Some tips when you take the train.
Check if a railplus is available for you and check if it saves traveling costs. It gives 25% reduction (on parts) of the railwayroute. In the Netherlands it costs ? 15,- when you have a reduction card of the railways.
In some countries like Germany you save money when travelling from 2 till 5 persons. - Please make a travel appointment and buy your tickets together. This cheaper tickets (APEX 7) must be bought at least 7 days before.
When you want to have couchets (sleepingplaces) you must be early. - You cannot reserve couchets (sleepingplaces) for the way back from Serbia to home. You should have to do that in Serbia with your ticket or be happy with seats.

Cyrilic Alphabet

In Serbia all streetnames are in Cyrilic letters, while on the maps you can buy at nearly every kiosk, they use latin. It is handy to learn the most of the symbols.

You should keep in mind a lot of people in Serbia don't speak English, so you better have this Alphabet printed with you.
