Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia and the capital of the province of Vojvodina, set in the northern part of the country in Europe. It is a city that many visitors come to for its music, its fortress and its relaxed pace.
What draws visitors
- EXIT music festival, the event the city is best known for, which brings large crowds to the area.
- Petrovaradin Fortress, a major landmark that sits across the Danube from the city centre.
- The city centre, a convenient base for walking between cafés, shops and the riverside.
Planning a visit
Novi Sad suits a short stay as well as a longer one. Because the fortress and the festival are the two features most often mentioned, many people build their trip around them, then spend the rest of their time exploring the streets and the waterfront at an easy pace.
If you are considering a visit, it is worth checking the dates of the festival in advance, as it draws many people and affects accommodation and travel plans. Known in Cyrillic as Нови Сад, the city is an easy place to get around on foot once you arrive.
