Accommodation

We would like to ask you to make the hotel reservation by yourself. We recommend hotel Palace, as it is reasonably priced and just 200 meters away from the Academy. You may book this or another accomodation option through Impala.

Travel

Belgrade is well connected by daily flights to major European cities. If you need assistance in booking your flight, you can order it through Impala as well. Agency also offers meet-and-greet service at the price of 20 euros (which is free if you happen to be booking your flight through them). Alternatively, you can take the minibus A1 from the airport and get off at the main bus station (see its schedule here).

There are also many daily bus and train rides to Belgrade from countries in the region. The main bus and travel stations are approximately 500 meters from the hotel Palace.

A valid passport is required to enter Serbia. Depending on your citizenship, visa may also be required - please consult the current visa regime prior to your arrival. If you need an invitation letter for visa purposes, please contact the partner tourist agency.
