From the airport, by taxi: Belgrade airport has a desk/kiosk for fixed-price taxi vouchers in the international arrivals area. Make sure to get one to avoid over priced taxis!

We recommend getting some Serbian dinars (RSD) at the airport, as many taxis do not take cards

A taxi ride to the city center should cost about €30

When you land in the airport, go through passport control, collect your bags, pass customs and come out through the electronic doors - you will see this booth. Please avoid accepting taxis from people approaching you. Go to the booth and state the *general area where you'll be going and they will give you a ticket with a flat price you would be expected to pay. When you go outside follow the taxi line up to the top and look for Naxis or Pink taxis (ask them "cash" or "kartitsa" which means to pay by card) and then give them the ticket you collected. When you get into the cab, tell or show the driver the **address.

*general area = Zvezdara

**address = Red Clay SpA Apartments, Valterova 2, Belgrade 11060
