Most recently, empty buildings and spaces of the once main industrial riverside zone of Belgrade are being reactivated by becoming multifunctional dynamic art spaces. In this way, it seems the two rivers on which the city stands, the Sava and the Danube, are becoming a new center of urban life. More and more, artists are dealing with, investigating and stressing out the specific issues and problems found in our society.
In Belgrade, be curious (because Belgrade is also curious about you:)! Interesting places and people are sometimes hidden and hard to see at first sight... but rewarding once you find them!
I'm your guide to the curiosities and vibrant contemporary art happenings in Belgrade!

Re: looking for appartment
Hi Judith, I can recommend a really good
hostel, located on the river, floating actually:)
Maybe you know about it, it's Arkabarka, it's
pretty inexpensive,
*
Also, if it's specifically an apartment you are
looking for, I can ask some people and contact
you through your inbox,
Best, Isidora
Re: looking for appartment
Hi Judith, I can recommend a very good hostel
which isn't very typical, it's called Arkabarka
and it's located right on the river, floating :)
A night there is pretty inexpensive you can
check out the website

I will also ask some people about renting an
apartment if that is what you are looking for.
All my best

Belgrade with Isidora was just great.
We had a wonderful time and saw a lot we would have missed without her!
She is a great guide!

Re: Curious in Belgrade
Hi Emina, well summer is pretty hot in BG so it is nice to be outside during the steamy hot days and nights. The BELEF festival is still going on, it is a small summer festival of Belgrade. Concerts of Serbian, Croatian and other musicians are going on every night at the Kalemegdan park but also film projections and other presentations at the same location during the day.
I'm curious too
. what about this summer? Any recommendations?
A great way to get to know Belgrade!
Isidora,
thank's again for showing me around in Belgrade - great to see the faculty of Fine Arts and the work of all the students and feel part of all that for a day. Hope you are doing well, See you again In Belgrade!
Mirco
So when will you come to Amsterdam?
A guide needs to rest as well, right?
