Family Days Out in Serbia: Fares by Child Age

October 18, 2026

Children’s fares in Serbia depend on age, and the cut-off differs from one attraction to the next, so this guide is sorted by what each ticket office asks. Costs are in dinars (RSD), about 117 to the euro. For safety, the US rates Serbia Level 2 for crime and the British government warns that demonstrations can turn violent at short notice, so steer your family away from any gathering.

Fares by age

Under 6: free on the Šargan Eight train if the child has no seat, free in the Gold Gondola when travelling with an adult, and free at Golubac under age 7.
Ages 6 to 11: the gondola charges 1,000 RSD for a return trip, against 2,000 RSD for anyone from 12.
Ages 6 to 14: the Šargan Eight charges 750 RSD, half the adult 1,500 RSD.
Ages 7 to 18: Golubac’s Green Zone costs 250 RSD, and the adult price is 950 RSD.
With a parent: Lepenski Vir takes 150 RSD for a child, and an adult pays 600 RSD.

Trains and cable cars

The Šargan Eight is a heritage diesel train at Mokra Gora that crosses 5 bridges and passes through 22 tunnels over 15.5 km in roughly an hour. It runs until about 30 October and returns in a shorter winter form. Mokra Gora is about 3.5 to 4 hours from Belgrade, so stay overnight. The Gold Gondola above Zlatibor takes 25 minutes to climb 9 km to Tornik, and an autumn afternoon works only if you ride before the last ascent at 15:00. Ask goldgondola.rs whether wind has paused it.

Fortress and archaeology

Golubac Fortress is a medieval stronghold on the Danube. Families should buy the Green Zone only, because the other two zones are for adults. It is closed on Mondays, and in October it opens from 10:00 to 16:00. The fortress site gives monthly hours. Lepenski Vir shows a replica house and an exhibition about a settlement from roughly 6500 to 4500 BCE, and a visit lasts 60 to 90 minutes. It is closed throughout February.

Đavolja Varoš

At Đavolja Varoš, 202 natural earth figures stand between 2 and 15 m high. The site charges 350 RSD and is closed from December to March. Two springs are very acidic, measured at pH 1.5 and 3.5, so hold small hands and keep everyone away from the water. It is 288 km from Belgrade, so combine it with a stay in Niš.

In and around Belgrade

Belgrade Zoo sits within Kalemegdan Park. A report puts tickets at about 600 RSD for adults and 400 RSD for children.
Museum of Science and Technology on Skender-begova has a science playroom for hands-on experiments, and entry was reported at about 300 RSD.
Nikola Tesla Museum runs 45-minute tours with a coil demonstration. The English tour is 800 RSD, in cash.
Ada Ciganlija has a lake 8 km around, a 7 km flat loop for bicycles and quadricycles, pedal boats and playgrounds. Bikes rent for roughly 300 to 500 RSD an hour. Swimming weather is summer.
Aeronautical Museum, next to the airport, displays about 50 historic aircraft.

City buses, trams and trolleybuses are free for all passengers, so the family can ride without tickets. Look at Belgrade family tours for a guided day.
