CULTURAL & BUSINESS CENTER
Sava Center is a versatile congress center located in the heart of the business district of New Belgrade and is in close proximity to major hotels.
With its functional concept, it holds a unique position on the map of European congress centers, as it offers three different experiences in one place: congress, business, and culture.
With an area of 100,000 m2, Sava Center is one of Belgrade’s most significant landmarks in the field of modern architecture. Conceived by architect Stojan Maksimović and opened in 1977, it was nominated for the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, often referred to as the “Oscar of architecture”.







Serbia’s capital is one of Europe’s oldest cities.
Built at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, Belgrade is rightly known as “the Gate of the Balkans” and “the Doors to Central Europe”.
Ruins of a Neolithic settlement have been unearthed nearby, while the first settlement on the site of the modern city was the Celtic town of Singidunum, which was built here in the 3rd Century BCE. The city changed hands with the arrival of Romans in the 1st Century, only to be conquered by Slavs in the 6th Century. Throughout history many nations have fought over it – Hungarians, Ottoman Turks, Austrians – resulting in the city being razed to the ground and rebuilt as many as 38 times throughout its history. In 1841, Belgrade became the capital city of Serbia.
"The sky above Belgrade is wide and high, unstable but always beautiful; even during winter serenities with their icy splendour; even during summer storms when the whole of it turns into a single gloomy cloud which, driven by the mad wind, carries the rain mixed with the dust of panonian plain; even in spring when it seems that it also blooms, along with the ground; even in autumn when it grows heavy with the autumn stars in swarms. Always beautiful and rich, as a compensation to this strange town for everything that isn't there, and a consolation because of everything that shouldn't be there. But the greatest splendour of that sky above Belgrade, that are the sunsets. In autumn and in summer, they are broad and bright like desert mirages, and in winter they are smothered by murky clouds and dark red hazes. And in every time of year frequently come the days when the flame of that sun setting in the plain, between the rivers beneath Belgrade, gets reflected way up in the high celestial dome, and it breaks there and pours down over the scattered town. Then, for a moment, the reddish tint of the sun paints even the remotest corners of Belgrade and reflects into the windows, even of those houses it otherwise poorly illuminates."

The national drink is rakia (various traditional fruit brandies).
Beer has become recently popular and is enjoyed in Serbia, even outpacing the traditional raki and wine.
