How long does the trip take
It depends on the train. The Soko high-speed service covers Beograd Centar - Novi Sad in about 36 minutes, running at up to 200 km/h. Regio trains stop at intermediate stations and take about an hour and a half. The bus needs 90 minutes to two hours depending on highway traffic.
Soko or Regio: which train to pick
Soko is the fastest option: air-conditioned, with reserved seating, USB chargers and two classes. Seats are limited and peak departures sell out, so book ahead. More in our Soko train guide.
Regio trains are cheaper and run more often. They stop at places like Novi Beograd, Zemun, Stara Pazova, Inđija, Sremski Karlovci and Petrovaradin, which makes them handy if you are not travelling centre to centre. No reservation needed, seating is free.
