  Getting To Novi Sad from Belgrade Airport Nikola Tesla

   "There is NO bus line from Belgrade airport to Novi Sad. You can take a bus to Belgrade (approx. € 3,00 / 45 min), where you can catch a train (€ 5,00 / 3 hours trip) or a bus (€ 10,00 / 90 min) to Novi Sad. But the last bus from the airport leaves at about 9pm, so I would recommend this service Taxi Belgrade Airport Novi Sad. It will take you straight to Novi Sad in about 75 min, at almost same price, especially if there is 2 or 3 of you.", Michael G. Toronto, Canada, TripAdvisor.com
