Travel Information
As Petnica is a small village, there is no bus connection, but a shuttle bus will be available from the Valjevo bus and train stations located 7km from Petnica. So, participants (if not arriving by car directly to Petnica Science Center) should come to Valjevo, from where an organized free shuttle bus will bring them to Petnica Science Center.
More detailed information will be available in due time. Also, the LOC will provide assistance with traveling to Petnica Science Center in every way once the registration is closed.
If you travel by plane
Valjevo can easily be reached by plane via Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.
Once you arrive at the airport, you can either go by bus or by train to Valjevo, or you can rent a car and go directly to Petnica from the airport.
If you want to rent a car, you can do that for a reasonable price at the airport. You can find a list of car rental agencies and more information here.
If you are coming by public transport, join the Belgrade central bus and train stations, which are well connected to Valjevo. At the airport, you can take a bus or a taxi, which can take you to these stations.
If you travel by bus or train
If you travel by bus or train, the best way is to go to Belgrade and from the Belgrade central bus and train stations to Valjevo by bus or train.
