FINAL GRADE: 4.98 THREE MEETING STARS ⭐⭐⭐ Convention Centre
Certified: 2024
Sava Center may seem like a brand-new congress centre, but its name betrays a prosperous decades-long history. Thanks to the regenerative renovation of the venue and new planned investments, this area of Belgrade has acquired a congress district in dimensions not found at any other destination between Vienna and Istanbul and Milano and Baku. Sava Center’s original design was hybrid – merging congress, cultural, business and shopping functions. The shopping area once looked like a precursor of modern shopping centres. We were fascinated by how the architects revamped the shopping area and made it look refined.
In hindsight, it may sound grandiose that Sava Center announced it would connect north and south, east and west. But, after opening, that is precisely where it positions. Much like during its inauguration, the look of the congress centre divides visitors; some argue it would suffice to demolish the centre and build anew, while others vociferously advocate the aesthetic intervention was a success. We consider ourselves among the latter. EXPO 2027 certainly has the potential to make it a global superstar.
