Traveling by train ...on a US Passport ...from Macedonia or Greece...is a tourist visa available at the border to enter Serbia...and to stay in Belgrade ---(not just transit)....?
Are there trains (or buses) running from Belgrade to Albania and/or Kosovo...? And are advanced visas needed to enter those countries...? Or just a stamp at the border...

Basically I went to Exit festival 2 summers ago and not knowing that Dinar was a controlled currency I left for Croatia with over 7000 Dinar in my purse.
Couldn't exchange this in Croatia and when I got back to England I've tried banks, travel agents, the Post Office etc and no where will accept the currency. It's been sat in my room ever since but as times are hard at the moment I'm looking for someone who's travelling to Serbia (I think it can be exchanged in Bosnia as well) to sell the cash to.
I have 7220 which is about £65... You won't have to pay exchange fees/ bank charges to withdraw abroad and I will obviously post for free!
Please help!
Hi there,
Can somebody help me, I'd like to visit Despotovac and Donji Milanovac, but I don't want to have to backtrack back to Belgrade to get transport to each one. However, I can't seem to find a bus or a trainline that connects these two, I'd like to be able to visit the two, then go on to Nis, without backtracking to Belgrade on each leg. Is this possble? I have checked Lasta, BAS and the serbian railway site and it seems from this that Belgrade is the centre of all transport in Serbia...
If anybody has any suggestions for reaching these towns without time consuming backtracking, please let me know.
Thank you,
Amy

Had a great trip to Belgrade -- it was for work, but I managed to have a day walking about and a couple of nights enjoying the city. GREAT city for walking around (it's particularly lovely at night)! and here are the photos from my trip, which I hope will be helpful to others. Since it was for work, I stayed at the swanky Hotel Moscow, but were I traveling my usual style, The New Inn Hostel looked quite good (and was just a few doors down).

Hello, I am currently planning my overland trip by train from Munich/Germany to China, across Central Asia.
I wonder how much the train ticket for the trip between Belgrade and Istanbul costs. I couldnt find any information on the webiste of the serbian railway. The website of the Turkish railway says, a trip from Istanbul to Belgrad is 110 turkish liras, thats about 50 euros, but that seems quite cheap...
can anyone help me please?
thanks a lot!

Hi!
I'm planing to travel from Belgrade to Brasov in Romania.
Is there a direct connection by bus, mini-bus or train?
Or is it neccessary to travel first to Bucharest and than from there to Brasov?
If so, which is the best way to travel to Bucharest and can I book a ticket in advance?
Would be great, if someone knows a webside with timetables etc.
Thanks for your help!

Is there any bus service between Belgrad and Pristina....Please help me. Thanks
The Serbian Interior Minister has apparently indicated that Serbia intends to make life easier for foreigners entering the country via Kosovo, who until now have been regarded as illegal entrants (at least in theory) because their passports do not contain an entry stamp from a recognised Serbian border crossing. As regular readers will know, this has been a recurring cause of concern for posters on this forum. Unfortunately no date is given for the change.
