Belgrade by train
Belgrade by train
The Central Train station is located, not surprisingly, in the city center. From the station to Republic Square is 1 km (uphill) - about 15 minutes walk. Almost all national and international trains stop here, but a few trains stop at Beograd Novi station, cca 3 km west from the city centre.
Budapest: 7½h, two daytime and one overnight train Beograd. There is a special offer Budapest Special/Beograd Special, €15 for one-way and €26 for return ticket. These tickets are sold only at Budapest and Belgrade stations. Couchette reservation is €16.40 for 6-berth couchette, but there are reservation-free seats even on the night train. The night train uses to be overcrowded in summer (2005).
Vienna: 10½h, a through couchette car attached to night train Beograd. Ticket price begins at €39 in 6-berth couchette (non-refundable, bound to specified train and day). You can book it only at Austrian railway stations.
Prague: 15h, EC Avala. Direct one-way ticket is expensive (over €90), but there are considerable discounts for return tickets, especially in CityStar offer.
Ljubljana: 9h, two daytime and one overnight train. Discounted Beograd Special ticket, non-refundable and bound to specified train and day, costs €25.
Zagreb: 6h, the same trains as from Ljubjana plus one daytime train at morning. Ticket costs about €30, every additional passenger has 50% discount. An additional Railplus discount is possible.
Sarajevo: 8½h, a daytime train, but not shown in international timetables. Ticket costs €17.
Podgorica and Bar: 8½h / 9½h one daytime IC Podgorica and one overnight train (three in summer season). The night train arriving at 4:48 arrives at Beograd Novi station. Due to chronic undermaintenance in 1990s there are many sections with slow speed, though the track is currently being refurbished. However the train is still the fastest and cheapest transport mode between Montenegro and Serbia. Price is about €20 plus €3 compulsory seat reservation or €6 couchette reservation.
Skopje: 9h, a daytime train Olympus and an overnight train Hellas Express.
Sofia: 9h, one daytime and one overnight train. Trains on this route are slightly slower than buses and often delayed, but also cheaper. Ticket cost about €20, and €10 for berth reservation.
Bucharest: 12h, an overnight train Bucuresti.
There's no train connection from Greece, as since Jan 2011 Greek Railways suspended all international trains. The former trains from Greece now depart from Skopje in Macedonia.
