If you're inside the fortress, you can rent this funny vehicle - it's a lot of fun!! And it's quite cheap!

This picture shows the distance between Nis and other major cities of the region, and should give you a vague idea about where Nis actually is- in case you didn't have one :)
You can reach it by road (bus, car...), by train, or, since recently, by airplane (yap, Nis has got its own airport now!)

As it is not a big place, Nis is best seen on foot. Still, if you are bothered to walk, there are regular busses that connect major parts of the city. They are inexpensive, but can be crowded at times. There are also taxis, of course, and an average ride through town shouldn't cost you more than 2 euros

These cuties can be seen inside the fortress only, though they used to run trroughout the town. Now they mostly transport kids, but anyone is welcome for a ride! The price is, expectedly, ridiculous :)
Btw, the name of this train, "Trucko", means "the bumpy one" Ouch! :)

For a trip from Sofia to Montenegro's coast, Nis is the ideal connection. The train from Sofia, even with a two hour delay is in a position to connect to the night train from Nis to Bar, Montenegro. The train cars are not spring chicken but still quite comfortable. They are usually the six-person variety. In my case, in January, I had the compartment to myself all the way to Bar. No need for a sleeper!

No trip to Nis should be completed without taking a ride on the city's buses. They're rather antiquated, but its a lot of fun given that they feel like a return to pre-1990 Eastern Europe (like many things in Nis). They cost is 40 denara per person and perhaps the most fun is the way everyone stares at you because you're the first foreigner to take a public bus in 4 years.

A 4 hour trip from Belgrade on an old, slow but fairly comfortable train.
Station about a 15 minute walk to the centre. Plenty of buses or taxis available though. See website for timetables.

Moved on from Niš to Skopje by bus. Large and busy bus station just out of the town centre, Bulevar 12 Februar is the address, easy enough to buy a ticket, be ready to write down the depstination and time though.
Used Niš express, comfortable enough journey with a delay on the Macedonian border of around an hour (roadworks)
