A licensed taxi in Belgrade Important: There are so many unlicensed taxi drivers around main bus and railway station trying to wheedle you to use their service. Immediately, when you step out from a train or bus they will surround you and try to "push" you in their car. They don't have price list and they are negotiated with you for a price. And if you accept that, be sure that you will pay more then you used regular one. So ensure that you pick a licensed taxi, which has two plates on the roof. One is normal "Taxi" plate and the other one is a small blue sign featuring the city's coat of arms and a number.
