The large hall covers the area of 48 000 m2 and has six levels, the seating capacity of 20 000 - 25 000, depending on the event to be held.

So it can has capacity of 25 000 which is the largest of Europe You should read carefully and whole page

About links... yep, independent or CNN are hold by 100% Serbs.

Really don't wanna arguing, especially coz I like Romanians... Ask your parents what kind of reputation Belgrade had for decades for neighbour countries

This thread is made to represent an city to people who'd like to travel somewhere, who'd like to meet other cultures.
Anyway, Belgrade has population of 2,000,000 citizens. Serbia has 10,000,000 people.
The world known travel agency said that Belgrade is the best city for NIGHTLIFE.

Agree mate

Belgrade is indeed a great city but...
I am sure everyone in Sofia will say that there is the best nightlife and parties, greeks will say that about Athens and romanians about Bucharest... this is somehow typical for us in eastern europe and its a provincial mentality.
And also how on earth u can call Belgrade the bigest city in eastern europe when there are Bucharest and Budapest, or even Sofia nearby who are clearly bigger?! not talking about Kiev or Warsaw... bigest in ex-Yugo? yes; in estern Europe or Balkans? no way
Everything should be correct and honest.

About the best party, it is said by foreigns, f.e. Independent UK, CNN USA, then web sites like Lonly Planet and you know it's renominated one It says that Belgrade has the best party world wide, then 2nd place is Montreal, then Buenos Aires, etc...

Belgrade got that reputation. No doubt, Greeks know to party too... But Belgrade is consider as New York of Europe coz it lives 24hours a day whole week, whole year.

About that... it was mention in south-east Europe, after Athens and Istanbul and it is 3rd largest after them. Sofia is a bit smaller, while Bucharest is consider to be eastern Europe

UN geoscheme - red is eastern Europe... So after Istanbul and Athens, Belgrade is the 3rd largest in south-east Europe and in Balkans and it is awarded as the City of future of whole south Europe I think 2 years ago.

Cheers mate

I really enjoyed my time when I visited Belgrade last year.

Belgrade is the biggest city in the north-eastern part of south-eastern Europe.
Also it is no.1 party city in the world: people dance and drink on the way to their jobs. There are 5000 W speakers installed on every bus, trolley-bus, and every corner of a street. Also there is a street carnival all year long 24/7. Children are learning from the age of 5 how to dance samba, and how to party with foreign tourists until the sun appears on the sky. People are taking half of the year off, just to entertain foreign tourists. (that's why is the country so poor, because nobody really works anymore) People don't even need jobs anymore, they don't eat anything, they just party party party Half of the journalists quit from CNN just to stay in Belgrade and party with the beautiful girls.
10million people from New York want to move to Belgrade and other cities on the top 10 party-list, like Baku,Azerbaijan or La Paz, Bolivia. They say life got too boring in NY.
Belgrade wants to expend it's airport to increase the traffic from 2.3 million passangers/year (in 2009, one of the smallest traffic in a European-capital city) to 20 mill. They say they cannot keep up with the millions of party-tourists coming from every corner of the world.

Guys, this has gone too far!
Someone who might be reviewing this thread can really see our poor Balcan mentality! Its not all about being 1st, biggest, largest. For example, few decades ago Belgrade was much smaller but was a metropola! And today even though it is bigger, Belgrade lost a lot of things that made it a big city! For me as a born Belgrader these awards for best party city are nothing special. Panem et circenses! I am a big critic of my city because I love it. And today no one seems to care for Belgrade, just to take advantage of it!
But it still has a lot to offer to its guests. And what our friend from Zagreb (Ultraflash) says is just not correct. Belgrade is famous for being a great host for all of its guests wherever they come from. Sure there are some exceptions but these people are usually not Belgraders.
Belgrade needs time and new people to rise up to its potential, but in the meantime you are all welcome to see the city as it is still the best way to judge it!

I agree 100% !!! Sorry for being sarcastic before, but as i said in an earlier post, i think that this party categorization, which is a subjective one is foolish. Also saying about a city that it is the biggest in some geographical region, or that it has the biggest sports-hall or church, doesn't make anybody wanna visit it. I could also say that Bucharest has the 2nd biggest building in the world(biggest in Europe) , but it's not really a thing for the city to be proud of(i quess you know why). Also there is an orthodox cathedral under construction which will surpass the one in Belgrade. Also it has nothing to do with the spirit of the city. And i could say that the biggest parties are here, where i work, on Crete, with millions of tourists having fun 24/7. But who cares? Great parties are everywhere in the world. What's important is what kind of people are you with.
So i think that a history-rich town like Belgrade has a lot more to offer. And who cares if it has a population of 1 or 5 million. I don't understand why some of you get all excited about this. It's not a thing to be ashamed for.(personally i consider overcrowded cities are more stressful). We were just quoting some official data about the population and the capacity of a sports hall.

My dear friend. The seating-capacity of a sports arena is measured by the number of seats it has on the stands. Of course for a concert the capacity increases for every sport arena in the world, because the field which is being used for the games, becomes a space for spectators, thus increasing the capacity of spectators being able to get in the arena. Nobody says about the Nou Camp in Barcelona that it has a capacity of 110-120.000, because it has only 98.000, but imagine how many people can stand on the pitch. Why do you think that the official site of ArenaBeograd is listing the arena with only 19.900??? Comon' man! Get it together! Cheers!

Well, you're right, and wrong... We, Serbs, really like to show off. Like in literature about Kosovo fights in 1st and 2nd Serbian uprising. It says how much can we stand the pain, that the even strongest man can't be in pain after it, e.g. putting the nails under hand's and feet's nails, firing the chest hair, but the thing is that song says that the man is playing dead, and he can't do anything, even move. If he does he'll be killed by Turkish side.
This was an e.g. about us, Serbs, how much can we show off and "make a mountain out of a molehill".... But still, you're right about the people taking advantage of it, that it's a great host...

About the pictures that Ultraflash posted. The picture of tram railway, all of those railway are going to be removed, and changed with brand new, for the new, modern trams. Those ruined buildings aren't from their age. They are from NATO bombing in many years.

When you finish that temple if it'll be greater than the one in Belgrade will be world's 2nd. Just finish it and we'll change fact

He's reported to moderator! I even doubt he's a Croat... I more think it's a job of previously banned Albanian. Anyhow, people who have been in Belgrade knows that Belgraders are very kind and great hosts so... Cheers and enjoy in photos

I personally hope they will never finish it. The total cost is over 500 million euro(from public money) and everybody in Romania is pretty revolted. Especially those who are not ortodox by religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania...tion_Cathedral

P.S i like J.Jankovic better.

@clouseau

Don't reply to this post. It is reported and as soon as mr.Tubeman see the post he will delete it. It is just nickname registered to provocate. Photos he had put are mainly from the NATO bombing time so don't be upset. Everyone who has been in Belgrade like Masonicstage can confirme that Belgrade looks nice.

@ evil78

You said that we should not quote wikipedia but you did it... anyhow... see... your temple will have space for just 5 000 believers, while st.Sava capacity is 11 000
