Niš Constantine the Great International Airport is getting busier and busier every year.

It is reachable by the city bus line no. 34. Likewise, you can get a taxi from the airport to the city core (and the other way round) for a very affordable price by European standards (about 3 EUR).

GETTING TO NIŠ BY TRAIN
Niš is well connected to the Serbian and European railroad network. Niš Train Station is located at the city exit leading south to Leskovac and is a 20 minute walk away from the city core, where our apartment is located. If you do not fancy walking that long with your baggage, there are frequent bus lines heading downtown (1, 5, 6, 10). Taxi is not expensive, but we do recommend that you use reliable taxi companies, reachable by phone, and not taxi services offered at the train station exit gates. In the train station building there is a cloakroom (the price is 110 dinars for 24h), a restaurant, a phone booth and an exchange office. Niš Railway Station

GETTING TO NIŠ BY CAR
Niš is very well connected by road since it is situated at a European crossroads. The European highway E-75 coming from Hungary branches in two directions near Niš: towards the south, Macedonia and Greece (E-80) and towards the east, along Nišava valley, toward Bulgaria, Turkey and further on to the Middle East. Extending from Niš there are also roads to the northwest (toward Zaječar, Kladovo and Timisoara in Romania) and the southwest (toward the Adriatic Sea). In Serbia, international drivers need to have their national driving license, vehicle registration certificate, and a valid international insurance policy. PARKING
There is a free parking space within our building, with only a few spots. Usually there's always enough space. If you don't find a spot there, there is a free parking in the next block of buildings, about 20 meters from the flat. Public parking on the street is also an option for around 8 euros per day. There is also an enclosed, guarded, open space parking a few streets from our apartment for about 0.4 eur per hour and is open 24/7. PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN NIŠ:
Taxi in Niš is one of the cheapest means of transportation in Europe. There are no local trains or trams, and the buses are very scarce and crowded, although there is a developed public bus transportation system in Niš and surroundings. If you are partying late somewhere in central Niš, we recommend walking to the apartment - it is close by and safe to walk - however, if you are a bit further, we suggest you call a cab. Below are links to a few reliable cab companies in Niš. Cool Taxi
