💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors avoid the taxi touts in the arrivals hall and instead pre-book a transfer or use the CarGo app, which is reliable and often 30% cheaper than official taxis.
🚖 Getting There
The most convenient way to reach the city center is by taxi, but use only official taxi stands inside the terminal to avoid overcharging; a ride to downtown costs around 1,800-2,500 RSD.
