Knez Mihailova is a pedestrian street in the center of Belgrade, which is the busiest and most important street in the city. It connects the Kalemegdan Fortress to Republic Square (Trg republike) and is filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants. The street is popular throughout the day and evening, and it is an important meeting place for locals and tourists.
Since the beginning of last year, public transport in Belgrade has been free for all passengers. This includes all city and suburban lines, including buses, trams, trolleybuses, and BG trains. Traveling is easy when you don’t have to pay any attention to the payment process. Buses are often packed to capacity.
Belgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers and at the crossroads of the Pannonian Plain and the Balkan Peninsula.
Belgrade has become the first European city with over 500,000 inhabitants to offer free public transport.
Belgrade made a historic decision and removed all fare requirements starting January 1, 2025.
With this move, Belgrade became the largest European city (with a population of around 1.7 million) to offer entirely free public transit.
The free transit system covers almost all urban and suburban lines within Belgrade:
All regular city buses and electric buses (EKO lines)
Trams and trolleybuses
The local commuter train network (BG Voz)
Night lines are also completely free.
Important for Travelers: The free fare policy applies to everyone—both local residents and foreign tourists alike. You do not need to show or validate any ticket, transport card, or app when boarding.
