About Getting to Novi Sad & Sremski Karlovci
The easiest way in is the Soko, Serbia’s first high-speed train, which has run on the rebuilt Belgrade–Novi Sad line since March 2022. Travelling at around 200 km/h, it reaches Petrovaradin in just 34 minutes; the double-deckers have 316 seats, Wi-Fi and a mini-bar, and several services run each day. From Novi Sad, local buses and taxis cover the 20 minutes or so to Sremski Karlovci. Coaches and organised day tours from Belgrade are other easy options. Check the current timetable and buy tickets through Srbijavoz.
