About Belgrade Central Railway Station

Belgrade\'s Prokop station (officially Belgrade Center / Beograd Centar) is the relatively new main railway station that replaced the old station by the Sava waterfront. Located in the Savski Venac district south of the city center, it serves domestic routes across Serbia as well as international connections to cities like Bar (Montenegro), Budapest, Thessaloniki, and Sofia.

The station area is still developing, with the surrounding neighborhood gradually adding restaurants, shops, and services. The Belgrade Waterfront (Beograd na Vodi) — a massive mixed-use development along the Sava River — is nearby and represents the city\'s most ambitious urban transformation project, featuring the Kula Belgrade tower, shopping galleries, and a new waterfront promenade.

For travelers, the station is primarily a transit point for continuing rail journeys. The scenic Belgrade-Bar railway to Montenegro (11 hours through dramatic mountain scenery with 254 tunnels and 435 bridges) is one of Europe\'s most spectacular train routes. Domestic trains connect to Novi Sad (Serbia\'s second city, home of EXIT Festival) in about 30 minutes on the new high-speed line.

Good to Know

Late Night Transport

After midnight, taxis and rideshare (Car:Go, Uber) from the airport to Prokop cost RSD 2,000-2,800 (EUR 17-24). Note that many long-distance trains depart early morning, so a nighttime airport-to-station transfer is common. The station area is relatively quiet late at night but safe. Keep your train ticket and passport accessible.

Luggage Tips

If transferring to a train, keep luggage manageable for platform access. Prokop station has elevators but they can be unreliable. Serbian train carriages have overhead racks and vestibule storage. For the Belgrade-Bar scenic route, secure luggage well as the mountain route is winding.

Accessibility

Prokop station is relatively modern with some accessible features including ramps and elevators, though the station is still being completed. Platform access can be challenging. Serbian trains have limited wheelchair accommodation — contact Srbija Voz (Serbian Railways) in advance for assistance. The A1 bus has limited wheelchair access.
