Airport transfer in Belgrade
If you prefer taxi, first of all, read General precautions below. It's good to know that downtown is some 18km away from the airport. Also, there is no luggage fee, so you absolutely don't have to pay for your luggage. You have several choices (ordered from best to worst):
Order a taxi by phone. Follow the operators instructions where will the driver pick you up, which is usually: go left upstairs, get out of the building, go left until you pass the departures section some 20m. You will probably need to say your first name to the operator, since there are usually several passengers ordering cabs. The cost should be around RSD 1300 (~€13) to the city center, RSD 1500 (~€15) if you take a cab after 23:00.
Buy a voucher from the dispatch officers in yellow vests before you go through customs control (pay attention, they are easy to miss). The vouchers cost RSD 1500 (~€15) to most parts of the city center, Zemun and Novi Beograd, but for distant suburb areas it could cost up to RSD 7500 (~€75). There are reports of problems with this system, such as drivers claiming the voucher is only good for one passenger and that you must pay more for additional passengers, which, of course, is not true.
Go left upstairs to the departure section and catch one of the taxis dropping off passengers. They will be happy for the return ride.
If you take taxi service being offered by drivers in the airport terminal (arrivals) you have most chances to meed dishonest driver. That location has a long history of drivers ripping off the passengers. They might try to avoid using their meters, and charge many times the normal fare.
Bus line #72 runs twice an hour (quarter past and quarter to each hour) to Zeleni Venac in the city centre, and costs 120 dinars (~€1.20) from the driver or 80 dinars from the shop inside the departure hall that sells food and newspapers. The trip is around 45 minutes.
A more comfortable city bus option is the A1 minibus, going from the airport to Slavija Square in the city center, stopping at Fontana (Novi Beograd) and the Main Train Station. The buses are comfortable and air-conditioned. The fare is RSD 250 (~€2.50), which is paid on-board; be sure to tell the driver what your destination is before departure.
