About EXPO 2027
In 2027, Belgrade will host the Specialised Expo — an international event held every few years that brings together pavilions from countries around the world. This year’s theme: «Play for Humanity» — sport and music as a universal language.
In practice, that means 92 days of shows, concerts, national showcases, and a whole lot of people in the city at the same time.

The site will include 7 exhibition pavilions, a National Stadium, and the Expo Village residential complex — which will become a regular residential neighbourhood after the event closes.
What’s On
93 days, 8,000+ events, 130+ countries. The programme is built around three sub-themes — each explored through a rotating schedule of exhibitions, performances, and live events.
Play as a path to healing and sustainability
Pavilions and events focused on how sport and creativity contribute to mental health, community resilience, and environmental thinking.
Play as a driver of innovation and imagination
Technology, AI, and creative industries explored through interactive installations — including sound labs where visitors discover music hidden in everyday objects.
Music, performance, and visual art
Daily live performances — from floating stage concerts to murals being painted in real time. Something new every day across the 93-day run.
Each country organises its own National Day — a full day of cultural programme, food, and performances. Check the official schedule at expobelgrade2027.org to plan around the countries you want to see.
Getting There
The expo site is in Surčin — the western part of the city, right next to Nikola Tesla Airport. By 2027, the transport picture here will look completely different.
Choose an apartment within walking distance of a BG Voz station — it’s the only transport that definitely won’t be stuck in traffic in the summer of 2027.
Where to Rent an Apartment
The short answer: the closer to EXPO, the more expensive and the fewer long-term options. But there are three areas where a sensible balance of price, convenience, and availability will hold — even at the height of the event.
High demand
The sweet spot: between the city centre and the EXPO site, with strong infrastructure and direct routes to the venue. During the expo, short-term rentals will dominate — long-term listings will disappear fast and prices will rise most sharply here.

Balanced
A charming old town on the Danube. Easy access to the Autoput motorway bypassing the city centre — less noise, great food scene. Ideal for those who want more than just the expo.
