If you are staying in the downtown you can easily walk around. If you want to move from Down Town to Vracarm Dedinje or New Belgrade you will need a taxi for sure. If you wanna go green and healthy with riding a bicycle then make sure you are fit enough for Belgrade streets. To be honest its not very recommended to drive a bike or a bicycle in our city though. Cars are moving all over the street and cut others out to often. To say it other words its not that safe. If you keep riding in Dorcol area you are good. Driving in New Belgrade also all good. Except using a HeighWay. There is no Metro in Belgrade. Public buss could be an option but not the best for sure.
