Stari Grad, the old town around Knez Mihailova and Republic Square, is the best area for the festival, because the main screening venues sit within a short walk and the hostel scene is concentrated here. It is lively at night, well lit and busy with other solo travelers, which makes it easy to meet people and walk back late after screenings.Savamala, the riverside district near the Sava, is the second pick. It is cheaper and full of bars and clubs, though a few side streets are quiet at night, so stay on the main roads after dark.Dorćol, to the northeast of the old center, is calmer and more residential, with cafés, small bars and tree-lined streets. It suits travelers who want sleep between screenings, and it is a 15 to 20 minute walk to most venues.Skadarlija and Vračar are fine alternatives if the central areas are full, and both have good tram and bus links.
