Border crossings

You can easily enter Serbia by land from any of the neighbouring countries and no bus changes are required.

Kosovo can be entered from Serbia via Novi Pazar.

There's a well-developed bus service to Western Europe and Turkey from all major towns; contact any travel agency. Buses go from Belgrade to Malmo, in Sweden (€122, 34 hours, Friday), Munich (€82, 17 hours, daily), Paris (€88, 28 hours, Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and Zurich (€70, 23 hours, Wednesday and Saturday).

Car & motorcycle

Drivers need an International Driving Permit and vehicles need Green Card insurance, otherwise insurance (from €80 a month) must be bought at the border.
