On the Road Festival

On the road travel festival inspires people to travel in every direction and discover the unknown. We cordially invite you to three days filled with inspiration—featuring 40+ travel presentations and discussions—at the Ružinov Cultural Centre (DK Ružinov) from November 6 to 8, 2026.

Cestou necestou is not about destinations. It is about the decision to set off, about freedom, doubts, and fear—as well as the joy of being on the move.

What awaits you at the festival?
