Since there will be so many participants with different expectations we decided to leave it to you to choose and book your hotel and pay for accommodation directly to the hotel.
Some of the hotels have their own parking, wellness center, transfer from /to the airport, etc. but you better check this for yourself depending on your needs.
We strongly recommend booking a.s.a.p.
Our top suggestion:
Hotel „N“ in Bilećka Street, No. 57.
Website: https://hotel-n.rs/home.
It is close to the place of the Masters Course. It is clean, comfortable and rather big (130 rooms) with a garage and outside parking. Just across the street there is a pizzeria. Since this hotel is very popular due to its best price/service ratio, we kindly advise you to book a.s.a.p. Those knowing GMs Gerhard Agrinz and Mladen Kuznik can ask them about impressions because they were guests of the hotel.
Other hotels close to the place of the Masters Course:
Hotel „M“, Bulevar Oslobodjenja Street, No. 52a,
Website: www.hotel-m.com/en/.
Hotel „Sterling“, Pazinska Street, No. 31,
Website: https://hotelsterling.rs/index.php/sr/homepage/.
You can choose any other hotel, but for your own convenience please mind that it is not too far from Sport Center „Vozdovac“ on Banjica (the place of the Masters Course), so that you do not loose much time in traffic. In choosing a hotel you may possibly find useful some of these sites:

Serbia and Belgrade as its capital, are famous for healthy and tasty food. You can eat wherever you wish, but check prices before ordering, because they may vary significantly.
The only food we organize is (for those who apply for it) is Gala Dinner on Friday evening (May 26), with live music. The cost is 30 euros per person.
On Saturday and Sunday (May 27-28) during the Lunch pause, you can eat in any of restaurants next to the place of the Masters Course. Prices are from 3-4 euros for fast food (eg. burger), 5-8 e. for pizza, or 8 e. for spaghetti (all mentioned, without beverages) to 20-35 euros for full restaurant lunch with drinks.
Belgrade Airport "Nikola Tesla" is about 20 km from the city itself.
Unfortunately, due to a large number of participants and different arrival times, as well as due to the condensed program it will not be possible for us to wait for you at the airport.
It is best to take a taxi by looking for a taxi box at the airport itself, just before leaving the facility. When you tell them where you are going (name of hotel or part of the city) they will give you a voucher with the price written on it and that's all you pay the driver - similar to New York. These taxis are located in the parking lot on the left as you exit the building. Since the price should be around 25-30 euros in RSD, we suggest that before leaving the airport building you change some 40-50 euros to RSD. Do not take the taxis that stand right in front of the airport building and those who offer themselves as they will want to charge you much more.
Another option is to arrange with your hotel for them to send you a vehicle or to refer you to a partner company that deals with this.
Serbian currency is dinar (RSD).
We suggest changing your money to exchange offices because usually, they have better rates than hotels.
On March 11, 2023, the rate is somewhat about:
1 EUR = 117,09 RSD
1 CHF = 119,54 RSD
1 USD = 109,98 RSD
Do not be surprised that, for reasons of convenience, in practice, 1 euro is often rounded to 120 dinars. You won't be able to calculate it like that in the exchange office or bank, but it is often done in everyday life, because it is easier to convert the prices of goods and services from one currency to another, while the difference is mostly insignificant.
