GETTING FROM BELGRADE TO NOVI SAD

You can take train from the Belgrade train station, or bus from the main bus station. The train runs daily in different intervals. However, we do not recommend using trains as they are the least reliable means of transportation. For the timetable please visit: http://www.zeleznicesrbije.com/. If you take a bus from the main bus station, we recommend traveling by those which take the faster (highway) road. The journey usually lasts between 80 to 120 minutes, depending on the route and traffic.
