A Cultural Mosaic – Whole of Europe in One City

Belgrade is perhaps the most beautiful and culturally diverse European capital you have never visited before. The city feels like a mosaic of European charm: you will find a bit of Paris and Vienna in its historic architecture, the alternative energy of Berlin, a touch of Barcelona’s vibe, and historical layers of Istanbul and Moscow. Most recently, with the Belgrade Waterfront development, it has even added a sleek bit of Dubai to its skyline.

A Long-Awaited Return

Belgrade proudly hosted the 11th ICoMST back in 1965. Now, after waiting patiently for 62 years, the city is more than ready to welcome another landmark event, showcasing its modernized infrastructure, premium hospitality, and famous Serbian warmth.
