How to reach Niš?
By air
Constantine the Great airport is an international airport in Niš that is located 5 km from the city center (http://nis-airport.com/). Currently, there is no scheduled traffic to and from this airport.
Nikola Tesla airport in Belgrade (www.beg.aero) is located 250 km north of Niš and has more frequent flights to and from all around Europe and the Mediterranean. During the Conference, a special shuttle service will be provided to transport the participants from the Belgrade airport to Niš, and vice versa. More details about the timetable of this service will be given in due time.
Prishtina International Airport (http://www.airportpristina.com/) should be avoided as a final landing point because there is no direct public transportation from Prishtina to Niš.
Moreover, people from foreign countries are unable to pass the administrative crossing Merdare on the road from Prishtina to Niš because there is no official Serbian border control and the foreign passengers are redirected to the official border crossings in the neighboring countries Macedonia or Montenegro.
On the ground
The City of Niš is positioned at the crossroads, connected by road and railroad with many important cities in the region – Belgrade, Sofia, and Skopje. Although there is a train line Belgrade-Niš, bus transportation is recommended. There are many departures from Belgrade to Niš and vice versa. One-way ticket is approximately 10 Euros and the ride is 3 to 3.5 hours long. More information about the regular bus service will be given in due time.
Public transportation in Niš
Niš has the public transportation, but all the venues (the Faculty, recommended hotels, restaurants, etc.) can easily be reached by foot (they are within walking distance).
Taxi transportation
There are many taxi companies in Niš, and it is recommended to call them and request a ride rather than to stop them on the street, because there are also unlicensed taxies that drive without the taximeter. The average price of a taxi ride during the day is usually 2 to 5 € (for distances between 2 and 8 km).
