First hour in Novi Sad
How to arrive, get around, and not overpay on day one.
The closest airport is Belgrade Nikola Tesla (BEG), about 80 km / 1h20 by road. The easiest options: (1) the direct airport shuttle to Novi Sad main bus station (~1600 RSD, several departures per day, ~1h30); (2) taxi/private transfer around €50–70. Avoid unlicensed drivers at arrivals — book a transfer online or use the marked airport taxi desk.
Walk in the footsteps of history
Isti grad — dvije epohe. Zamislite kako je Novi Sad izgledao nekada.
Novi Sad is Serbia's second city and the calm, elegant counterpoint to Belgrade. Baroque squares, an Austro-Hungarian old town, a river beach on the Danube and a giant Habsburg fortress across the water — all packed into a walkable centre. It's the kind of place where you can knock out the highlights in a morning and still have the afternoon free for coffee, a long lunch and a wine bar. Selected European Capital of Culture in 2022, the city is proud of its multi-ethnic history - Serbs, Hungarians, Slovaks, Ruthenians and more all left something behind in the streets you'll walk.
