Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is Serbia’s primary international gateway, offering a modern and efficient start to your global journey from the capital city. As a key transport hub for the region, you can expect a smooth departure experience through its well-organised terminal. To ensure you have plenty of time for check-in and security, we recommend arriving at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure.
Getting to the airport is straightforward, located just 18 kilometres west of central Belgrade. The A1 Minibus Service offers a quick and comfortable direct connection from Slavija Square. Alternatively, you can use the city bus line 72, which is a more affordable option with stops throughout the city. Taxis are also readily available, but ensure you agree on the fare beforehand or use a licensed airport transfer service. If you are driving, ample short- and long-term parking spaces are situated near the terminal buildings. Once inside, you will find a variety of shops and dining options to enjoy before you board your flight.
Basra is a truly vibrant and historic Iraqi port city. It's strategically located on the Shatt al-Arab waterway, which is formed by the convergence of the legendary Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This unique geography has often earned it the nickname the 'Venice of the East', due to its intricate system of canals and long history as a major commercial centre.
The city merges ancient culture with contemporary sophistication, and its roots date back to the 7th century. To immerse yourself in its deep past, visit the Basra Museum, which showcases a compelling collection of artefacts from the Mesopotamian civilisation.
For a taste of local life, explore the old bazaars, which bustle with traders selling regional spices, textiles, and Basra's world-renowned fresh dates. You can also experience the city's modern heartbeat during an evening walk along the lively Basra Corniche, a scenic waterfront promenade.
