TAXI
For the use of taxi services from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport to any destination in Belgrade area, please contact the city service TAXI INFO desk, located in the baggage reclaim area. If this one is not working, there is one located immediately after you exit the baggage reclaim area, right next to the exit door.
Be aware to NOT take a taxi from anyone who approaches you – they usually charge much more. Please take a taxi receipt at the information desk – it should state your end destination in Belgrade and the ride price. The price is fixed (1800 dinars for any location in the city center). See more info about the taxi here.
Minibus
A1 is the only bus frin the airport to the city center. This bus has a couple of stops before it reaches its final destination, Square Slavija. Slavija is well-connected with the rest of the city and you can take public transport or a taxi from there.
The price for the ride is 150RSD (~1.2 euros).
