By car
A car is the most flexible option: you leave when you want, luggage is not a problem, and it works for early-morning and late-night flights too. If you are leaving your car for several days, compare airport parking and private parking with a transfer.
Traveling by car?
Parking 1 km from the terminal, from 250 RSD a day, transfer to the terminal in under 2 minutes, pay on return.
By bus 72
Line 72 runs from Zeleni venac to the airport and stops in Novi Beograd and Surčin. Since January 1, 2025, public transport in Belgrade has been free, including this line. It is slower than minibus A1 because it has more stops. At night, line 72N runs from Trg republike.
By minibus A1
A1 runs between Slavija and the airport, with one stop at Fontana in Novi Beograd. The ticket is 400 RSD and is paid to the driver in cash. It is a faster option than the bus, but it does not run all night.
By taxi
A taxi is practical when no one can drive you. At the airport, at the official taxi stand, zone prices apply; for a ride to the airport, check the price with the operator.
What is best for you
