Hotels near Niš Airport

Constantine the Great airport is just 4 km from downtown Niš: a taxi gets there in 10-15 minutes, so distance is almost never a deciding factor, unlike at many other airports. It's more worth distinguishing between an address a step from the terminal, handy for a dawn flight, and one in the Medijana district, downtown, next to the Fortress and King Milan Square.
