Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) lists no smoking area before security. After security, its departures map of August 2023 marks a smoking room by Gate C3, and the latest account travellers gave, in August 2025, is that smoking is banned inside both terminals and connecting passengers pass border and security controls to smoke outside; the airport publishes nothing newer, so ask staff whether the room is open. Smoke in the open air outside the terminal building, before security, and ask staff for the nearest spot; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Where to Smoke at Belgrade Airport
Smoking at BEG is outdoors and before security. Serbian law bans smoking in enclosed public spaces that serve as waiting rooms or stations for passengers, so step outside the terminal building before you clear security, or after you leave arrivals. Belgrade Airport publishes no location for a smoking spot outside the building, so ask staff for the nearest one; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.
Smoking After Security (Airside)
Belgrade Airport’s departures map, dated August 2023, marks a smoking room by Gate C3, after security. The latest account travellers gave is from August 2025: smoking banned inside both terminals, with connecting passengers passing border and security controls to smoke outside and clearing security again on the way back in. Earlier accounts trace the change: travellers described the room by Gate C3 as open in January 2023 and as closed in August 2024. The airport publishes nothing newer than the map on the room, its closure or a reopening, so on a connection ask staff on arrival whether the room is open and allow time to go out and re-clear security if it is not.
Vaping at Belgrade Airport
Belgrade Airport publishes no rule on e-cigarettes or heated-tobacco devices, so ask staff before you vape.
