About this venue
MTS Dvorana - Sala 1 is the main multipurpose auditorium within one of central Belgrade's distinctive cultural complexes. It occupies the protected former Trade Union Hall building, whose architectural identity was preserved through an extensive renovation. Sala 1 accommodates approximately 1,380 visitors and is designed for concerts, theatre performances, film premieres, festivals and other large-scale events.
The interior places particular emphasis on acoustics and audience comfort. Wooden wall panels help shape the sound, while acoustically tested seats, approximately one metre of spacing between rows, and seating across the stalls, balcony and boxes provide comfortable viewing for longer events. The hall features modern concert sound equipment, Dolby audio and 4K projection technology, with food and beverage facilities also available within the wider venue complex.
The venue is located at Dečanska 14, Belgrade, Serbia, next to Nikola Pašić Square. There is no dedicated on-site car park, but the Pionirski park and Zeleni venac parking garages are only a few minutes' walk away, while the Terazije public transport stop is approximately 130 metres from the venue. From Terazije, a short walk towards Nikola Pašić Square and Dečanska Street leads to the entrance. For broader information on travelling around Belgrade, see the city guide further down the page.
About the city: Belgrade
Belgrade, Serbia’s vibrant capital, is known for an energy you can feel at every step and for a calendar that stays packed with top-tier events throughout the year. As a city where cultures and styles meet, it delivers an excellent mix of major sports spectacles and concerts, paired with an atmosphere that easily turns into an all-day outing. Visitors appreciate that the experience doesn’t end with a ticket: Belgrade is a place where you enjoy the walk, the social buzz, and the nightlife just as much before and after the event.
For arriving and getting around, you can rely on GSP Beograd, the network of buses, trams, and trolleybuses that covers the city’s key areas, as well as BG Voz, which conveniently connects the wider urban zone. If you’re coming by train, a solid reference point is Belgrade Centre railway station (Prokop), from which it’s easy to continue toward districts with arenas and stadiums. If you arrive by air, Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is the natural gateway, and transfers toward the center and major venues are typically quick and straightforward. This combination of transport options makes Belgrade a friendly city for a day trip, but also for an extended weekend.
If you have time before or after the event, Belgrade rewards curiosity. Head to Kalemegdan, a historic area with views of the confluence of the Sava and the Danube, then follow the pedestrian zone of Knez Mihailova toward Republic Square, one of the city’s main meeting points. For a different vibe, Skadarlija brings bohemian charm and the rhythm of the old town, while riverside walks and urban promenades create the perfect contrast to the evening crowds.
Accommodation and gastronomy make planning even easier: from hotels in the very center to practical options across the broader city area, the range suits different budgets. Belgrade’s kafanas and contemporary restaurants are a great choice for warming up before you enter the venue or unwinding after the program ends. If you want a city where logistics don’t overpower the experience and the atmosphere naturally extends the event, Belgrade delivers it without complications.
