Hotels and other places to stay in Niška Banja
Niška Banja lies at about 248 m above sea level at the foot of Koritnik, roughly 10 km from Niš (rounded, according to a spa association). The first decision is not which hotel but which location: in the spa town or in the city. The two give you a different rhythm of day.
This is an independent guide and it does not sell rooms. Check the address, offer and current details of private hotels, villas and apartments directly with the owner, and ask each place for the total price for your dates.
