One of several gates in the fortress
Hi guys,
I'm Asian (young) woman travelling alone, so I have few questions :
1> Is night train passing into Serbia stops a lot? Is it safe enough? I'd like to know if I have any chance to sleep.
2> Anyone know the updated time schedule for this train? I saw two but they aren't the same.
3> I'll stay in Belgrade for couple of days. Is it gonna be too long? Or I should spend more time in Timisoara, Romania?
4> I found only one train around 4pm from Belgrade to Timisoara, is that my only chance? Is there also buses?
Thank you very much fellow travellers for your time to reply
It's pretty save if you travel in couchette (additional 10 euro);
Timetable you can find here - http://www.serbianrailways.com/active/en/home/glavna_navigacija/putnicki_saobracaj.html
(as you can see there are 3 direct trains: 7:40-16:33; 13:05-22:33; 20:40-5:44). But almost 100% that the train will be late anyway...
There are only one direct train from Beograed to Timisoara (15:55-20:55), but you can as well travel with changes - by bus or trains to Kikinda + Kikinda-Jimbolia and Jimbolia-Timisoara train
You can take bus from Skopje to Belgrade. Phone + 389 2 2466011 for info in English. There is a website but it is not helpful . Buses go several times each day, trip takes 8 hours and costs 1,200 Macedonian denars (around 20 Euros)
Minibus also runs from Belgrade to Timisoara (Temisvar). You nominate the time and they will take you. Trip takes 3 1/2 hours and costs 25 Euros:

A couple of days in both cities is enough. If you are limited by time spend more time in Belgrade than Timisoara.
Good luck.
