Traveling to Belgrade
- AirplaneBelgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) is located approximately 20 km from the Metropol Palace. The hotel can be easily reached by taxi or public transportation.
- By CarDriving to Belgrade is a feasible option for those who enjoy road trips. Depending on your route, you can enter the city via the E-70 or E-75 highways. Tolls in Serbia can be paid in cash (EUR or RSD), by credit/debit card, or through an electronic payment method (though the latter is typically suitable only for frequent visitors). The Metropol Palace offers parking on the hotel premises, or you may choose to use the public parking garage “Vukov Spomenik,” which is about a 5 to 10-minute walk from the hotel. Please note that the daily parking fee is approximately 20 EUR at the Metropol Palace and 1,500 RSD (12.5 EUR) at the public garage.
- Currency
The local currency in Serbia is the Serbian dinar (RSD). While cards are widely accepted at most businesses, cash payments in euros or US dollars are not permitted. However, in many bars and restaurants, the waiting staff may exchange currency for you at a slightly less favorable rate.
Currency exchange offices are readily available and typically offer guaranteed exchange rates. You should not encounter any fees or commissions for these services. To assist with your search for currency exchange, you can use the term "menjacnica."
