Belgrade Airport - what to do with a long connection? From Belgrade airport to the city and back - all ways Bus schedule a1 in Belgrade.

General impressions of Nikola Tesla Airport are mostly positive. I think it's because of the staff. The girl at the luggage check-in desk was motherly caring and fussy in a good way with almost all passengers on the Belgrade-Moscow flight. Even the most brazen ones. Yes, there is also a downside - a hefty queue has accumulated, many have begun to chug, and someone even climbed out of the queue, explaining their ridiculous actions by fear of not being on time or confusion (in their understanding) with the baggage check-in and check-in counters (note: drop off means check-in baggage of already registered passengers, check in - check-in of all passengers). What can I say ... We are such a people, well, what can we do ... Of course, everyone loaded onto the plane and no one was left behind. By the way, I flew with Aeroflot.

On a note. When leaving Serbia, the border guards do not put a stamp in the passport. Do not worry and run in a panic with a passport around the airport 🙂

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 and the drivers are friendly. Today it is the most convenient budget way to get from the airport to the city. The bus starts from Slavia Square (the stop is right opposite the entrance to the Slavija Hotel) and goes through the main railway station with a stop for 2-3 minutes. Further 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: A 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 when you get on the bus).

Full bus schedule A1

In addition to the direct bus A1, there is scheduled bus No. 72. Most a budget option. On the way, it makes absolutely all the stops, and the travel time during peak hours can be more than an hour. Payment can only be made in cash directly to 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 time is short (5-6 hours). In this case, it is better to take a taxi or book 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 you cannot do without a transfer with this option.

Taxi Belgrade - airport

At the exit from the arrivals area terminal, there is an official taxi stand on the left. The cost is about 2000 dinars (about 1000 rubles). Travel time will take approximately 20 minutes.

English 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, take 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 change euros / dollars or rubles for Serbian dinars. Similarly with a child seat - you fill in the appropriate field at the booking stage.

You can check the prices and place an order below, through the corresponding widget of the KiwiTaxi website - an international service for booking transfers.

Car rental at Belgrade airport

I would call car rental rates in Serbia average (although, of course, depending on what to compare with). If you arrive at the airport with three or four people, then it makes sense to rent a car and drive around the city. Renting a car also makes sense if you only have a transfer in Belgrade and there is not much time.

Through the widget of the Rentalcars website (an aggregator of rental companies), you can check prices in real time. 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 delve into the tricks of each particular rental.

Belgrade Airport - overview

Arrival and departure zones

Here is such a cozy restaurant located to the right of the entrance to terminal 1. The summer terrace (pictured) is open during the warm season.

Cozy cafe on the open veranda near the airport

When entering the Belgrade airport, the absence of a metal detector frame immediately catches your eye. I don’t know if this is good or bad, but for those who like to arrive 10 minutes before the end of registration, this fact cannot but rejoice.

Terminal 1 - departure area

Passage to passport control (for those departing from Belgrade)

Services at the airport

The most useful of the free services, I would call floor scales, which are located right at the entrance to terminal 1 on the right (next to the currency exchange machine and luggage packing). Before checking in baggage, you can see its actual weight and shift something if the weight exceeds the one established by a particular airline.

Cozy cafes in the terminal building

Baggage packing counters are located both immediately at the entrance to Terminal 1 (on the right) and at the entrance to Terminal 2.

Prices: luggage packing will cost 450 dinars. Only cash is accepted for payment. Opening hours: from 4:30 to 18:00.

Luggage Packing Desk

The children's playground was nominally there, in fact it did not work. Perhaps this is temporary.

Indoor children's playground

After passport control, duty-free shops, souvenir boutiques and the like are available to passengers. Prices are jacked up (as in any other airport), the range is mediocre. On the shelves of such shops you can even find icons. In general, I got the impression that in Serbia with sovereigns, well, somehow not very ...

Duty free shops in the transit area

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 did not find ATMs at the Belgrade airport directly in the arrival / departure areas. So, getting cash on a bank card at the airport after passing the border (this is if you fly to Belgrade) can be a little problematic. There are ATMs in the transit zone, and if you plan to go out into the city for a short time, then it is better to withdraw cash there, before passing through border control. There is an exchanger in the arrivals area, but it works from 10 am.

The salvation of the "drowning" can be an automatic exchange machine for Serbian dinars. The principle of operation is as follows: you insert euros, dollars or even rubles into the bill acceptor at once in one bundle in the amount that the terminal shows on the screen (i.e. the amount that it can physically issue, having certain banknotes available at a particular moment time), press "confirm" and take the money with a check. It is not possible to withdraw money from a bank card here.

The main nuance is that this machine simply does not have 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 work hard. In this case, I advise you to order a transfer to the city (they will meet you with a sign with your last 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 change them back to 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 at any available exchange. Taxi drivers are quite willing to accept euros, so sometimes you won't really need to exchange at the airport.

Currency exchange machine - located at the exit of terminal 1 on the left

Smoking area

I didn’t notice any special places, or even more so smoking rooms, like at the Nicola Testa airport. Smoking is allowed (at least everyone did) right in front of the terminal entrance, so you can safely check in for your flight or just check in your luggage (if you checked in online) and go outside to smoke before the flight. Personally, I do not smoke and I do not 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 in a hotel and return back at the right time. If you are still afraid of something or you have a boarding pass for only one leg of the route, then you can go to the so-called transfer desk to get a second boarding pass or clarify the necessary information. Everything is going very well.

Apart Hotel K (average price 40 euros for a double room, breakfast included)

Overnight at Belgrade Airport

When transferring in Belgrade, you can spend the whole night at the airport. However, there is a better option. Buses from / to the airport run at night every hour, and therefore you can use the machine for exchanging euros / dollars / rubles for dinars and drive 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 (you can’t find the entrance if you don’t know about it in advance) and therefore there is a very unusual atmosphere there. Along with ordinary bars, in secret apartments you can drink coffee, a foamy drink or even strong alcohol.

He knows the secret passages here (Russian guy Vasily is a resident of Belgrade), who will help you get into the apartments by organizing a real tour of the most interesting places. Go, you won't regret it! The tour is booked online in advance and paid in rubles.

What else can you do when transplanting

If the transfer is daytime, then it is quite possible to have time to go on a city tour. Perhaps this is the maximum in terms of the usefulness of the time spent. Basically, all day trips are 3 or 4 hours long, so there will still be time to eat (I wrote about places recommended by me), and to take a walk.

In the article I will tell you how to get to the city from Belgrade Airport. I will share all the ways, of which there are few. There are three of them: public transport, taxi or car (own / rented). I will tell you about the nuances with buses, the cost of a taxi and parking at the airport, and also tell you how to get from the airport to the hotel for less than 1 euro. going to international Airport"Nikola Tesla Belgrade" or, on the contrary, from it? Then you are at the right place.

If you decide to get from Nikola Tesla Airport to the center of Belgrade by public transport, then you have two options.

Express A1.
Bus number 72.

The A1 bus costs 300 dinars per person one way (the BusPlus card is not valid in it). The ticket is purchased from the driver. Travel time is 30 minutes. The bus runs in the direction of Belgrade Airport - Slavia Square (Serb. Trg Slavija) almost without stops. I know for sure that it stops at the Railway Station (the bus station is also located there). Perhaps the driver can stop somewhere at your request, but not sure.

From 08:00 to 18:00, the bus leaves the airport every 20 minutes, at other times - once or twice an hour. It runs from early morning until late at night (a break in traffic is two hours - from 03:00 to 05:00).

At the airport, the A1 bus stop is very easy to find. It is located almost at the exit from the arrivals area.

Bus number 72 is a regular city flight departing from Belgrade from the Zeleni Venac market near and going to Nikola Tesla Airport. Travel time is 40-50 minutes. The fare is 89 dinars on the BusPlus card (zone 2), 150 dinars if you buy a ticket from the driver. In the autumn of 2018, Belgrade public transport has the opportunity to pay with a direct bank card (no need to take Bus Plus). But I couldn’t pay with a card (Alfa-Bank, Russia).

The bus ride takes longer, but its advantage is that, having a BusPlus card, you can transfer to another type of public transport within 90 minutes after validation. For example, I lived for. Arrived by plane, got on the bus number 72, drove to Zeleni venac. I got off the bus, went up to Terazii Square, got on bus number 26 and drove home. And I paid for everything about everything 89 dinars.

Details about public transport in Belgrade, about BusPlus and fares.

At Belgrade Airport, bus number 72 stops on the upper tier.

From Belgrade airport by taxi

The Nikola Tesla Airport website provides official taxi rates. The price is fixed, divided into zones. For example, in Novi Beograd and a taxi from the airport will cost 1,400 dinars (14 euros), and in the center of Belgrade - 1,800 dinars (18 euros). If they call prices higher, do not agree. Better yet, book a transfer online in advance. It costs a little higher, but the driver will meet you at the airport with a sign, a meeting guarantee is 100%.

From Belgrade airport by car

The distance between Belgrade Airport and the city center is 18 kilometers. The two points are connected by a wide modern highway, there are all the necessary signs, it is difficult to get lost even without a navigator.

There are racks of international rental offices at Belgrade Airport, but I recommend not to look for an offer on their websites, but to compare prices in one place. Just keep in mind that there are very few cars with automatic transmission in Serbia, and their rent is usually almost twice as high.

There is a large parking lot at the airport. Parking directly at the terminal costs 100 dinars per hour. Paid at a special kiosk, which operates on the territory of the parking lot.

If you are flying to Belgrade from Moscow and driving to the airport in your own car, then the information about parking at the capital's airports will also be relevant. For example, you can book a parking lot at Domodedovo using the link. On the same resource, it is possible to book a parking space at other airports in Moscow.

If you are flying from Belgrade for a few days and there is a need to leave your car in the parking lot at the airport, then another parking lot is intended for this. It is located 300 meters from the terminal. 1 day in the parking lot costs 800 dinars.

Are you planning to visit Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, a city located at the confluence of two rivers - the Danube and the Sava? If so, then I will try to tell you about the main attractions of the city, where it is better to stay, take a walk, and where to go for a delicious meal and a little drink. In general - "Welcome to Belgrade" or, as the Serbs say, "Welcome to Beograd!"

Visa, insurance, local currency

To visit Serbia, Russian citizens need a valid passport, no visa required. The period of stay in the country without leaving is limited to 30 days if you have an ordinary passport, and 90 days if you are a lucky holder of a diplomatic or service passport.

Medical insurance for tourist trips to Serbia is not needed. But I do not recommend going abroad without its registration. Having an insurance policy will help you avoid significant financial expenses in the event of unforeseen medical expenses during your trip. The personally verified Cherehapa service will help you compare offers of insurance companies and quickly issue a policy via the Internet.

Currency- Serbian dinar. 1₽ corresponds to 1.71 dinars. 1€ is equal to 118.5 dinars. The current exchange rate of the dinar against other currencies is available at website of the National Bank of Serbia. In the "Datum (dd.mm)" field, enter the date, and in the "Vrsta" field, select "Srednji kurs".

Where and how is it more profitable to buy dinars? If you have a Visa or Mastercard bank card from Sberbank, the best way to get dinars is to withdraw from an ATM at the local branch of Sberbank. ATM locations on the map of Belgrade are shown here. There is no transaction fee.

If you are an Intesa cardholder, you can receive cash without commission at Banca Intesa ATMs.

In the absence of Sberbank or Intesa bank payment cards, you can cash out money at any ATM, there are many of them in the center of Belgrade, but most likely you will have to pay a withdrawal fee.

There is also a VTB branch and ATM in Belgrade, I saw it next to the Moskva Hotel, but here they take a commission, even when using their bank cards.

How to get to Belgrade?

By plane. This is the most obvious and fastest way to be in Belgrade. On the route Moscow (SVO) - Belgrade (BEG) - Moscow (SVO) Aeroflot and Air Serbia carry out regular flights. The duration of the flight is 2 hours 30 minutes. Despite the fact that there are quite a lot of direct flights, the cost of air tickets from Moscow to Belgrade and back is on average more than 15 thousand rubles. The price of a ticket for a flight with a transfer can be 2000-3000 rubles lower (often found at the Turkish low-cost airline Pegasus with a long connection in Istanbul), but most likely, during the transfer you will spend more than you saved on tickets.

In 2018, Air Serbia again included a direct flight from Belgrade to St. Petersburg and back in its summer schedule. Flights are operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and the travel time is 2 hours 40 minutes.

You can find cheap flights to Belgrade on the reliable website aviasales.ru, as well as through the form below.

Airport "Nikola Tesla Belgrade". How to get to the city center?

Nikola Tesla Belgrade International Airport, located 18 km west of the center of the Serbian capital, is the country's largest air harbor. Since 2006, it has been named after the famous physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla. Previously, it was named after its location - "Belgrade Airport" or "Surcin Airfield".

At Belgrade Airport, pre-flight screening is carried out at the exit before boarding.

In the inner area there is a smoking room located in the area of gate A6.

There are three ways to get from the airport to the city:

on a special express
by city bus
by taxi.

Express. Bus A1 follows the route airport - Belgrade railway station (Nemajina street) - Slavia square. The stop is located to the left of the exit from the airport building. The fare is 300 dinars, payment to the driver. Travel time is about 30 minutes. On Slavia Square, the A1 express train stops near the hotel of the same name.

The schedule of the bus A1 on the route Nikola Tesla Airport - Slavia Square

City bus. Bus 72 departs from the stop located near the entrance to terminal 1: exit the arrivals area, go up the stairs or escalator on the left to the second floor (check-in hall, terminal 2), go outside and go left for 40 meters. City bus 72 follows the route Airport "Nikola Tesla Belgrade" - "Zeleni Venac", right in the center of Belgrade. The cost of a ticket from the driver is 150 dinars, when paying with a Bus Plus card, 89 dinars. Travel time is 35-40 minutes, but it depends heavily on traffic.

Timetable for bus 72 on the route Nikola Tesla Airport - Zeleni Venac

Taxi. Here, as in other airports, there are many taxi drivers who want to cash in on arriving tourists. The normal price from the airport to the city center is €15, to Zemun – €10. Approximately this cost of the trip was set by the airport management for official carriers. You can order a car at a special “Taxi info” desk located in the baggage claim area. The exact cost of the trip, depending on the destination, can be viewed at the link. Please note that it is much more profitable to pay in dinars than in euros.

Another option is to independently negotiate with a taxi driver who has just brought passengers from the city at the bus stop of route 72, but the price difference will not be large.

If you do not speak Serbian or English, arrive late or travel with a group or with children (when a child seat is required), use the services of the international transfer order service - KiwiTaxi and order a taxi online. The driver will meet you at the exit from the arrivals area with a name plate and take you to a pre-specified place without any questions.

Note! At Belgrade airport pre-flight screening carried out in front of the boarding gates themselves. Therefore, in order not to overpay for drinks in a cafe located outside the border control, you can buy them at the airport kiosks in front of it and bring them to the waiting area. By the way, before a night flight to Moscow, most of the shops at the airport are already closed, but in the depths of terminal 1 (the entrance is opposite the bus stop on route 72), on the way to the toilet, you will find a working one.

Public transport: payment methods

Belgrade has a well-developed public transport network. On the streets of the city you will find buses, trolleybuses and trams.

To pay for the fare, you need to purchase a paper (40 dinars) or plastic (250 dinars) BusPlus smart card at any of the street kiosks and top it up there. The paper version is perfect for tourists, because the card can be topped up for the number of days spent in Belgrade - 1, 3 or 5, and the number of trips during this period is not limited. Please note that the time of the ticket begins to "tick" from the moment of purchase at the kiosk, and not the first time you apply it to the validator. Price:

1 day - 250 + 40 (card) dinars;
3 days - 700 + 40 (card) dinars;
5 days - 1000 + 40 (card) dinars.

Prices are for movement in 1 and 2 zones, which cover Belgrade and the nearest settlements. For example, the airport belongs to the 2nd second transport zone. A graphical diagram of the zones is available here.

The BusPlus plastic card is an electronic wallet, that is, they put money in, they put the card on the validator in transport, the fare 89 dinars (1.2 zones) was written off. The card can be used for group trips. To do this, before paying for the fare, select the “Group Card” icon on the validator and indicate the number of people from 2 to 5, then attach the card.

Group trip on the BusPlus card

The current fare for public transport is available at BusPlus official website.

If you do not have a BusPlus card, then pay the driver for the fare. The ticket price will be 150 dinars.

To plan a route from point A to point B by public transport, I recommend using the site planplus.rs. Click on the arrows to the right of the search form, select the bus. Then, using the right button on the map itself, you can mark the point of departure and arrival, and the service will plot the route by public transport.

Metro. It's like it exists, but it's like it doesn't. The project just stalled. Now the metro in Belgrade consists of 2 underground stations Vukov Spomenik on Roosevelt Street and Karagorev Park near the Cathedral of St. Sava, through which electric trains pass. Trains run at 1–2 per hour, so if you want to ride, check the timetable on the Srbija Voz website in advance.

Taxi. There are many official taxi companies in Belgrade. Their difference from illegal ones is the presence of a taximeter, as well as information on transportation tariffs. Usually taxi drivers wait for clients on busy streets, central squares and in the area shopping centers. You can also try to stop the car with a wave of your hand, and if the driver is free, he will stop. Before getting into the car, check the approximate cost of the trip.

The most reliable way to order a taxi in Belgrade is to call the operator who will send the car and announce the cost of the trip in advance, or use the smartphone application.

The promotion itself is valid only for 10 bookings, so hurry up to use it. Well, the link itself: https://www.booking.com/s/35_6/d5f6d311. If bookings are still available, you will see at the bottom of the screen:

Every time I plan a trip to a new city for myself, the second question, after buying tickets, is - where is it better to stay, so that it is not very expensive, and not far from the sights? The best place residence in Belgrade is the city center - the area of the pedestrian street of Knez Mihail, Terazija and Kralja Milana to the intersection with Knez Milos street. This area was marked on the map published at the end of the article. There is accommodation for everyone here: there are apartments and hotels of different price categories, as well as budget hostels.

Hotels in Belgrade

To select a hotel, I recommend using the Booking.com website. To cut off options located outside the city center, check the box "Stari grad" on the left. But do not forget, after choosing a hotel, be sure to compare the cost of living in different booking systems, as the price can vary significantly. To do this, use the special service RoomGuru.

I will take it upon myself to recommend the best hotels to stay in the center of Belgrade from different price groups: above 100 euros, 50–100 euros and less than 50 euros per night in a standard double room.

Hotels over 100 €/night

Boutique Hotel Townhouse 27 is a modern boutique hotel located on a quiet street in the center of Belgrade. Spacious rooms, impeccable service, friendly staff and excellent breakfast, as a result, the highest rating of the guests in the Booking.com system.
Zepter Hotel is a stylish hotel located in the very center, on Terasia, at the beginning of the pedestrian street of Prince Michael. For accommodation are offered spacious, comfortable, well-equipped rooms. The hotel has a gym and breakfast is included. The cost of standard rooms is slightly lower than in Townhouse 27, plus there are often special offers.
Square Nine Hotel Belgrade is the only five-star hotel located in the center of Belgrade, just 50 meters from Knez Mihail Street. The luxury hotel boasts its spa complex, which includes a swimming pool with sea water, sauna and hammam, spacious rooms and a good breakfast.

Hotels from 50 to 100 €/night

Hotel City Savoy is a new four-star hotel in the city center. Clean modern comfortable rooms, good breakfast, small spa and friendly staff. The best option according to reviews on Booking.com among hotels in this price category.
Hotel Bohemian Garni is located on one of the most popular streets of Belgrade - Skadarlija. It is here that the most famous national restaurants of the Serbian capital are located. The hotel offers modern, spacious rooms with an interesting design. The cost of living is less than 60 euros, the location, and also good feedback guests make this option very tempting.
Hotel Opera is a good hotel in the very center of the city - between Republic Square and Skadarliya. Clean, comfortable rooms with great bathrooms. Friendly staff. Excellent value for money.

Hotels under 50 €/night

Hotel Garni Petrov is the only hotel located in the recommended central part of the city and corresponding to this price range. Located on Cetinska Street a little further from Republic Square than Hotel City Savoy, on the site of a former brewery. Now there are many clubs and discos. If you plan to walk a lot and sleep early, then the place is clearly not suitable for you, but if you “light it up”, then feel free to book it. The hotel offers roomy double or triple rooms at a very good price.
Hotel Tash Belgrade - located next to the Tashmaydan park in the building of a sports center. Please note that smoking and non-smoking rooms are available at the hotel. Which one you want, you need to specify in the comments when booking. Low price and location are the main advantages of the Tash Hotel in Belgrade.

Hotel Slavija - or "the last of the Mohicans". Old hotel, some of the rooms have not been renovated for a long time. But the cost is from 16 and 30 euros for single and double rooms, respectively, the location - Slavia Square, and a hot breakfast make it a pretty good and very budget place where you can spend a couple of nights. Near the hotel there is an A1 express stop, which follows from / to the airport, so it is very convenient to get there. One of the main sights of Belgrade, the Cathedral of St. Sava, is a 5-minute walk away.

Note! In the warm season in Belgrade, you can stay in an interesting place, right on the river - in a hotel or hostel located on the famous Belgrade rafts - pontoons in the area where the Sava merges with the Danube. The advantages of such accommodation are nature, fresh air and beautiful view out of the window. And all this is very close to the center, to which you can walk even on foot. Interesting? Pay your attention to San Art Floating Hostel & Apartments, ArkaBarka 2- Floating Dream Apartments and their hostel.

I would like to say about one more hotel - Royal Hotel. It is located in the very center, next to Knyaz Mihail Street and Kalemegdan. It was possible to stay there at the price of Slavia, it was especially advantageous to take a double room. But now this hotel is closed for repairs, and when it opens and what it will be like, is not known.

Apartments, apartments

You can also rent apartments, rent an apartment in Belgrade through Booking.com, there are a lot of options - on the left in the "Popular" block, select "Stariy grad", and "Accommodation type" - "Apartments". There's a lot here good options up to €50 per night.

The second option is to use the Airbnb service. By the way, if you haven’t registered there yet, then do it at www.airbnb.ru/c/226361 and get a 1500₽ discount on your first booking. Here are some interesting accommodation options:

https://www.airbnb.ru/rooms/11818894
https://www.airbnb.ru/rooms/11766351
https://www.airbnb.ru/rooms/5353317
https://www.airbnb.ru/rooms/1814331

Please read the reviews and conditions carefully before booking. I recommend booking accommodation with hosts with the status of Superhost.

Another option is local sites offering apartments for rent. Booked twice when visiting the city with a group of three people. The application was sent in Russian. Both apartments were clean and comfortable. But I also ran into a few problems. We were not met at the airport, although we ordered a transfer. I had to call to find out the exact address where to go. Wi-fi did not work, most likely, it was simply not paid. They did not respond to SMS on this issue, but simply apologized upon departure.

Feel free to book an apartment if you are not afraid - possible small overlaps and the expectation of the owners, you arrived in Belgrade for more than one day in the amount of 2 or more people, and also want to live in the city center at an affordable price.

What to see in Belgrade: the main attractions of the historical part of the city

In this section of the guide article, I will share a tourist route in the central part of the city. I'll tell you about interesting places and monuments that you can visit, see in Belgrade in 1-2 days. I will also recommend where else to go, go if you plan to stay longer in the capital of Serbia.

Excursion route, walk in the center of Belgrade

Start your tour of Belgrade with Republic Square (Trg Republic) is the central and one of the most popular places among locals. Installed here Monument to Serbian Prince Mikhail Obrenovic, right on it National Museum Serbia (Folk Museum), and on the right hand, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, - National Theater (Folk shame).

Go to the central pedestrian street of the city - st. Prince Michael (st. Knez Mikhailova). If you want to buy quality Belgrade souvenirs, go to Cultural Center of Belgrade (Kulturni centar Beograd, st. Knez Mikhailova, 6). It is located on the left opposite a small fountain. Some 10 years ago, on this main tourist artery of Belgrade, it was impossible to find a single seller of souvenirs, so you could buy even the simplest magnet only in the Cultural Center. On the other side of the street, opposite the entrance to the Cultural Center, is Tourist information center (tourist information center, st. Knez Mikhailova, 5, open daily from 9.00 to 19.00), where you can get a map of the city, information booklets and answers to your questions.

Kneza Mihail Street connects the central Terazije Street ( st. Terazije) with the Kalemegdan park, where the Belgrade Fortress is located. A lot of souvenir shops, bookstores, fashion brand shops, cafes and restaurants - this is how the local Arbat looks like, a favorite place for Belgrade residents and guests of the city.

Moving towards Kalemegdan, you will soon see "Delhi Fountain" from which clean, drinking water beats. Once upon a time, Turkish cavalry rested here, now Serbs and tourists from all over the world are walking around.

A little before reaching the park, turn left onto Krala Petra Street ( st. Land of Petra), along it you will reach the oldest Serbian Kafana "Question Mark" ("Sign of food") (look on the left side), opened in 1823 under the name "At the shepherd". Later it was renamed "At the Cathedral Church", but the parishioners forced the owner to abandon this name. To which he hung a sign with a question mark above the entrance, another name was never invented, but the “Question Mark” took root. Sign in to this historical place- you can drink something, have lunch, dinner is not worth it.

herself ( Saborna Church Svetog Archangel Michael) is opposite. The temple was built between 1837 and 1840 on the site of an old church. Princes Milos and Mikhail Obrenovici are buried here, and at the entrance are the graves of Serbian educators Vuk Stefanovich Karadzic and Dositej Obradovic.

Across the road from the entrance to the church is the building where Serbian Patriarchy(Srpska Patriarchy), here nearby Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church(Museum of Serbian Orthodox Church). To the left across the road from the building of the Patriarchy - Palace of Princess Ljubica(Konak knegiњe Kubice), built in 1831 for the wife of the Serbian prince Milos Obrenovic Ljubica and their children.

Return to Knyaz Mikhail and turn left or exit to Paris Street ( Pariska st) and go up to the main entrance to Park "Kalemegdan" (Park "Kalemegdan"). It is here that one of the main attractions of all of Serbia is located - Belgrade fortress (Beogradska Tvrva).

The first thing you will see when walking along the central alley of the park is Monument of Gratitude to France (Spomenik Francusko's arrogance), erected to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the end of World War I in 1930. Then go through the gate to the territory of the fortress itself, and then through another gate - Istanbul. You will find yourself on a bridge over a moat, where a large number of old military equipment are the exhibits military museum (War Museum, is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00-17.00, www.muzej.mod.gov.rs ), the building of which is located here on the ramparts. The museum has a permanent exhibition (you can see, for example, a piece of a wing shot down on March 27, 1999 by an American stealth F-117 aircraft), as well as various thematic exhibitions.

Through the Sahat Gate with the Sahat Tower (with a clock) go to the Upper Town of the Belgrade Fortress. There are many historical sights here, but I don’t see the point in listing them all. The main one, of course, is a symbol of the fortress and Belgrade - monument to the winner (winner). It was opened in 1928 in honor of the decade of the breakthrough of the Thessalonica Front. Interestingly, the monument was originally supposed to be installed on the street. Terazije, but the Belgrade ladies said no to a naked man in the very center of the city.

Another attraction of the Kalemegdan park is the view from the walls of the Belgrade fortress, at the confluence of the two rivers Sava and Danube. Locals, especially young people, love to spend their free time here.

View from Belgrade Fortress

Take a walk around the fortress, near the Victory there is the King's Gate ( The edge of the kapija), through which you can go out and see what is behind the walls on this side. For example, photo exhibitions are often held here near the Grand Stairs, and on one of my trips, I could admire the views of Russian cities.

Climb back to the Victory Monument and walk along the fortress wall, admiring the views. Exit through the gate, turn left and go down the path. There are 2 very interesting churches here. First - Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Church Ruzica). The building itself was built in the 18th century for a powder warehouse, at the end of the 19th century it was rebuilt into a church. During the First World War, it was badly damaged, then restored and consecrated on October 11, 1925. There are 2 statues in front of the entrance: Tsar Stefan Dushan and an infantryman from the time of the Balkan wars. Second - Church of St. Paraskeva Pyatnitsa (Church of Svete Petke). It was built in 1938 on the site of a miraculous spring. From the outside, the church seems very simple, but inside it is decorated with stunning mosaics.

Climb back and exit the fortress through the Zindan gate with two towers. The route continues along Belgrade Zoo, then a little to the left and to the right along the tram tracks. You are on Tsar Dushan Street ( st Tsar Dushan).

If you are hungry and do not plan to spend money on Skadarli, then 2 restaurants from are located on this street. If you want a quick refreshment, check out LOKI (the intersection of Kralja Petra and Gospodar Jovanova streets) - a small nondescript establishment. There is an opinion that it is here that they offer the most delicious splash in Belgrade, as a result, the price is slightly higher than in other similar places. Although, in Serbia I did not try the tasteless splash.

Walk along Tsar Dusan Street to Skadarliya. On the road on the left, don't miss church of st. Alexander Nevsky (Church of Light Alexander Nevskog). Its construction lasted from May 12, 1912 to November 23, 1930. Such a long period is associated with the outbreak of the Balkan and the First World Wars. November 23, 1930 Serbian Patriarch Varnava consecrated the temple in the presence of King Alexander I Karageorgievich.

Skadarska street (st. Skadarsk) is a pedestrian street in Belgrade with many national restaurants and various bars located both on it and in the adjacent lanes. The Skadarliya area is called bohemian, and some even compare it with Parisian Montmartre. The reason is that at the beginning of the 20th century, actors, artists and poets actively settled here. The heyday of the street came in the 20s of the last century. But after the war, it became unremarkable. In 1966, the street was reconstructed and made pedestrian. Is it worth popping in here tonight for dinner? It depends on whether you are ready to overpay for the atmosphere, music, the name of the institution, and so on, the place is a tourist one. The portions are large, everything is delicious, but the cost is higher than in most restaurants of national cuisine located in other parts of the city. I almost forgot, another plus of restaurants in Skadarliya, arriving here after midnight, for example, after an evening flight from Moscow, you will definitely find where to have dinner.

Walk along Skadarskaya and turn right onto Despot Stefan Boulevard, along which you will exit to Republic Square. Next, from cultural center Belgrade will go in the opposite direction. You will find yourself on the main city Terazije street (st. Terazije). Its name comes from the Turkish language, the so-called special mechanism that distributed water through the city water supply. A similar installation was located on the site of the modern Terasian fountain(Terazian Chesma). Behind it rises one of the most beautiful hotels in the city - Moscow hotel opened in 1908. Go to the cafe on the ground floor of the hotel to admire the architecture, the view from the window and drink a cup of coffee - it's worth it, book a standard room and don't stay - small and not as comfortable as in the above accommodation options for 100 + euros per night.

Further, Teraziye street smoothly turns into st. Kralya Milana ( st. Edge of Milan), on the left side of which are Old and New Palaces. Earlier old palace was the residence of the Serbian royal dynasties, currently the city hall is located here. The New Palace was the residence of the Karadjordjevics, and now the President of Serbia.

On the right side, in the Maiden's Park, there is monument to Nicholas II. Previously, the embassy of the Russian Empire was located here.

Cross the roadway to the palaces. Here, next to the New Palace at Andrichev Venac 8 ( Andriyev Venats, 8), located museum-apartment famous Yugoslav writer, author of the novel "The Bridge on the Drina", and diplomat Ivo Andrica. Here he lived with his wife from 1958 until his death in 1975. And the museum opened a year later, in 1976. Detailed information and the opening hours of the museum are available at official website.

Pass through Pioneer Park to building of the National Assembly of Serbia. Some kind of pickets often take place here, you can see various appeals to members of parliament. Although now the deputies most often sit not here, but in an inconspicuous building on the street. Kralya Milana, 14.

If you are facing the Parliament building, turn right and go forward, so you will exit on the Boulevard of King Alexander. On the left you will see the Tashmaydan park ( Tashmajdan park), where it is located (Tsrkva Svetog Marka), built in 1931-1940 in the Serbian-Byzantine style. The relics of the Serbian king Dusan are kept here. Right behind her Russian Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1924 by White Guard emigrants. General Pyotr Nikolaevich Wrangel is buried here.

Russian Church of the Holy Trinity

Not far from the Russian Church there is a small memorial sign "Zashto?" (Russian Why?), dedicated to the memory of 18 employees of the Serbian television and radio company who died during the NATO bombing on April 23, 1999.

The Tashmaydan park itself was recently restored, and the government of Azerbaijan allocated a large amount for this. Therefore, now you can see here not only a monument to the popular Serbian writer Milorad Pavic, but also to the first president of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev.

There is another memorial sign dedicated to NATO aggression in the park - Monument to Milica Rakic, which is a symbol of all the innocent victims of that war. On it, in Serbian and English, it says, "We were only children."

Return to Kral Alexander Boulevard and turn onto Belgrade Street ( st. Beogradska) towards Slavija Square. Turn left onto Krunska street. Here in house 51 is located Museum of Nikola Tesla(Museum of Nikola Tesla, open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 to 18.00, nikolateslamuseum.org).

Walk along Belgrade Street to Slavia Square, where you go around the towering hotel of the same name and along St. Sava Street ( st. Svetog Save) exit to one of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world - Temple of Saint Sava (temple Svetog Save). The first architectural projects of the cathedral appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. They were even sent to Petrograd for consideration by the Imperial Academy of Arts. Construction began in 1935, but was interrupted due to World War II. Again, the construction of the temple was returned only in 1985. The dome was completed in 1989. The cathedral was officially opened in 2004, but interior decoration work is still ongoing.

Temple of Saint Sava

1-2 days are just enough to inspect the sights of the center of Belgrade described above. Now I’ll tell you what else is worth seeing in the city and its environs if you plan to stay here longer.

What else to see in Belgrade and surroundings

New cemetery ( Novo coffin)

In its depths there is a Russian necropolis (plots No. 80, 80a, 90, 90a), where white emigrants and their descendants are buried. You should focus on the Iverskaya chapel and to the right of it is the memorial of "Russian Glory", which is the figure of Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of the army, standing on a pedestal in the form of a shell, on which is written "Eternal memory to Emperor Nicholas II and 2,000,000 Russian soldiers of the Great War ". Under the monument there is a crypt where the remains of Russian soldiers and officers who died during the First World War are buried. The memorial sign itself, the author of which is the architect Roman Nikolaevich Verkhovskoy, was installed in 1935 at the initiative of the Colonel of the Russian army, Knight of St. George, Mikhail Skorodumov.

Memorial of "Russian Glory" at the New Cemetery of Belgrade

Nikolai Petrovich Krasnov, a famous Russian architect, author of the famous Livadia Palace in Crimea, is buried on the territory of the Russian cemetery in Belgrade. By the way, during his life in Belgrade, he managed to have a hand in the construction of the buildings of the National Assembly and the Government of Serbia (the intersection of Knez Milash and Nemajina streets), the reconstruction of the Ruzice church.

Opposite the main entrance is a memorial park with the graves of the liberators of Belgrade, perpetuating the memory of the Yugoslav partisans and Soviet soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of Belgrade from the Nazis in 1944.

Zemun - Austro-Hungarian piece of Belgrade

Zemun is a district of Belgrade located on the opposite side of the Sava, on the right bank of the Danube. You can get here by buses No. 15, 704, 707 from the Zeleni Venac stop, and in good weather and on foot, since 90% of the route will run along the Danube. Zemun was under the rule of the Habsburgs for a long time, which could not but be reflected in its architectural appearance. Later, it became an independent city, and as part of Belgrade since the 30s. of the last century with a short break from 1941 to 1944, when it was part of the fascist Independent State of Croatia.

The main attraction of Zemun is Gardosh tower(another name is Millennium), built in 1896 at the southernmost point of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Thus, the Hungarians immortalized the 1000th anniversary of their stay in the Middle Danube Plain. There is also a small bar here - Fat Cat Pub, where you can sit and admire the view of the Danube, tiled roofs and the tower itself, and whoever is not enough can climb it for a small fee.

Gardosh Tower

Zemun is also known for its churches and cathedrals - both Orthodox and Catholic, as well as the Town Hall building, built in the classicism style in 1823-1832, located on Victory Square.

On the Danube embankment there are many restaurants of both Serbian and European cuisine, so you can always refresh yourself if you wish. The only thing is that the prices here are a bit higher, but you have to pay for the view.

Ada Ciganlija or where to hide from the heat in the capital of Serbia

Ada Ciganlia ( Ada Ciganlija) - an island on the Sava River, 4 km from the center of Belgrade. In 1967, it was connected to the shore by two dams. As a result, the Sava Lake, 4 km long, appeared. Here, local residents escape from the summer heat, swim, sunbathe, walk and actively play sports. "Ada Ciganlija" beach marked " blue flag”, which indicates the purity of the water in the lake and the developed beach infrastructure. On the opposite bank of the Sava is New Belgrade (Novi Beograd), where, if desired, you can get over by boat.

Mount Avala

Mount Avala is only 511 meters high and is located 16.5 km southeast of Belgrade. From here you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of the city, and an even more breathtaking view opens from Aval television tower (Avalski television toraњ, 10.00–16.00). The tower was originally built in 1961-1965, but on April 29, 1999 it was destroyed during a NATO bombardment. The restoration of the television tower was completed in 2010.

Mounted on top of a mountain memorial to the unknown hero (Spomenik to an unknown Junaku) in memory of the participants of the First World War. Its creator is the Yugoslav sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.

On the slope of Avala, in memory of the Soviet delegation that died at this place in a plane crash on October 19, 1964, a monument to Soviet war veterans (Companion to the Soviet military veterans). Then a group of military men from the USSR, including Marshal of the Soviet Union Sergei Biryuzov, flew to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade, but due to heavy fog, the plane crashed into a mountain.

Food in Belgrade: where to eat delicious food

In any new country for myself, I like to try something local. In this sense, Serbia conquered me - here in any restaurant they will offer delicious meat dishes and fresh vegetable salads. What else is needed?

Salads:

- shopska salad - cheese was added to Serbian;

Conclusion

Belgrade is one of my favorite cities. After reading the guide, it is probably difficult to understand the reason for this? To be honest, there are not so many sights, and those that are there will not surprise a sophisticated tourist, and the devastation is very striking. So why?

Taxi from Belgrade Airport

From Belgrade airport it is easy to get by taxi to any point in the city and the immediate surroundings. You can try to catch a car at the exit of the terminal building or order in advance for your flight via the Internet.

The second way often turns out to be cheaper, since a rare taxi driver will resist the temptation to overcharge a tourist. When ordering online, the possibility of tariff manipulation is reduced to zero: the service calculates the cost of the trip even before the actual payment, and “adding on the spot” will no longer work.

If necessary, you can order a car with pre-installed child seats, 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 with their names.

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 scoreboard and sends the car exactly at the arrival of the aircraft.
