• Buses/Shuttles: Regular bus services run from Belgrade bus station to Novi Sad, with some routes stopping near the fairgrounds. Festival shuttle buses may operate from Novi Sad city centre and key accommodation areas during event days.

• Late-Night Return: Plan your journey home in advance as public transport services reduce significantly after midnight. Last trains to Belgrade typically depart around 11pm, with limited night bus options available.

🏨 Where to Stay

Since camping isn't available at Green Love Festival 2026, you'll need to book accommodation in Novi Sad well in advance, as the city's hotels and hostels fill up quickly during the festival period. The best options are hotels in Novi Sad's city centre, particularly around Trg Slobode and the pedestrian zone, which offer easy access to public transport links to the festival site. Budget travellers should look at hostels like Hostel Ark or Downtown Hostel, whilst those wanting more comfort can consider Hotel Park or Hotel Vojvodina. Private apartments through booking platforms are increasingly popular for Green Love Festival 2026, especially in the Stari Grad area, and often work out cheaper if you're travelling in a group. Book your Novi Sad accommodation by February 2026 at the latest, as prices rise significantly closer to the festival dates and availability becomes scarce. Consider staying slightly outside the city centre in areas like Petrovaradin or Sremska Kamenica if central options are full—these areas still have good bus connections to reach Green Love Festival 2026's venue. Many attendees also look at accommodation in nearby towns like Sremski Karlovci, though you'll need to factor in additional travel time and costs.
