http://www.eacs-conference2011.com/eacs2011/redaktion/tagungsort/City_of_Belgrade.php City of Belgrade Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is located in Southeastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It has a continental climate and due to its remarkable geographical position, is appropriately called the "gateway to the Balkans". Belgrade is also the capital of Serbian culture, education, science and economy. As a result of its tumultuous history, Belgrade has been home to many nationalities for centuries. In the age of the Roman Empire, it was called Singidunum and many years later, the name was changed to Belgrade, the White City. This name originates from the beautiful white stones from which Belgrade was made. When in Belgrade, you're sure to be impressed by the soul and history of the city, which Serbs are very proud of. There is no place in the world with such a natural combination of oriental passion and European fisse. For more information about Belgrade and Serbia, please visit: Getting to Belgrade Belgrade is a crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe and is connected to these regions by two major European highways, the E-70 and the E-75. The two coach stations (BAS and Lasta) have a total of 80 departure platforms and 20 arrival platforms, with a daily turnover of more than 1,400 coaches. An extensive rail network connects Belgrade with all corners of Europe. Trains are operational 24/7.
