Transport from the airport to the hotel

From the airport, there is a minibus A1 that goes directly to Slavija square, where Hotel Slavija Lux is, the timetable can be found here. It costs 400 dinars, and it has to be paid in cash, so we recommend that you a exchange a small amount of euros (e.g. 10 EUR) at the airport, as the exchange rates are not so good there. Note that the last minibus leaves at 8 pm.

If you need a taxi, make sure to catch an official one. You can buy taxi vouchers at the airport's arrivals level; find them here.

Transport from the bus station to the hotel

For those who will come by bus: pay attention whether the final destination of your bus is the  Belgrade Bus Station or somewhere else. Here we explain how to go from the Belgrade Bus Station to the hotel.

From the bus station, find the street Nemanjina and go up to the end of the street until you reach a big roundabout, there you will find the Slavija Square and Hotel Slavija Lux, see here for Google Maps instructions.

If you want to use public transport, you can use the tram number 9 and buses 78, 83 or EKO2 to get to Slavija Square and then you can walk to the hotel.

Going to the school venue

From Hotel Slavija Lux to the Faculty of Mathematics or to the Mathematical Institute:

Public transport: you can take bus 31 from Slavija or a trolleybus 29 until their last stop, and you are almost there. For regular public transport, you can download an application Beograd Plus app to your phone and buy the tickets using it. In some buses, it is possible to pay by card. Attention: it is also possible to take minibus e9, but it costs 200 dinars for the ride, as it is not a regular form of public transport.

Walking: You can walk on the street Kralja Milana until the Republic's Square.

Then, for the Faculty of Mathematics, you continue to street Vase Čarapića and then turn right to Studentski Trg when you see a park (Stsudentski park). See here.

For the Mathematical Institute, go to the main walking street, Kneza Mihaila, and walk until number 36. Nearby, there is a big white drinking fountain. See here.

Official dinners:

1st week: Restaurant Stara Hercegovina, 12. 9. 2024. at 7 pm

The second restaurant is not in the city centre. If the weather is nice, we will organise a walk along the river Danube to the restaurant, it will take one hour by foot.  Another possibility is to go there by public transport. Of course, if you want some alternative way, we will not stop you.
