How to get from Belgrade Airport to Novi Sad

Set along the banks of the Danube River, Novi Sad is Serbia’s vibrant second city, known for its striking architecture, flourishing culinary scene, and thriving café culture. Also home to the renowned EXIT music festival, the city offers a unique blend of history and contemporary creativity with an inviting charm.

When traveling from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) to Novi Sad, which is approximately 83 kilometers away, you have three transport options: you can either take a taxi, a public bus or a private airport transfer. Taking a Belgrade Airport taxi is a relatively quick and simple way to reach the city. If you’re looking to save money, public transport is the most cost-effective option. There is no direct service from Belgrade Airport to Novi Sad so you’ll first need to take a local bus to New Belgrade Train Station in the city center, then transfer to a train bound for Novi Sad. 

For a more premium and customizable experience, a Belgrade Airport Transfer is the best choice. You’ll be greeted at the Arrivals Hall by a professional driver, assisted with your luggage, and driven directly to your accommodation in Novi Sad, ensuring a smooth start to your visit.

Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Belgrade at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
