Admission to the House of Flowers is included in the ticket price for the adjoining Museum of Yugoslavia.

The House of Flowers is located within the Museum of Yugoslavia complex and conveniently accessible by various modes of transportation. Guided tours often include transportation to the mausoleum, along with numerous other Belgrade landmarks. If you prefer public transit, take bus number 41 from Republic Square (Trg Republike) to the Museum of Yugoslavia (Muzej Jugoslavije) stop, just a few minutes walk to the House of Flowers.
The House of Flowers is generally open Tuesday to Sunday from morning to early evening and closed on Mondays. To make the most of your visit, consider arriving early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
