Even if I was not in the possibility to come this evening, I think that the Universiade was a good occasion for me to write this review... about one of the most modern buildings that appeared in Belgrade. I had a chance to go to see it a few times - it's architecture is so simple and marvelous at the same time! The only thing that I do not really like is the fact that the parking is not underground but built on the same level - it makes that, when we use the highway, we see the parking first, and only after the Arena!!!
The interior is as almost all building of that purpose, shops and services area of course, all around the arena, the VIP area that of course, normal people cannot really see! I was pleasantly surprised to discover everything is so clean (which I couldn`t bellive, seeing all the people that must pass by all the rooms!)... Great thing also, for concerts and other manifestations, I found always a perfect organisation, a very good sound, and especially the possibility to see everything from (almost) everywhere! I'm not in the Arena tonight, but I'll be back with pleasure, for a concert again or some manifestation... For the moment, I will enjoy seeing sports events organised in it...
And the most famous sparrow just flied away from trivago...
now is in Serbia, in Belgrade Arena ...
for a while...
