fortress for free, but there are several objects on the territory of Kalemegdan, to visit which you need to buy a ticket. These are the Sahat and Neboisha towers, a Roman well and a powder store. A single ticket costs 400 dinars (~ 240 rubles).
The first paid object is located right at the entrance to the fortress - this is Sahat kula, or the Clock Tower.
It is necessary to climb the fortress wall, and then climb the tower. However, Sakhat kula is not high.
From it you can clearly see the section of the wall near the main gate.
This is how the Military Museum looks brutal:
View of the War Museum
The park continues inside the fortress. Walking along it, all the time you come across the remains of foundations, fragments of buildings.
The upper part of the fortress ends with a parapet along the edge of the cliff, from where the lower part of the fortress, the Sava and Danube rivers and Bolshoi Ratny Island lying opposite the fortress are clearly visible.
The Danube in Belgrade is viscous, full-flowing, imposing. That summer my travels brought me to the banks of the Danube several times, from and to. Near Vienna, the river is young and agile, in Budapest the Danube is gaining solidity, in Belgrade it is powerful and dignified.
If you walk along the edge of the cliff to the right, then you get to the Despot Gate.
Despot Gate
The gate is named after the despot Stefan Lazarevich.
For us, the word "despot" is akin to "tyrant", but among the ancient Greeks it meant "lord, master." The Serbian state in the 16-17 centuries was called “Serbian despotism”. Stefan Lazarevich became the first despot of this state.
The intersection of our languages allows us to understand the inscriptions and even sometimes figure out something. But to our ears, the Serbian language seems simple and a little naive. For example, the names on the city map: "monument to Vasya Charapich", "Captain-Mishino building", "pawnshop zone".
Behind the Despot Gate is a moat, across which a long wooden bridge is thrown.
The bridge leads to the most powerful gate of the Belgrade fortress - the Zindan gate built in 1450.
From them begins a cobblestone passage, sandwiched between two fortress walls, leading to a low, corner tower.
Having passed this fortified corner with three towers, we come out to a picturesque part of the park.
To the right of the wall is the Belgrade Zoo.
On the left, just below the fortress walls, on a small platform in the middle of the slope, there are the Ruzica Church and the Chapel of St. Paraskeva Pyatnitsa (Svete Petke). This is a whole complex, albeit very compact, including, in addition to the church and the chapel, a gallery and a covered colonnade.
Perhaps this is the most populous place in the fortress. In the Church of Ruzica, the people stood close to each other. However, it is also small in size.
Paintings and mosaics - in an unusual manner for us. They resemble illustrations in children's fairy tales.
This is the kind of Jesus: snub-nosed, rustic, with huge eyes.
From the church complex, the path goes down to the lower part of the fortress.
We pass by the former Turkish hamam,
past the gates of Charles VI,
past the guardhouse to the Nebojsi Tower, the second museum object included in the ticket.
I approached this tower just in time, because in an instant the weather turned bad: the heavenly abysses opened up, and a downpour gushed out.
There is a museum in the Neboisha tower, it has several levels and floors and is dedicated to the Turkish period of the fortress.
Once the Nebojsa tower had customs functions and regulated the passage of ships to the city - the end of a chain was attached to the tower, blocking the passage through the river. It was also used as a prison.
The downpour lasted so long that for some time I myself felt like a prisoner of Neboisha.
Finally, tired of wandering around the tower, I went out into the rain and went to the other end of the lower fortifications. The climb began, and soon I was already entering the arches of the Gunpowder Warehouse - the third object of the museum ticket. The powder store resembled catacombs and was filled mainly with sarcophagi and gravestones.
From the Powder Warehouse, a cobblestone staircase led up to the upper level of the fortress.
I again found myself at the top, already in the southern part of the fortress. Here, a monument in the form of a naked man on a high pedestal pillar dominated the area. This composition was called "Winner". Installed in 1928 in honor of the victory at Solunya in 1918.
A wide view of New Belgrade and Sava was opened from the Pobednik.
Near the observation deck, almost buried in the ground, there was a dome - and this turned out to be the fourth museum object: a Roman well, which simply amazed me with its power.
For a while, you approach it as if in a spiral.
There is a dome above the well (a similar dome was above the Turkish one).
The shaft of the well goes into the depths of the hill.
All in all, the well is impressive. "What the Romans!" - I admired. And then I read that the well was rebuilt by the Austrians in 1717 during the reconstruction of the fortress. Well 60 meters deep. Two spiral staircases around it descend to a depth of 35 meters.

Nikola Tesla International Airport (Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd) is located 18 kilometers from the capital of Serbia - Belgrade, and 12 kilometers from the main railway station of the city. This is not only the main airport in the country, but also the busiest of all airports in the former Yugoslavia - in addition to Serbia, now it is Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia.
Belgrade Airport is divided into two terminals, connected by a corridor, and is the hub, that is, the hub airport, for the national airline of Serbia - Air Serbia. Also Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd is used by such popular low-fire as Wizz Air.
The official website of the airport is www.beg.aero.
From the airport to Belgrade
If you are planning to get to the city by taxi, then keep in mind that the cost of the trip is not determined by the distance, but by the zone of Belgrade you need. There are only six of them. The price can vary from 14 to 60 euros. You can familiarize yourself with the prices in more detail.
Important: all payments in Serbia are made in national currency - dinars, which can be easily exchanged either at the airport, or, if you have a bank card, at any ATM. The euro to dinar rate is approximately 1: 120.
Apart from the taxi service, the most convenient and cheapest way to get to the center of Belgrade is, of course, by bus. And there are two options.
The first is the city bus number 72. The ticket will cost 89 dinars if bought at the kiosk. As befits public transport, this bus makes many stops along the way. It can also get crowded, so you shouldn't expect a comfortable ride. The final stop of the bus is in the central area of Zeleni Venac, near the vegetable market. More information about the route of the bus number 72 - http://www.eway.rs/en/cities/beograd/routes/72.
To find the cheapest flights to Nikola Tesla airport, it is better to use the international service Skyscanner, which will select the most suitable options for you.
The second option is more preferable. This is a small shuttle bass A1. And although the trip on it will cost more (300 dinars), this route is attractive because on the way to Belgrade the shuttle bus makes only three stops: in the new district of the city of Fontana, near the railway station and on Slavia Square, which is in the central part of the city. ... The bus departs according to the timetable, which can be viewed.
Finding stop A1 is very easy. At the exit from the airport building, turn left, and literally after 10 steps you will see the stop of this mini-bus with a corresponding stand. Tickets can be bought from the driver. Travel time will take approximately half an hour.
The transport network of Belgrade is represented by all kinds of land transport: buses, trams, trolleybuses, minibuses and taxis. Urban public transport includes about 150 bus and several trolleybus and tram routes. Moreover, a significant share of transport belongs to the City Transport Company "Beograd", and the share of private carriers is small. There are also about 20 night bus routes that operate from midnight to 4 am.
Tickets and fares
Since February 1, 2015, the fares for public transport in Belgrade have changed. A one-time pass purchased from the driver now costs 150 dinars. Public transport is cheaper if you purchase an e-ticket from a newsstand rather than from the driver. Such tickets are called BusPlus, they cost 40 dinars and are of three types:
— for a day - 250 dinars
- For a three days- 700 dinars
— for five days- 1000 dinars
Important: the card is replenished only once! Check the current prices on the Bus Plus website.
When punching a ticket on a tram, bus or trolleybus, you must indicate which card you pay with. Having entered the transport, attach the card to the electronic terminal, this will mean that you have registered in the system, and 89 dinars will be debited from the card - the price for 90 minutes of travel. At each change, you will need to bring the card to the terminal at the entrance again so that it is “marked” in the carriage system. The cards do not work on night routes. The ticket is purchased from the driver.
Minibuses-minibuses (minibuses) are more comfortable than conventional buses and are equipped with air conditioning. They are designated by the letter E and run on 8 routes. Trolleybus routes serve the eastern part of Belgrade and the historic city center. And on tram routes you can get to the new district of Belgrade.
If you are caught by the controllers on a stowaway, and you can't get out of it with any evasions, you will have to come to terms with your fate and pay a fine of 6,000 dinars. In some cases, a receipt is issued that allows you to pay the fine within 15 days.
Buses
Bus stops in Belgrade are numbered. To find out. when a particular bus arrives at the stop you need, it is enough to send a request from a mobile phone - * 011 * stop number # - you will receive an SMS with information. The stops on the night routes do not always coincide with the day routes, so be careful. By the way, BusPlus cards do not work on these routes, you need to buy a ticket from the conductor for 150 dinars for the city and 210 dinars for the suburbs.
Belgrade International Airport - the largest and busiest airport in Serbia - receives flights from all over Europe, Russia and some Asian countries. Therefore, we decided to study in detail all the ways how to get from Belgrade airport to the city center.

Taxi from Belgrade airport
From Belgrade Airport by taxi, you can easily get to anywhere in the city and the immediate vicinity. You can try to catch a car at the exit from the terminal building or order it in advance for your flight via the Internet.
The second method is often cheaper, since a rare taxi driver will resist the temptation to raise the price for a tourist. When ordering online, the possibility of manipulating tariffs is reduced to zero: the service calculates the cost of the trip even before the actual payment, and "add on the spot" will no longer work.
If necessary, you can order a car with pre-installed seats for children, and if you have a lot of things with you - a car with a spacious trunk. The driver meets his passengers at the exit from the arrivals area with a sign where their names are indicated.
Another plus of ordering a taxi online is taking into account the possible delay or cancellation of the flight. The taxi service independently monitors the airport board and sends the car exactly to the arrival of the plane.
