Travel to Serbia
Belgrade international airport is the major air hub of the country. It is located 12 km west of Belgrade and it offers direct routes to most European cities. Many major European airlines, as well as several low-cost companies, fly regularly from Belgrade. The national air carrier is Air Serbia. There is also a smaller airport in the city of Niš in the south of Serbia, with a much lower number of flights.
All major Serbian cities have regular bus connections to cities in the region, as well as with major cities in Central and Western Europe (especially in Germany, Italy, and France). The country’s main bus hub is located in Belgrade.
For those who prefer trains, the infrastructure has not been well-maintained in Serbia during the last two decades, making it a slower mean of transportation, but usually more budget-friendly. Serbia Railways offers regular lines connecting the largest cities within the country, as well as international lines to Hungary, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia.
