Stari Grad City Municipality

城市概覽

The core of the city is on a bluff overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube. Both rivers are navigable by large vessels: the Sava up to Sisak in Croatia, and the Danube from the Black Sea all the way up to Kelheim in Bavaria. It's been inhabited at least since 6000 BC and the earliest recognisable town was the Celtic settlement of Singidūn. The bluff now called Kalmegdan was fortified and its environs grew into the White City, beo grad. Belgrade has, however, suffered over 100 wars and was destroyed over 40 times. Those who've left their linguistic or cultural mark include the Slavs from 520 AD, the Ottoman Empire from 1521, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1688. After the First World War, Belgrade became the seat of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, from 1929 known as Yugoslavia. That entity after the Second World War was under Tito's distinctive brand of communism until he died in 1980. The Balkans in the following years were roiled by internecine wars as Yugoslavia broke apart, and in 1999 NATO forces bombed Belgrade to force the independence of Kosovo.

Serbia has not sought to join the EU, eurozone or Schengen area, but Belgrade presents a friendly face to western travellers, with English and German widely understood, and their bank cards accepted. Its overlapping layers of history and capital status create a fascinating vibrant blend. It's easy to reach and relatively inexpensive. The majority of places of interest are within 2 km of the citadel of Kalmegdan. Belgrade's extension north of the Danube, Kotež, is an ugly sprawl. Novi Beograd is a modern business district west of the Sava, with transport hubs, shopping and entertainment - this page uses its local name to avoid confusion with terms such as "New Belgrade bus station". Belgrade has a temperate continental climate, with hot rainy summers and cold snowy winters. Keep an eye on the weather forecast when planning your day, and dress accordingly. Košava is the fierce summer wind t

如何抵達

By plane 1 Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG IATA, Aerodrom Nikola Tesla Beograd) is how most visitors reach Serbia. Most flights are by Air Serbia, especially from other Balkan cities such as Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Skopje and Zagreb, and within Serbia from Niš and Kraljevo. Other airlines are mostly traditional "flag-carriers" such as Lufthansa. Serbia doesn't have the EU "open skies" philosophy, so Wizz is the only budget carrier. The airport, for practical purposes, has a single terminal. Arriving, you pass through the airside lounge before passport control and baggage reclaim. Currency exchange kiosks here give rates within 5% of official rate, good value anywhere. Departing, passport control comes straight after check-in, then you enter the airside lounge. There's retail and eating but little general seating. Each departure gate has its own security screen and cramped waiting area without toilets, a thoroughly awkward design. Getting there and away: the airport is 18 km west of city centre.

By bus: Bus 72 runs every 30 min to Novi Beograd railway and bus station then to Zeleni Venac near Republic Square. It's free and takes 50 min, running daily 05:00-23:30. The bus disembarks passengers outside Departures and then circles around to pick up from Arrivals on the level below. Bus 600 runs every 30-40 min to Central Train Station (Beograd Centar-Prokop) via Novi Beograd station, free of charge (Jan 2026). Minibus A1 runs between the airport and Slavija Square, stopping at Fontana (Novi Beograd) and the main bus station. The buses are comfortable and air-conditioned. The fare can be paid in Serbian dinars or in euros (RSD400 or €4, as of Jan 2026); pay the driver. The trip takes 30 minutes. This bus also runs at night, with a short break from around 02:00-04:00. By taxi: read the precautions described below. Taxi options from safest to least safe: - Order by mobile app such as Yandex Go, CAR:GO or Pink Taxi Beograd. It tracks and saves your whole route, and ca

By public transport

Local public transport in Belgrade is free. This excludes trains, and express bus lines with an E route number. GSP Beograde (ГСП) operates city buses, trams and trolleybuses. Use their Beograd +plus app for timetables and live tracking. Buses are the mainstay of city transport, and you can get almost anywhere on them. Buses get very full at peak times, and some are full all day, notoriously the 26, 83 and 50. Their quality varies: those around the city centre or serving posh neighborhoods are usually newer air-conditioned vehicles, e.g. the Polish Solaris Urbino 18. Further out you may encounter some elderly specimens, e.g. the 30-year-old Ikarbus with wooden benches for seats. There are two main bus terminals for local buses: the former intercity main bus station (Železnička 4; next to the disused railway station) for the west and southwest suburbs, and Zeleni Venac for the north (Zemun and Batajnica) and some western parts of the city (Banovo Brdo, Žarkovo, Čukarica). It's a steep ten-minute walk from the main bus station to Zeleni Venac, with no bus between. Trams run along 11 routes. These all converge in the Slavija-Vukov Spomenik area except 11 and 13 which run to Novi Beograd. Line 2 orbits the centre. Trolleybuses follow 7 lines along two main corridors. One corridor is from Studentski trg (near Trg Republike) over Crveni Krst to Konjarnik and Medaković 3. The other is from Zvezdara to Banjica, plied by lines 40 (Banjica-Zvezdara), 41 (Studentski trg - Banjica) and 28 (Studentski trg - Zvezdara).

By train The suburban railway is called BG:Voz (BG:Train). One line runs from Batajnica in the west through Zemun and Novi Beograd to Beograd Centar then swings north through Karađorđev Park and Vukov Spomenik to Ovča across the river. The other line runs south from Beograd Center via Rakovica to Resnik. Trains run every 30 minutes, 15 mins in rush hour. Belgrade's metro project is a national joke. It's been talked about since the 1930s, w
