[SONICA
2011 - LOCATION]

Our new venue is only 80km
from Montenegrin capital Podgorica, which is where the main airport
is located and only 20km from
Montenegrin port of Bar. From the airport or from the port you
can also easy rent a car or get a taxi. Prices are affordable and fair even for
long routes.

Montenegro's currency is Euro €, so you won't need to change
your money and as in all developing countries you can easily find
cash-machines, banks, hotels and all regular facilities. Many hotels,
bungalows, apartments or simple rooms are available around the festival
area, but we really suggest you to start checking on time as the festival
period is at the start of the summer season, so there will be a large
influx of tourists looking to stay on the beautiful Montenegrin coastal
zone.

[SONICA
2011 – TRANSPORT]

The venue is easily to reach by any kind of transport and here are the
best ways to get to the festival:

last few years, we recommend you book your flights in advance in order to
get the best possible fares. If you are not able to find affordable fares

Hungarian Airlines or Croatia Airlines for direct flights to Podgorica
from the main European capitals.
