How do I get from Belgrade airport to Belgrade city center?
For one traveler we recommend the Bus 72 to Zeleni venac, which is free, 50–70 min, which is also the cheapest way in; the fastest is the Taxi at RSD 3,500, 30–45 min. Every option below is priced as a total for your party and says where it leaves you.

Data in SerbiaAiralo
An eSIM for Serbia, installed before you fly, works in the arrivals hall: tickets, maps, the driver's messages.
A flight three or more hours late, or cancelled at short notice, can be owed up to €600 a passenger under EU and UK rules, depending on the flight. AirHelp charges only if the claim succeeds.
These links pay us a commission. They never change which transfer we rank first.
Arriving late?
Not everything runs around the clock: the Bus 72 to Zeleni venac runs 04:50–00:00, and the Night bus 72N to Republic Square runs 00:30–02:30, and the A1 minibus to Slavija runs 06:45–00:15. Outside those hours, the Taxi, fixed City price to the center and the Pre-booked private transfer are what remain. Set the hour you leave arrivals and the board keeps only what is running.

Going somewhere specific?
"The center" is not one place, and the answer changes
Buses 72, 72N and 600 and the A1 minibus all leave from the same stop, "Aerodrom Nikola Tesla /dolasci/", right outside the arrivals hall. There's no separate bay for each route — all four wait at the same kerb.
Tickets
The 72, 72N and 600 need no ticket at all — just get on. The A1 minibus is the only one that sells a ticket: pay the driver RSD 400 in cash as you board, since no app, card or machine is offered.
The taxi rank
Get a fixed-price certificate before you join the queue: four e-kiosks issue it, three in baggage reclaim and one in the arrivals hall. Hand it to the driver at the front of the rank outside arrivals — the fare printed on it is exactly what you pay.

Free since 1 January 2025, along with almost every city bus, tram and trolleybus. No ticket, card or validator needed. Only the A1 minibus and the E minibus lines are outside this free fare.
It is free, and that is the city's decision, not a promotion. If a driver or anyone at the stop asks for money for this bus, they are not the City. The only bus from this airport that sells a ticket is the A1.
The airport says 30 to 40 minutes; the city's timetable schedules 50 to 70 — expect the longer figure. Thirty-one stops through Ledine, Studentski grad and Fontana are what separate it from the A1, not the fare.
Every 25 minutes all day, every day. The last is 00:00 and the first 04:50; the 72N covers 00:30 to 02:30 and nothing public covers 02:30 to 04:30.
Zeleni venac is the end of the line and the bottom of the center, not Republic Square itself: 400 m up the hill to Terazije, a kilometer and a half to Slavija.
It leaves from the arrivals level. The night line and the A1 use the same stop.
The free fare rests on a resolution that the City could revoke with another; the gazette shows none as of 4 September 2026, and the timetable it rests on is valid to 31 December 2026.
The City's timetable, identical Monday to Sunday: 04:50, 05:25, 06:00 and then every 25 minutes to 23:30, plus one departure at 00:00 — 46 a day from the arrivals stop. Between 00:00 and 04:50 the night line 72N takes over at 00:30, 01:30 and 02:30.

It is the only free service that goes all the way to Republic Square; by day the 72 stops at Zeleni venac below it.

This is the only bus from the airport that costs anything. RSD 400 in cash to the driver, per person; a card, a Beograd Plus app or the free fare that carries every other bus in the city is no use on it.
It does not run at night. Last departure 00:15, next 06:45. The free 72N runs in the gap it leaves, until 02:30.
The airport says about 30 minutes; the City's timetable schedules 45 to Slavija. It stops at Savski trg seven minutes before the end, which is nearer the old town than Slavija is.
Every 15 minutes by day is not quite true: the timetable skips one slot every 75 minutes, and after 19:45 the departures are 21:15, 22:45 and 00:15.
Four hundred dinars buys seven stops instead of thirty-one and a bay for the bags. It buys nothing else the 72 does not give away.

A flat per-ride price set by the City, from a certificate: RSD 2,700 for Novi Beograd and outer Zemun/Surčin; RSD 3,500 for Stari grad, Vračar, Savski venac (to Crnotravska and Velisava Vulovića streets), inner Palilula, Zvezdara, Voždovac and Čukarica, and Batajnica, Jakovo and Dobanovci; RSD 4,300, 5,800, 8,500 and 11,400 for the zones beyond. Luggage is included, up to four passengers per ride, and the driver must charge exactly the certificate price, with no night, Sunday or holiday surcharge. Without a certificate, the meter runs RSD 320 to start, 105/km by day (weekdays and Saturdays 06:00–22:00 in the central territory), 135 at night, Sundays and holidays, 210 outside that territory, and RSD 1,800 an hour waiting.
Get the certificate before the rank. The fixed price exists only on the City's certificate from the e-kiosks; without it the ride is on the meter, and the airport tells you to hand the certificate to the first car in the queue.
The center is zone 2, RSD 3,500 — Not the cheapest zone. Zone 1 at RSD 2,700 is Novi Beograd. Republic Square, Terazije, Slavija, the old town and the main station are all in zone 2.
Four passengers at most, by the City's seat cap and the airport's rule; five people are two cars and RSD 7,000.
No authority states a taxi journey time. The 30 to 45 minutes here are the airport's own figure for its express minibus over the same road and the City's scheduled time for it, not a taxi figure.
Between 02:30 and 04:30 it is the only thing that leaves, at the same RSD 3,500; the price does not change at night.
Complaints go to the City, not the airport: the Secretariat for Inspection, inspekcija@beograd.gov.rs, or 11-0-11 from a local line.

The "Aerodrom Nikola Tesla /dolasci/" stop outside the arrivals level. Follow the signs from arrivals. It leaves you at Zeleni venac, the bus terminus and market square just below Terazije, 400 m from Republic Square; Brankov most and the Novi Beograd stops on the way.

The Bus 72 to Zeleni venac runs 04:50–00:00. The Night bus 72N to Republic Square runs 00:30–02:30. The A1 minibus to Slavija runs 06:45–00:15.

Does the Bus 600 to Beograd Centar railway station go to Republic Square and Terazije, with Zeleni venac — the market square just below Terazije where bus 72 ends — at one end and Slavija, where the A1 ends, a kilometer and a half south?
The main railway station and the main bus station, not the center: Prokop is 2.7 km from Republic Square with no metro. Take it for an onward train or coach; take the 72 for the city.
Worth knowing
Buses 72, 72N and 600 to the center are free, like every city bus since 1 January 2025. The A1 minibus to Slavija is the exception: RSD 400 per person, cash only, from the driver, over the same 18 km.
Bus 72 runs 04:50 to 23:30 every 25 minutes, with a last run at 00:00. The 72N covers 00:30, 01:30 and 02:30 to Republic Square, and bus 600 to the main station starts at 04:30. The A1 minibus leaves at 00:15 and then not again until 06:45.
The taxi is a fixed per-car price from a certificate taken at one of four e-kiosks before the rank, for up to four passengers with luggage, any hour. Zone 2 is RSD 3,500 and covers Stari grad, Vračar, Savski venac and the inner city — where Republic Square, Terazije, Slavija and the main station are. Other zones: RSD 2,700 to Novi Beograd and outer Zemun/Surčin, then 4,300, 5,800, 8,500 and 11,400 further out. Without a certificate the meter runs: RSD 320 plus 105/km by day, 135 at night and Sunday, 210 outside the central territory.
Four people ride free by bus, pay RSD 1,600 total by minibus, and RSD 3,500 by taxi. The taxi is faster than the bus, which makes 31 stops, but never cheaper.
Nothing public leaves the airport between 02:30 and 04:30 — after the last 72N and before the 600 at 04:30 and the 72 at 04:50. The A1 does not run again until 06:45. In that window the only option is the taxi, at the same fixed RSD 3,500.
There is no train to this airport yet. An 18.3 km line from Zemun Polje through the airport to the National Stadium is under construction for EXPO 2027, contracted to finish by the end of 2026, with new trains due between November 2026 and March 2027 and a promised 15 to 20 minutes to the center.
