The perfect break in Novi Sad: experience the best of this laid-back city

As a rule, Novi Sad , which straddles the banks of the Danube in Serbia ’s autonomous province of Vojvodina, keeps a low profile – even though it’s culturally diverse enough to have six official languages. Ask nearly any local to describe the city, and the most common phrases will inevitably be "laid-back" and "relaxed".

In 2021, the town was European Capital of Culture. It also attracted over 180,000 people to the 20th anniversary of award-winning music festival EXIT, the first major music event to take place in Europe since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

About an hour’s drive north from the Serbian capital Belgrade , settlements in the area of the Petrovaradin Fortress – Novi Sad’s calling-card attraction – date back thousands of years. With great wine from the slopes of nearby Fruška Gora mountain, hearty Vojvodinian food, a sandy beach on the Danube, and worthwhile galleries and museums, you’re in for a good time. Here's how to spend a fantastic couple of days in this historic city.

Day one: history, culture, and architecture

Tour the iconic fortress in the morning.

Start your pursuit of the perfect Novi Sad weekend where everything began, at the Petrovaradin Fortress . Many today see the ramparts as synonymous with the EXIT festival , making this one of the planet’s most iconic and unusual music venues. History buffs, however, see the site’s 18th-century citadel – on a 40m-high rock guarding the Danube – as one of the most ingenious systems of defence ever created. A maze of trenches, moats and walls constructed by the Austro-Hungarians protected its holdings during conflicts with the Ottoman Empire. After perusing the fortress and its museum , be sure to book a tour of 16km (10 miles) of spooky underground tunnels.

Wander the city center in the afternoon

Coming down from your strategic perch, cross the river and lose yourself in Novi Sad’s city center. Amble to the Gallery of Matica Srpska for one of the country’s most important cultural collections. Approximately 500 pieces from the 16th to 20th centuries provide a deeper insight into Serbian art, heritage, and traditions. After, stroll along the avenues of Zmaj Jovina and Dunavska – a classical Central European cityscape framed by cafes, boutiques, galleries, and Austro-Hungarian pastel- and mustard-colored architecture. A walk through the historic center between the Roman Catholic Church of the Name of Mary , the Orthodox St George Church , the Synagogue , City Hall, and the Bishop’s Palace is an architectural masterclass and a swirl of Secessionist, Neo-Gothic, and Neo-Renaissance styles. Then turn into Misha concept store, which provides a spotlight for around 50 local designers. The well-curated showroom is stocked with clothes, shoes, jewelry, and home items.

Enjoy dinner and live music in the evening

Make your way to Fish i Zeleniš  for an unexpected Mediterranean meal with only organic and in-season ingredients. Servers carry dishes from the kitchen across the street to a dining room with wooden plank floors, blue-and-white checkered tablecloths, and walls covered in old photos and vintage knickknacks like cooking ladles and scales. 

Things rev up in Novi Sad when the sun goes down. Stroll the main pedestrian thoroughfare, known colloquially as Corso, and pause at one of the many bars and pubs for a glass of local wine. Get into the mix at  PUBeraj , which serves cocktails and hosts DJs and live music several times a week.

Day two: explore beyond Novi Sad

Spend the morning touring wineries or the national park.

Part of the magic of being in Novi Sad is getting out of it – and into the beautiful surroundings south of the Danube on the slopes of Fruška Gora mountain. Here, vineyards stitch communities together, and wine and food are life’s essential elements. Start in the picturesque town of Sremski Karlovci – the gateway to the national park – where you can visit the region's wineries and winemakers. Follow one of the hiking and off-road biking trails through the forest of the national park, or visit one of the monasteries built in the hills here between the 15th and 18th centuries. 

Sample some local wines in the afternoon

Back in Novi Sad in the afternoon you might feel it's time to try some Serbian reds and whites. "The cultivation and production of wine in this part of Serbia is among the oldest in Europe," says Mirjana Maksimović, the president of Žene i Vino , an NGO committed to promoting Serbian wine. "Though nearly impossible to choose, try a white blend called Neoplanta, from Šijački Winery in the village of Banoštor. For a red, taste Probus, a blend from Milanović Winery in Surduk village."

Party into the evening in the Chinese Quarter

Later, head to Project 72 Wine & Deli , a bistro with a cosmopolitan take on local cuisine – and one of the best meals you’ll have in Novi Sad. The ingredients are sourced from small producers in Serbia and the menu changes with the season.

End the night investigating the so-called Chinese Quarter – a former industrial zone turned creative district comprising 10 buildings that once churned out metal products. Today the neighborhood is a community-driven project and incubator for cutting-edge artists, as well as a venue for music and dance. Check out the gigs and exhibitions at its next-door clubs The Quarter and Fabrika . 

Day three: chill out by the Danube  

Relax on the beach in the morning.

Begin your last day with a stroll to Štrand , Novi Sad’s 700m-long (2300ft-long) beach on the Danube. Luxuriate on the sand or in a cafe overlooking the water, as boats, birds, fishers, and swimmers go drifting along. If the tide is low, you can even cross over from its western end to the green haven of Fisherman’s Island ; or, if you feel like getting active (and the weather is nice), rent a bike from NS Bike or a kayak from Dunavski Rafting to explore the river along the Danube Cycling Path or from the water.

Have a leisurely lunch by the fort in the afternoon 

For a late lunch, go back to where you started – at the foot of the Petrovaradin Fortress you’ll find one of the most iconic restaurants in town, Čarda Aqua Doria . Make sure to secure reservations early and take a riverside seat inside the seductive, dark-wood dining room with views of the bridge. Toast the end of a great couple of days away with a glass of red from Fruška Gora before digging in to a fish stew or other delights from the Danube.

How to plan a great trip to Novi Sad

Novi Sad is less than an hour’s drive from Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport, the increasingly popular regional hub. There are multiple transfer options: bus, shuttle, taxi, and train. In town, there are plenty of lodging possibilities, from classic hotels to Airbnb. The huge rooms at Hotel Veliki , around the corner from happening Zmaj Jovina street, are a great central option.

A Guide to Novi Sad: Exploring Serbia’s Second City

Last Updated on: 13th March 2023, 01:33 am

Novi Sad, Serbia’s second-largest city, is touted by many as the country’s most charming. Despite being just 70 km from the capital, it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the 20th century, giving it a distinct look and feel. Now home to the annual EXIT Festival and having been designated a European Capital of Culture in 2022, the hype surrounding the city is growing. In the following Novi Sad guide, we’ll be covering the top things you shouldn’t miss in town.

Also be sure to check the end of the article for info on transportation and whether or not the city really lives up to the hype.

Novi Sad & Vojvodina: A Brief History

Novi Sad, officially founded at the end of the 17th century, is the capital of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, a region that’s been inhabited since at least the Neolithic Age. This era saw influences from ancient civilizations in both the Balkans and Central Europe, including the influential Vinča culture. 

Various cultures then established settlements throughout Vojvodina in the early Bronze Age. From the 4th century BC, Celtic tribes made their way into the region, while much of Vojvodina was inhabited by Illyrians.

The Romans then conquered the area in the 1st century AD, and much evidence of their reign can still be seen in cities like Sremska Mitrovica .

After the collapse of Western Rome, the Byzantines would establish control over the region, but the Slavs began invading from the 6th century. Then, by the early 9th century, groups like the Franks and Bulgarians came in. 

Later in the Middle Ages, the Hungarians took over, establishing Petrovaradin Fortress in the 14th century. T he Ottomans would control the region from the 16-17th centuries before the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy gained power. Serb-majority Novi Sad would then remain part of Austria-Hungary for centuries until the end of World War I. 

It was during Austro-Hungarian rule in the 18th century that Queen Maria Theresa designated Novi Sad as a ‘Free Royal City’ which gave it much autonomy. Its population soon expanded and it grew into a great cultural and political center, a status which it enjoys in modern Serbia today.

Central Novi Sad Guide

The historical portion of the city is centered around Trg Slobode , or Freedom Square. And it’s here that you’ll find the Roman Catholic Parish Church of the Name of Mary , perhaps the most iconic building in central Novi Sad. 

The Neo-Gothic building was designed by architect György Molnar in the 1890s, and the church towers over its surroundings at 73 m high.

On the other side of the square is the City Hall , a Neo-Renaissance building constructed in 1895. Interestingly, its tall tower was previously used to warn residents in case of fire. It was designed by the same architect as the nearby church.

In the center of the square, meanwhile, is a statue dedicated to Svetozar Miletić, a leader of an uprising against the Austrian Habsburg dynasty in the 19th century. He also once served as mayor.

The general area around the square is home to many more notable landmarks. Down Zmaj Jovina Street is the Bishop’s Palace of the Diocese of Backa . Originally built in 1741, the elegant structure represents an eclectic mix of styles that were in vogue at the time.

Just nearby is the Church of St. George , the largest Orthodox Church in the city. Its current incarnation was designed in the early 20th century, and the single-nave church is best known for its beautiful painted iconostasis.

Another architectural highlight of central Novi Sad is the synagogue , built in the early 20th century by Lipot Baumhorn, an architect from Budapest. 

It features three naves and a dome which rises to 40 m high. It was built in a Hungarian Secessionist style of architecture, a variation of Art Nouveau. 

This area became part of the original Jewish quarter upon Novi Sad’s declaration as a Free Royal City in the 18th century. Amazingly, it’s just one of four or five synagogues left standing in the entire country. 

As one might expect, central Novi Sad is full of coffee shops and restaurants, most of which specialize in local cuisine. But regardless of your tastes, don’t miss having a coffee at  Trčika , a coffee shop situated in a renovated old tram car!

Central Novi Sad is so elegant, in fact, that even the local H&M looks like it could be a museum!

The Vojvodina Museum

If you’ve already visited the National Museum in Belgrade , leave all your expectations at the door when entering the Museum of Vojvodina. This museum has an outdated look while its signage is in Serbian only. But is it worth visiting?

While not the most thrilling attraction in this Novi Sad guide, the museum is still worth it for those with a special interest in history, as it contains thousands of items.

While English signage is lacking, you can at least read English translations on laminated sheets of paper placed by each exhibition. It can be a pain to stand there and read so much small text, however.

The museum also contains a lot of interesting Neolithic artifacts in addition to displays on how different cultures buried their dead.

One of the top highlights is a set of three Roman helmets discovered at nearby Sremska Mitrovica , a city that’s well worth a day trip from Novi Sad .

• Dunavska 35
• 10:00 - 18:00
• Closed Mon.

Gallery of Matica Srpska

Arguably the top museum in town would be the Gallery of Matica Srpska. Originally founded in 1847, the large museum focuses on Serbian art from the 18th-20th centuries – most of it religious. Many of them were taken from churches around the region, including the nearby town of Sremski Karlovci . 

Comprehensive signage in English details how the art styles gradually changed over time, such as the transition from Eastern Orthodox church art to more of a baroque style.

Aside from the religious icons, other paintings depict important events from Serbian history. And there’s also a small section dedicated to contemporary art, though the official Museum of Contemporary art is not far away.

A visit to the Gallery of Matica Srpska is easily one of the top highlights of this Novi Sad guide.

• Trg Galerija 1
• 10:00 - 18:00 (Sat. & Sun), 20:00 (Tue. - Thur.), 22:00 (Fri.)

Petrovaradin Fortress

On the other side of the Danube River lies one of the largest fortresses in Europe. No visit to Novi Sad would be complete without a trip to Petrovaradin Fortress.

The hill was originally the site of a medieval Hungarian fortification. Later, upon Austria-Hungary’s victory over the Ottomans in the Great Turkish War of the 17th century, the Austrians decided to build a new fortress here in 1692. Incredibly, construction lasted all the way up until 1780.

Later, following World War I and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s takeover of the region, many Austrian fortresses were slated for destruction. While the exact reason remains unknown, the general in charge of Petrovaradin’s demolition simply refused to follow orders. 

As such, it remains Serbia’s only surviving Austrian fortification, and one of the most impressive in the Balkans.

As you’ll notice, the base of the fortress is surrounded by numerous old structures which were originally built as part of a military-residential complex. This Lower Fortress area was once home to prominent officers and nobility.

Walking up, you’ll pass by the Roman Catholic Church of St. George, built in the early 18th century. A tunnel will then take you to the Upper Fortress.

You’ll soon encounter the fortress’s most well-known landmark, its Clock Tower. Notice how the size of the hour and minute hands has been reversed so that fishermen could better see it from a distance.

In addition to some of the old barracks and gates, other structures around the top include the former bishop’s residence and a former convent. You’ll also find plenty of benches from which to take in the views of central Novi Sad below.

Nowadays, the fortress is perhaps best known for hosting the annual EXIT Festival each July. But if you’re visiting during quieter times, you can make a visit to the Novi Sad City Museum.

The City Museum

As the name suggests, the museum details the history of Novi Sad as well as Petrovaradin Fortress itself, which long predates the official founding of the city.

Frankly speaking, however, a visit might not be necessary for those who’ve already visited the Vojvodina Museum, as much of the information overlaps. The signage here, at least, is in English!

One of the most interesting items in the museum is a longboat made from a hollowed out tree. Discovered in the 20th century, it may have been used by the Sarmatian tribes who lived in the area during Roman times.

Also on display are various ancient archaeological findings from the Roman and Byzantine eras when a small fortress was located at this spot.

Before my visit, one of the activities in Novi Sad I was most looking forward to was exploring the fortress’s catacombs. 

Beneath its surface, the fortress is home to vast military galleries spread across four stories and that stretch out to 16 km in total. Supposedly, some of the walls have been inscribed with mysterious Masonic symbols.

But how does one go about exploring the catacombs? Visits are normally organized by the City Museum itself, though these are said to be relatively brief. Apparently, by hiring an official tour guide, visitors can go much further into the deeper levels.

Sadly, during my visit, the museum staff informed me that the catacombs had been closed for quite some time, and they wouldn’t be opening up again for the foreseeable future. I was, at least, able to view a very brief subterranean section that’s always open to museum visitors.

• 9:00 - 17:00

As mentioned above, Novi Sad is home to additional museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Foreign Art Collection. Another city attraction that’s commonly promoted is the Strand, a beach area along the Danube.

As I wasn’t staying too far away, I decided to go visit on foot one day. But it seems that I ended up in the wrong area, as I found everything to be overgrown and abandoned.

It would’ve been too cold to swim anyway, and if you’re traveling in summer, hopefully you’ll have better luck.

Additional Info

With its recent designation as a European Capital of Culture, Novi Sad has been receiving a lot of hype lately. And when looking at pictures of the historical center in the Novi Sad guide above, the city does indeed appear beautiful.

The reality is, however, that the charming historical section of Novi Sad only makes up roughly 20% of the entire city. A large majority is comprised of drab concrete buildings with absolutely no charm or atmosphere. The more you explore, the uglier the city becomes.

I’d even go as far as saying that Belgrade is the nicer looking city overall, as its traditional architecture is spread far and wide and not just limited to one or two districts.

While Novi Sad may not live up to the hype, it’s still worth a visit, especially since it serves as a great base for other, more charming towns in Vojvodina, such as Subotica, Sremski Karlovci and Sremska Mitrovica.

And for those with their own transport, Novi Sad can be used as a base from which to explore Fruska Gora National Park.

As Serbia’s second-largest city, you’ll find numerous bus routes linking Novi Sad with the rest of the country. Despite having a very different vibe from Belgrade, the two cities are only 90 minutes apart, with buses leaving very frequently.

Belgrade and Novi Sad are also linked by several trains which run throughout the day.

I managed to find a direct bus from as far away as Novi Pazar , while you can also find direct buses from cities like Kruševac and Niš .

Internationally, Novi Sad is connected with many major cities in the surrounding Balkan countries as well as nearby Hungary.

The bus and train stations are located right next to one another to the north of the city. If you don’t have a lot of luggage, you can easily find public city buses to the center or wherever it is you’re staying.

But if you opt to take a taxi from the station, beware.

A Warning About Taxis

Traveling with lots of luggage and staying at the other end of town, I decided to take a taxi from the bus station to get to my accommodation.

While I’ve traveled more than enough to know how shady taxi drivers at bus stations can be, the one I encountered told me he’d use the meter.

I’d heard from my host that a taxi from the station should only cost 400-500 RSD, but the meter ended up showing 1000!

I wasn’t quite prepared for that, as the last time I fell victim to a rigged meter was many years ago in India. Even worse, the guy even wanted to charge me 50 dinars for putting luggage in the trunk!

Standing in front of my rental apartment, I called the host before handing over any money. The driver was threatening to take me to the police station and kept trying to grab my suitcase. But as soon as a local appeared, he suddenly calmed down and said ‘Ok, Ok, 500.’

The ordeal wasn’t quite over yet, as after taking my money, he began insulting me in Serbian and English and things nearly escalated. Fortunately, though, he got back in his car in drove off before the situation got out of hand. Needless to say, this was a horrible first impression of Novi Sad.

Admittedly, my guard had been down after my very pleasant experience with a driver the previous day in Novi Pazar. But what is one arriving in Novi Sad supposed to do?

As ridesharing apps don’t exist in Serbia, be sure to look up a list of official Novi Sad taxi companies online and call them when you arrive at the station. They’ll send you a driver at a fair price.

By far, the best place to stay in Novi Sad is its historical center. Highly-rated options include Garni Citi Hotel Veliki , or for those on more of a budget, Guest House Villa Lord .

In my case, I intended to stay within walking distance of both the main bus station and the city center. Finding a nice-looking rental apartment on Booking at a good value, I checked its location on Google Maps and was relieved that it would indeed be walkable to both.

It wasn’t until closer to my stay that I checked more carefully, noticing that the addresses on Booking and Google were totally different! Despite the names being the same and the pictures being similar, I ended up on the western edge of town, far away from everything. Unfortunately, the booking was non-refundable.

Novi Sad has a decent public bus network so I was still able to get to wherever I needed. But traveling through the ugly modern parts of Novi Sad each day really diminished my impression of a city that’s most well-known for its beauty.

I imagine that most people who rave about Novi Sad are those who base themselves in the historical center and never leave. And if you can afford it, that would certainly be the best thing to do. Otherwise, basing yourself near the bus station would be convenient for day trips throughout Vojvodina.

If you have limited time in Serbia and are basing yourself in Belgrade, consider this top-rated day tour to Novi Sad, which also includes wine tasting in the scenic town of Sremski Karlovci.

Ultimate travel guide to novi sad, serbia.

The beautiful city of Novi Sad, situated in the north of Serbia, is probably most famous for the EXIT music festival that happens here every July.

Visit at any other time of the year however, and you’ll find a laidback, very local city that oozes friendly charm, unpretentious sophistication, culture, history and some gorgeous surrounds.

When I visited Novi Sad in Serbia as part of my summer eastern Europe adventure in 2018, there were very few other tourists around. But I have a feeling that may well have changed now given Novi Sad has been named the European City of Culture 2022!

Yes prepare for this place to become wildly popular… and for a good reason!

Because from an ancient fortress and quaint Old Town, to beautiful Danube views, a riverside beach, a lively café culture and even a national park on the doorstep, there’s no question Novi Sad is a delightful stop – one which can provide a welcome relief from treading the busy traveller route of Prague , Berlin and Budapest .

So, if you’re looking for somewhere a little different, yet still bubbling with a vibrancy and diverse range of things to do, look no further than Novi Sad.

Here’s my ultimate travel guide to visiting this great Serbian spot…

Why Visit Novi Sad?

Named the European Youth City in 2019, as well as the European Capital of Culture in 2022, Novi Sad is on the rise!

Long known within Serbia as a happening, student city, with a vibrant culture and tradition of activism, Novi Sad is becoming well known on a bigger scale as a place that makes the perfect addition to a Belgrade excursion…. or even an ideal city break in its own right.

If you’re visiting in July, EXIT festival held annually at this time, is the perfect excuse to go and party Serbian style (oh how the Serbs love to party!), but at other times of the year, Novi Sad is a wonderful addition to a longer eastern Europe excursion.

Allowing just a few extra days here on your way south from Budapest , west from Sarajevo , north from Belgrade or east from Romania or Bulgaria is a great idea and a superb chance to get away from simply visiting the capital cities and ticking those sightseeing boxes!

Oh and did I mention Novi Sad is also crazy cheap?!

Get here before the world catches on and the pries go up!

When to Visit Novi Sad?

Being a complete winter-phobe, there’s no question I’d suggest visiting Novi Sad in the summer, when film festivals, music festivals, street performance festivals, dance festivals and general merriment is in full swing.

That said, making this a winter break would bring a snowy splendour of a time – especially with the city’s picturesque setting on the banks of the Danube. just make sure you travel with a thick coat and some even thicker socks, gloves and boots if you’re planning on doing this.

How to Travel to Novi Sad?

Situated in the north of Serbia, about an hour from Belgrade, backpackers can make their way to Novi Sad from a variety of directions.

Here’s the most common…

#1 Belgrade to Novi Sad

The nearest airport to Novi Sad is Belgrade, find a cheap flight here using Skyscanner and then hop on a local bus straight from the airport to Novi Sad – it will take less than 1.5 hours.

If you’re arriving into the centre of Belgrade from another European city, then hopping on a bus is again your best bet.

Leaving from the Main Station in Belgrade every 20 minutes or so, the bus to Novi Sad costs around 10€ and takes 1.5 hours.

If you’re travelling from Bosnia, Croatia, Romania or Bulgaria, you’re likely to arrive via international bus into Belgrade, so stay at the station and head straight out to Novi Sad.

Essentially bus is the way to go here, so buy your tickets in advance (to save the queues) via Busbud .

#2 Budapest to Novi Sad

Top tip alert!

Bus and trains from Budapest travelling south generally stop in Novi Sad.

This makes it the perfect city to break up the journey as you travel from the Hungarian capital, south, to elsewhere in Europe.

How Long to Stay in Novi Sad?

Novi Sad is a small city, but it does offer a ton of stuff to do.

As such, I’d allow at least 2-3 nights for your trip here.

On day 1, I’d advise spending your time exploring the Fortress as well as the Old Town here, along with the modern centre of the city and its many shops, cafes, restaurants and churches.

Strolling along the Danube, checking out one of the many parks and hitting the Strand Beach are also must-dos.

With another day or 2 up your sleeve, there’s plenty of day trips you can make from Novi Sad, including to the surrounding national parks, vineyards and monasteries. Scroll to the bottom of this post to learn more…

Alternatively, if you are on a short timeframe and are only just squeezing Novi Sad in, then it pays to know you can also this city as part of a great day trip from Belgrade .

Which means there really is no excuse not to come here!

Top Things to Do in Novi Sad

Where to start when it comes to the best things to do in this city?

So the first thing to do in Novi Sad is a hike up to the Fortress – hello FREE activity! – and snap the amazing Danube and countryside views from the top.

Next stroll through the Old Town and across the bridge to the city centre.

Here you can wander the shops, cafes, churches, parks and squares to your heart’s content.

You should also return in the evening when all the streets here come to life with alfresco diners and drinkers bringing a great atmosphere to this pedestrianised area.

Zmaj Jovina is the main eatery / bar strip in the city centre, so head here and the surrounding streets if you’re after a good time.

For something more relaxing, walking along the Danube to the Strand – Novi Sad’s answer to a beach, which is loads of fun and costs just 75 Dinar entrance – about $1 USD!

With grass and sand to lie on, take a towel, a good book and enjoy catching some rays here on a summer’s day – it’s Novi Sad perfection!

Best Day Trips from Novi Sad

As talked about earlier on this in this article, I said we’d discuss the best day trips from Novi Sad, after all, I definitely recommend enjoying at least 1 or 2 of them if you can.

Here’s my pick of the bunch…

#1 Sremski Karlovci

If you’re staying at Varad Inn, this is a super easy day trip because all you need do is take the #61 or #62 bus from basically outside the hostel door!

In 15 minutes you’ll be in the quiet town of Sremski Karlovci .

Situated on the banks of the Danube, this place is famous as a local wine-growing region, so cellars and wine shops abound with plenty of tastings on offer.

Get stuck in with this great guided day trip there!

The panoramic view across the city and Royal Gardens also deserve a special mention.

#2 Iriški Venac

Situated in the heart of Fruška Gora National Park, this is a great day trip if you want to take in the beauty of this landscape here without having to plan a multi-day hike or hire a guide.

Enjoy the views as you feast over a delicious Serbian lunch and then head out by local bus to explore the ancient monasteries, such as the Novo Hopovo Monastery, that dot the scenery here.

How to Get Around Novi Sad?

Both bus and trains to Novi Sad arrive into stations that are located next to each other, just north of the city centre.

Hop on bus #61, #62, #64 from these stations to get to the city centre or simply walk across the bridge to the Fortress and Old Town.

Once in the downtown area, it’s then safe and easy to walk everywhere in Novi Sad.

Strolling along the promenade, adjacent to the Danube, is particularly pleasant, with cyclists, runners and rollerbladers all making use of this car-free track.

Taxis are extremely reasonable in Novi Sad too and, quite amazingly in my experience, never rip you off.

Short trips around the city won’t cost you more than a dollar or 2 in a taxi, but do make sure the meter is in use!

Alternatively, Car:Go is a great rideshare app to use across Serbia, that works like Uber.

Top Spots for Eating & Drinking

No trip to Novi Sad would be complete with getting stuck into some Serbian beer, wine and rakija (local lethal spirit made from fruits like plum, apple and quince!)

Local foods worth trying include Burek and Kajmak.

Here’s my following recommendation for eating and drinking in Novi Sad:

Breakfast: Kombinat

Coffee: Pogon

Craft Beer: Mazut

Lunch: Protein

Live Music: Corto

Dinner: Toster Bar

Best Place to Stay in Novi Sad?

As far as I’m concerned there’s only place you should stay in Novi Sad if you’re a budget traveller and that’s the fabulous Varad Inn Hostel .

Recommended by Lonely Planet’s Eastern Europe guidebook , as well as me!, this family-run guesthouse, set in a heritage building, is perfectly located below Novi Sad’s Fortress in the gorgeous Old Town.

With dorms, privates, ensuites, a small guest kitchen and cute courtyard, this is a wonderfully chilled spot, with some of the friendliest staff ever!

Staying 3 nights, I had a hard job to pull myself away from the lightning wifi speed, relaxed feel and the new Serbian friends I made here!

Altnertiavely, if you want something with a  little more space and comfort, then check out Crystal Apartments in the centre of Novi Sad, which came with brilliant ratings and reviews.

4 Key Packing Items for Novi Sad

#1 Good Camera – You will be snapping aplenty during your time in this city and will need a good camera to do this unique place justice. I highly recommend the Sony A6000 , which I use for all my travels and love, not least because it’s light, compact and robust!

#2 Good Walking Shoes – There will be a lot of walking in Novi Sad, so make sure your feet are comfortable therefore with a pair of New Balance Trainers . I love mine.

#3 Good Water Bottle – All that Serbian sightseeing is thirsty work, so make sure you have a metal water bottle that you can refill as you go, because tap water in Novi Sad is drinkable… and free!

#4 Good Backpack – And to carry your water bottle, camera and guidebook, you’re going to need a decent backpack that will help you balance the weight as you walk. In my opinion, you can’t go past the Bobby Anti Theft Backpack , which is also perfect for helping you avoid pickpockets too.

Thanks for the helpful description. I will visit Novi Sad in November for work. Can you tell me whether private apartments are as correct as they give on the site (accommodation yard in the center of Novi Sad for example – “prenoćište dvorište apartmani”) or are hotels a safer option? Thanks in advance.

Hi Anet, great to hear you are heading to Novi Sad, I’m sure you will enjoy working there. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Serbian so can’t help with translation, but I imagine that both private apartments and hotels would be safe options here. As always when it comes to security, just ensure you read reviews carefully and employ your common sense. Best of luck, Steph 🙂

Many people who are visiting Serbia set their sites solely on lively and edgy Belgrade and fail to notice humble Novi Sad when in their trip planning. And this is a real shame. While we are always advocates in spending time in cities outside of the capital, there are many things to do in Novi Sad that really make a case for it. Where Belgrade is gritty and raw, Novi Sad is colourful and charming.

As the capital of the Vojvodina region of northern Serbia, Novi Sad makes for a logical stop if you’re coming from Hungary, on a longer trip in the Balkans , or even as a day trip from the capital. Its compact nature means that visitors can experience the highlights of this city in just one day, however, there is enough to do that you can stay occupied for two or even three days.

After spending several weeks in this beautiful city, we got to know it at an intimate level and can assist you in figuring out the best things to do in Serbia’s second-largest city!

Table of Contents

Getting To and Around Novi Sad

As the second-largest city in Serbia, Novi Sad is actually quite well connected in the region and is fairly easy to reach depending on where you are coming from.

If you want to visit Novi Sad from Belgrade, whether as a day trip or for a longer stay, you have a couple of options available. If you’re coming from the city centre, countless buses leave from the central bus station each day, roughly every half hour. The journey is affordable and it takes about 1.5 hours to get to Novi Sad. You can book and see schedules here.

As of the time of writing this article, there is no train running between the two cities.

While there is no international airport in Airport in Novi Sad, you can easily reach the city with a transfer from Belgrade airport. You can either grab a taxi or bus to Belgrade’s central bus station and hop on a coach from there or you can book a private transfer from the airport.

Travellers can also reach Novi Sad if coming from Hungary and it makes for a logical stop between Budapest and Belgrade. Though the train service is disrupted as of right now, there are buses available between the two cities (mostly en route to Belgrade).

If you’re visiting Novi Sad as a day trip from Belgrade and aren’t keen to try and go independently, there are also countless guided tours available.

Most tours from Belgrade like this full-day tour or this full-day tour include both a guided visit to Novi Sad itself along with wine tasting in the nearby town of Sremski Karlovci.

Once in Novi Sad, its compact nature means that it is actually quite easy to get around on food and all of the stops and things to do on this itinerary are intended to be carried out entirely on foot. There is a robust bus network if needed, though it’s not necessary.

What to do in Novi Sad in One Day

The first day of this Novi Sad itinerary will see you exploring the city centre and its highlights. If you’re only planning on visiting Novi Sad as a day trip or for only one full day, then follow the first day of this itinerary.

Petrovaradin Fortress

Begin your one day in Novi Sad at arguably its most famous landmark, the Petrovaradin Fortress. Located on the south side of the Danube across the river from the city centre, this is the site of the world-famous EXIT Festival — a music festival that is held each July. Musical acts aside, however, the Petrovaradin Fortress is a great place to visit any time of year.

Originally constructed in the 17th Century, the Petrovaradin Fortress is home to a number of points of interest for visitors. You may be interested in visiting the Museum of Novi Sad, for instance, which makes its home in the grounds of the fortress. For something a bit more creepy, consider visiting the Petrovaradin Catacombs.

Because you are likely going to be visiting this spot in the morning, it can also be a great idea to grab a coffee at one of the many cafes up at the fortress. You can take the time to enjoy the views of the city and river below while getting excited about your day of exploration to come.

Monument to the Victims of the Raid

Crossing the bridge to the north side of the Danube, take the time to walk along the river before heading into the city centre. Not only will you be greeted with fantastic views of the imposing fortress but you also get the chance to visit a truly moving sculpture: the Monument to the Victims of the Raid.

This sculpture of a family along the banks of the Danube is there to remember the murdered victims of the “January Raid” carried out between the 21st and 23rd of January in 1942. This was when the occupying Hungarian Fascist regime brutally executed over 1,000 Jews, Serbs and Roma people.

There are plaques in both Serbian and Hebrew describing the horrific events in detail.

Dunavski Park

Now it’s time to walk along the river bank and start turning into the city centre – but not before making a stop in the lovely, leafy Dunavski (Danube) Park! This lush green space offers a great respite from a warm day and is always lively and bustling no matter what time of day it is.

There is ample grassy space, plenty of shady benches, and a lovely pond where you can even spot bullfrogs and turtles if you’re lucky.

Museum of Vojvodina

Located adjacent to the park lies the Museum of Vojvodina, the northern region in which Novi Sad resides. This can be an interesting stop as this region has a bit of a different history than the rest of Serbia, seeing as it avoided Ottoman rule completely and was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918 when it finally joined Yugoslavia.

If you’re interested in learning more about this fascinating region and putting some context into the place that you’re visiting, then make sure to include the Museum of Vojvodina on your Novi Sad itinerary.

Nearby, the Museum of Vojvodina is the Museum of Contemporary is a great option for art lovers if you’d like to visit another Novi Sad museum.

Riblja Pijaca

Just a bit behind the Museum of Vojvodina lies a place that I consider one of the best things to see in Novi Sad, though there are people who may not agree with me — that is the Riblja Pijaca. It’s simply just an open-air marketplace but I always find there is no better place to understand a culture of a city or country than seeing what people eat and how they shop.

Unlike many open-air markets located close to the city centre, this one is geared toward local shoppers and you won’t find many kitschy stalls hawking cheap goods. Instead, you’re mostly going to find local sellers with stalls upon stalls of beautiful fruits, vegetables and other produce.

This is a great place, for instance, to pick up a souvenir of something like local honey or a small bottle of homemade rakija (the local liquor). There are also a few stalls selling baked goods like burek, butcher shops and fishmongers and even a couple of cafes where you can stop for a refreshment should you choose.

Break for Lunch

After a morning of sightseeing, you’re likely going to need to refuel with some lunch before taking in any more of these great things to do in Novi Sad. Luckily for you, there are a lot of great places to eat in the city so you are absolutely not going to go hungry!

Our top recommendation would be to head to the wonderful Fish & Zeleniš , a restaurant serving (quite obviously) seafood sourced from the Adriatic. The fish is fresh and delicious and it is absolutely worth taking the time to have a meal here.

If you’re not a seafood fan, then consider heading to Toster Bar for a great burger, fries and even a local craft brew!

Bishop’s Palace & Serbian Orthodox Church of St George

Now that you’ve eaten and have regained your energy for exploration, it’s time to finally properly explore the beautiful city centre and the top Novi Sad attractions. And there is no better place to begin this than at the Bishop’s Palace and Serbian Orthodox Cathedral.

Located at one end of the pedestrianised Zmaj Jovina Street, this beautiful peach building was first constructed in 1901. Around the corner from the Bishop’s Palace lies the Serbian Orthodox Church of St George. Though often referred to as a cathedral (it isn’t), this church does act as the main Orthodox church in the city.

Built originally in the 18th century and restored several times since then — the latest was in the early 20th century — this is an absolutely beautiful building that is indicative of the Art Nouveau style that is found throughout the city.

Wander Down Zmaj Jovina

After taking in the Bishop’s Palace and the Orthodox Church, take the time to stroll down Novi Sad’s main pedestrian street, Zmaj Jovina. Though a good portion of Novi Sad’s city centre is pedestrianised, this is the largest and most bustling street and it lends for excellent people-watching no matter the time of day.

Lined with countless streetside cafes, shops and eateries, there are lots of things to see and experience here and this is where the true heart and energy in Novi Sad.

Take your time strolling down this lovely lane and let yourself really absorb the lively energy. There are also a few side streets that can be worth veering off at if you’re interested in seeing a quieter side of the city’s pedestrian streets.

Ice Cream at Crna Ovca

At the end of Zmaj Jovina in the square behind the Name of Mary Church (see the next stop for that!) lies the Novi Sad branch of an excellent ice cream shop – Crna Ovca .

Translating to “black sheep” in Serbian, this ice cream shop has its flagship store in Belgrade (where I recommend visiting, as well!) but has a smaller outpost right here in Novi Sad.

They make wonderful, fresh ice creams with inventive flavours that change on the regular. And while there are no shortage of ice cream shops in Novi Sad, this one really does stand out with its high-quality product and unique flavours. If you get a chance, make sure to check out their bigger Belgrade shop as well.

Name of Mary Church & Trg Slobode

Now that you’ve cooled down with a scoop or two of ice cream, now it’s time to take in the tallest and arguably most iconic church in Novi Sad and its main square.

The Name of Mary Church is a Catholic church that has a beautiful architectural style, a gorgeous tile roof and an imposing spire and clock tower that defines the skyline of Novi Sad.

Presiding over Trg Slobode (translating to Freedom or Liberty Square), Novi Sad’s main square, you can take in its beauty from one of the many benches lining the square. Occasionally, there will be buskers performing and it is a wonderful meeting point in Novi Sad.

If you look around, you will see countless beautiful examples of the city’s iconic Art Nouveau architecture and you will understand why Novi Sad is definitely an underrated gem in Serbia.

Novi Sad Synagogue

After taking a coffee break, it’s time to head a bit further away from the Old Town until you reach the beautiful Novi Sad Synagogue.

Though this beautiful house of worship is not still in use today (the only active synagogue in Serbia is in Belgrade), it is a testament to the Jewish community that consisted of more than 4,000 people prior to the Second World War. There are currently only about 400 Jews living in Novi Sad today.

The synagogue was originally built at the turn of the 20th Century by Hungarian architect by Lipót Baumhorn in the Hungarian Secession/Art Nouveau style. The building itself is imposing and quite beautiful and its dome can be seen as a major part of Novi Sad’s skyline.

Dinner at Project 72

After seeing all of these amazing sites in Novi Sad, you’ve likely worked up quite the appetite. Luckily this city has no shortage of fantastic eateries, however, if you want some local, unique and inventive, make sure not to miss a meal at Project 72.

This restaurant located on a quite street on the edge of the Old Town, they churn out beautiful, locally sourced dishes. The food can be classified as “modern Serbian cuisine” and Project 72 indeed has some unique takes on classic Serbian dishes — including things like ajvar ice cream.

You can either share some small dishes tapas-style or opt to get your own main dish instead. They also have a large wine list including both Serbian and foreign wines.

If the food here is a bit too adventurous for you, however, there are countless other options available. Pizzeria Savoca , for instance, is located an easy 10-minute walk from the synagogue and they serve great pizzas and other Italian dishes.

Or if you didn’t make it here for lunch, Fish & Zeleniš is also a fantastic dinner option! Alternatively, if you’re looking for something classic and a bit more casual, then head to Sarajevski Ćevap for some traditional Balkan barbecue.

Have 2 or 3 Days in Novi Sad?

If you have a bit more time in the city and you’re wondering what to do for a couple of more days, these are all great suggestions:

Head to Štrand

If you’re visiting in the summertime, then no visit to Novi Sad is complete without heading to the beach. Though Serbia is a landlocked country, Štrand is a wonderful stretch of sand along the banks of the Danube that gets absolutely bustling as soon as the temperatures begin to soar in this Serbian city. In fact, in the summer, it is estimated that up to 20,000 people per day visit this city beach.

You do have to pay a fee to enter the beach area, but there are beach bars and cafes and even several sunbeds available for hire.

You can either opt to come here to party the night away or, if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet, head here in the morning to experience this popular spot all to yourself.

Visit Sremski Karlovci

If you’re looking for a great day trip, then visiting the nearby town of Sremski Karlovci is an excellent option for those wondering what to do in Novi Sad.

This small town is located only about 8 kilometres from Novi Sad and is frequently included on day tours to the city. It is known for its charming buildings and atmosphere and also for its wine production!

So if you’re interested in sampling any wine from the region, specifically the regional speciality – Bermet.

This is a sweet, fortified wine with an average ABV of about 16-18%. It is unique because the wine is also macerated with over 20 herbs and spices. Bermet is only produced in Sremski Karlovci by a handful of families in the town and the actual recipe is very carefully safeguarded.

Hike in Fruška Gora National Park

If you would rather get out into nature than sample secretive fortified wines, then make sure to head out to Fruška Gora National Park. This beautiful natural area is located within spitting distance of the city centre and is an excellent choice for active people.

Fruška Gora is actually the name of the mountain within the park, which stands at about 540 metres (1,772 feet) tall. This is Serbia’s oldest national park and it is an absolutely beautiful green area to explore, especially if you’re interested in getting out of the city for a bit.

Where to Stay in Novi Sad

Hotel Fontana — If you’re after something a bit more upmarket during your stay in Novi Sad, then look no further than this boutique hotel. Located in the city centre, it is within easy walking distance of all of the city’s top attractions. They are a range of comfortable and clean rooms available and even include breakfast in the nightly rate.

Agape Villa Apartments — If you’re keen to live like a local in Novi Sad, or perhaps cook your own meals then consider staying in these apartments. Located a short walk from the city centre, there are a few flats to choose from with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

This was such a helpful itinerary for a one-day trip (it was honestly more helpful and informative than the Lonely Planet guide I had with me). Thank you!!

Thanks for your kind words, Carlos! I’m so happy this was helpful and hope you enjoyed your time in Novi Sad 🙂

A great article, but one day is not enough to see everything worth seeing. It’s a beautiful city that has so much to offer. I went there this summer for the Exit festival. Stayed there for one week, took an apartment in prenociste Dvoriste, and saw all that places you’ve mentioned. It was great and I decided to go there again next year. I want to go to Fruska Gora, to see the lake Ledinci, and a few monasteries. This country is incredible.

Thanks for your comment, Carlos. I agree that it’s worth spending more time in Novi Sad if you have it – we spent 2 weeks in the city this past summer and really were glad we did 🙂

NOVI SAD TRAVEL GUIDE: How to Visit this Capital of Culture city in 2022!

Thanks to the rising popularity of the Balkans, more people are traveling to Serbia and experiencing the county’s unique culture and attractions. 

Although most travelers typically stick to Belgrade on their first trip to Serbia, there’s another city that definitely deserves your attention : Novi Sad!

This historical yet lively city is the ultimate blend of culture and cool . Thanks to its status as a university town, Novi Sad is one of those laid back towns where you just want to stroll around or sit and people watch in a cafe. 

With so many amazing things to do in Novi Sad , it’s the perfect choice if you want to escape the busy crowds of Belgrade to chill and recharge your batteries. 

In fact, it’s no wonder why the city earned the nickname ‘the Serbian Athens.’ Despite being the second-largest city in Serbia, Novi Sad was known the capital of culture in the 19th century among locals, which is a title that i    t still boasts to this day… 

…Because Novi Sad was chosen to be the European Capital of Culture in 2022! No doubt, being the host of such an important title is sure to skyrocket Novi Sad’s popularity and show the world how fantastic it really is. 

If you’re planning to travel to Novi Sad soon, be sure to bookmark this Novi Sad travel guide. It’ll help you with logistics, how to get there, as well as what to do, where to stay in Novi Sad, where to eat, and so much more! 

HOW TO GET TO NOVI SAD

The easiest way to get to Novi Sad is by bus, train, or car. 

Although the city doesn’t have an airport yet (it’s in the works!), there are plenty of connections to major international cities as well as other Serbian destinations. 

FROM SUBOTICA: If you started your trip to Serbia from the north (i.e. entering from Hungary), you can easily make your way from Subotica to Novi Sad. There are plenty of daily departures for both buses (about 2 hrs) and trains (about 2.5 hrs). 

FROM BELGRADE: Getting from the capital to Serbia’s second-biggest city is a breeze: there are hourly departures for buses and trains, with tickets costing around $3 to $5 USD. There are 3 ‘express’ trains and 3 regular trains that travel between the two cities every day. 

Likewise, you might also consider taking a day trip tour, especially if you only have one day or prefer to have someone else handle the logistics. The most popular is this Novi Sad & Sremski Karlovci Full-Day Tour .

INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS: 

FROM SARAJEVO (BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA) : If you’re traveling from Serbia’s western neighbor, you can expect to spend around $25 USD and about 9 hours on a bus from Sarajevo to Novi Sad.

FROM BUDAPEST (HUNGARY): Planning a trip from Hungary to Serbia? One of the best ways is to travel via train from Budapest to Subotica (one of the most charming towns in Serbia!) then make your way down to Novi Sad. Otherwise, it’s a 3 hour drive via car or a 5 hour bus ride.  

Other popular bus connections to Novi Sad include Sofia (Bulgaria), Zagreb (Croatia), Budva and Herceg Novi (Montenegro). 

HOW TO GET AROUND NOVI SAD

Although Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia, it’s surprisingly compact and walkable! 

The majority of tourist attractions are scattered around the center, which means you can easily walk from point A to point B. 

Looking to get around quickly? Novi Sad is known as the bicycle capital of Serbia, and for around $1.50 USD, you can rent a bike for the entire day! Check out NS BIKE, which has more than 15 stations around the city. 

For places that are a little further, the city has an excellent bus and taxi system as well. 

WHAT TO DO IN NOVI SAD

Soak in the atmosphere along kralja aleksandra street.

Once known as Main Street, Kralja Aleksandra Street is the central-most part of the city and is filled with beautiful Art Nouveau architecture and granoise buildings like the Roman Catholic Church, Menrat’s Palace, and the City Hall. 

After passing Trg Slobode (Freedom Square), the street turns into Zmaj Jovina, where you can find dozens of cafes, restaurants, and local boutique stores. 

If one of the houses catches your attention, you can check out Novi Sad’s official website — they have some interesting background information on almost every building, including who lived there, when it was made, and other historical details. For example, here are the houses on Zmaj Jovina street . :) 

Learn More About the City at a Local Museum

One of my favorite ways to get to know a city better is to check out the museums, and thankfully Novi Sad has a lot to offer. 

Start off with the Muzej Vojvodine, which offers an incredible look at the region throughout the years. I was surprised at how interesting the Vojvodina province is, especially their traditional costumes (the exhibit is worth the ticket price alone!). 

For something a little more local, the City Museum has a great overview of Novi Sad and is a nice stop while at Petrovaradin Fortress.

Finally, since most people associate Novi Sad with art and culture, you can’t go wrong with the exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Go Hunting For Murals & Street Art

Although it feels like Serbia loves its murals and street art, Novi Sad has a special honor: it has the largest mural in the country!

On the corner of Gagarin street and Petra I Boulevard is a huge mural that pays homage to Petar I Кarađorđević, who was the last king of Serbia.

However, that’s not the end of it: all across the city you can find colorful murals and street art — just be sure to keep an eye out! My personal favorite are Aleksandar Buncic’s murals because they have a special meaning. Every year for his daughter’s birthday gift, Aleks creates a new mural that includes her name (Sonja) and cute characters. :)

To help you out, there’s even an Instagram account that has a collection of local street art, including the location where to find it.

Chill Out at Štrand

Where do locals like to go during summer? To Štrand, of course!

This 1 kilometer stretch of sandy beach is found in the southeast part of Novi Sad and features  everything you need for a day under the sun, including cafes and restaurants, a beach volleyball court, kid’s playground, and outdoor showers. 

If you want to relax and recharge, take the day off and chill at Štrand, which also offers a lovely view of the Liberty Bridge. 

Stroll Along Kamenički Park

 If you prefer something in nature, then Kamenički Park is calling your name. 

Located just across the Štrand on the other side of the Danube, Kamenički Park is the largest park in Novi Sad. 

Kamenički was originally built as a gift by Count Guido Karaconji for his wife, Countess Mary Marcibanji, for her to enjoy while relaxing at their castle (check out the Dvorac Marcibanji-Karačonji, which is right next to the par, if you have some free time). 

However, the most interesting attraction are the “Five Heads,” which are five tall columns with busts of Roman soldiers at the top — although many think that they’re actually members of the Karačonji family! The pillars have been painted over with colorful designs and make for a great spot to take a photo. :) 

Explore the Tunnels at Petrovaradin Fortress

The Danube River splits Petrovaradin Fortress from the city center, although you can easily reach the other side by taking a short stroll on the Varadin Bridge. 

While there was always some type of fortress found in this area, the Petrovaradin Fortress that’s seen today was built around the 18th century as a type of fortification.

Although you can explore the ground of the fortress with ease, the actual fun happens below: the Petrovaradin Fortress is built atop of 16 kilometers (10 mi) of tunnels that were used to host additional army personnel, as well as for strategic and defensive purposes. 

Although only one or two kilometers are open to the public at the moment, it makes for a fun and informative tour of Novi Sad’s past. To sign up for a guided tour, check out the ticket booth for more details. 

If you’re visiting during the summer, don’t miss the EXIT festival that takes place at the fortress!

Party All Night at the EXIT Festival 

Of course, I can’t finish this section without talking about the Exit festival, which is one of the things that made Novi Sad popular!

As mentioned above, the festival takes place on the second Thursday of July at Petrovaradin Fortress and runs for 4 days. EXIT started as a small event in 2000, but over the years it has grown to be one of the most popular music festivals in Europe! 

The festival is an eclectic mix of techno, rock, dance, hip hop, and other genres. As EXIT grew, so did its headliners — in fact, popular artists like David Guetta, DJ Snake, Tyga, The Cure, Grace Jones, and Martin Garrix were recent guests at the festival.

WHERE TO EAT IN NOVI SAD

⭐️ Tri Petice — If you could only go to one restaurant in Novi Sad, let it be this one! Tri Petice is a mix of fusion food and haute kitchen but without the $$$ price tag. 

The restaurant says it best: “We serve flavors that carry the charm of France, the exoticism of Asia, the audacity of Serbia… and that is not the end of our gastronomic journey!” 

When I went there, I tried some of the best ramen in my life (and that’s saying something, since I’ve been to Japan! ), some divine chicken nuggets, and a Serbian dessert to top it all off. Best of all, the menu changes constantly, so you can come here time after time and try something new. 

One last note: the interior decor is gorgeous and really adds to the atmosphere! 

🍽 Kombinat  — If you have no idea what you want to eat, Kombinat will be happy to jog your taste buds. ;)

Tucked off to the side of Freedom Square is this lively restaurant, which features a mix of Mexican, Serbian, and European dishes that will feed you from breakfast to dinner.

Don’t miss the black latte, which is exactly what it sounds like: a carbon-colored cup of coffee! 

🍽 Restaurant Sokace — For something a little more Serbian, Sokace has you covered. This restaurant is always packed with locals, especially during the evening when the live band starts to play. 

🍽 Project 72 Creative Local Cuisine — If you’re bored with regular food, why not kick it up a notch with this fine dining spot? 

If Project 72 had to be described in 3 words, it would be modern Serbian food. The restaurant takes traditional local dishes and reimagines them in a completely new light. Best of all, Project 72 partners with local farmers and co-ops, so the ingredients are always fresh and from the region. :) 

🍽 Lazin Salaš — Situated on a quiet side street but just a few steps from the central square is this cute traditional restaurant. When you walk in, it feels as if you’re visiting your colorful Serbian grandma in the countryside — the decor is so sweet and kitsch! 

Best of all, the menu is huge and you’ll definitely find something that you’ll like.  

🍽 Kalem — What happens when you mix a gorgeous interior design with delicious dishes? Kalem!

This restaurant and bar ticks off all the boxes, from the fantastic view of historic buildings to what’s available (breakfast, lunch, and dinner!), and even the extensive list of fun and innovative drinks. If you want to impress your friends (or yourself), this is definitely the place to go.

The Top Things To See and Do in Novi Sad, Serbia

Novi Sad may be the second largest city in Serbia, but those expecting the same experience as the chaotic capital are going to be in for an entirely different kind of shock. The Vojvodinian capital is a very different city compared to Belgrade , one with a different history and a different architecture to boot. Sat in the centre of one of Serbia’s prettiest regions with some of its most gorgeous villages, Novi Sad is worth a visit all on its own – and here is why.

Storm petrovaradin’s fortress.

Ironically, the most visited tourist attraction in Novi Sad isn’t exactly in the city proper. Petrovaradin Fortress is on the other side of the river in the municipality of the same name, although it is inherently linked to the big city across the Danube. Work on the fortress began in 1682 and ended nearly a century later in 1780, with that whole ‘war’ thing causing most of the disruptions. The fortress is known more for festivals than fighting in the modern age, however, and it is here that EXIT Festival takes place every summer. The fortress is party to some of the best views in the area, and it is also home to the famous ‘drunk clock’, where the big hand tells the hours and the little the minutes.

360 degrees of sights on Freedom Square

Laze at Novi Sad’s Štrand

While we wouldn’t recommend visiting in winter, Novi Sad’s Štrand is a must in the hotter months. A sandy beach along the Danube , it becomes a hive of activity during summer as the masses descend upon it for drinks, frolics, food, or all of the above. Those looking for somewhere to swim are advised to head here, although be careful not to get swept away by the strong currents of Europe’s second biggest river.

Take in the Bishop’s Palace

A short walk from Freedom Square lies the Bishop’s Palace, sitting snugly at the end of the fabulously named street Zmaj Jovina. The palace is the work of Vladimir Nikolić, although Nikolić’s worries about public perception meant the project was attributed to Hungarian architect Ferenc Raichle. The palace is also fronted by a statue of another Novi Sad great, poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, and yes the street is named after him.

History and culture at the Novi Sad Synagogue

A majestic art nouveau building a short walk from Freedom Square, Novi Sad’s Synagogue seemingly comes out of nowhere but is one of the city’s most impressive buildings. The synagogue saw its fair share of tragedy in the 20th century, and Novi Sad’s Jewish community was depressingly decimated during World War II. This isn’t forgotten in Novi Sad today, and the synagogue stands as a symbol of pride and defiance.

Visit a museum or three

As one can expect from a city known as the Serbian Athens, there is no shortage of museums waiting to be explored in Novi Sad. The City Museum and Museum of Vojvodina are undoubtedly the jewels in this particular crown, and the latter is one of the oldest museum complexes in all of Serbia. The city also has a number of excellent galleries, including the Matica Srpska gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina.

Explore Fruška Gora

Vojvodina is home to Fruška Gora, the northern province’s lone mountainous region and a veritable feast for nature lovers worldwide. The lush greenery of the national park is frequently interrupted by the tranquility of a host of monasteries, showcasing some of the best religious art in the entire nation. Krušedol and Grgeteg deserve to be mentioned in particular, but you can’t really go wrong with any of the monasteries . Fruška Gora gets that elusive blend of nature and construction just right.

Visit Serbia’s prettiest town

Many towns and villages can make a convincing argument for that title, but for our money Sremski Karlovci pips them all. A short drive from Novi Sad , the town was the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church within the Habsburg Empire, and as such it is as grand and elegant as any town of 9,000 can be. The town is full of churches and other impressive buildings, not to mention delightful fountains. The hills that surround it are beautiful, too.

Indulge at a Salaš

Novi Sad is surrounded by lush farmland and it is no surprise that many of the farms have opened up their doors to visitors. Salaš is another word for farm, and those lucky enough to visit one will be treated to some of the finest food and drink in the entire region. Portion size is almost certainly going to be on the side of the gluttonous, and those in a rush certainly need not apply. If you’ve got the time, head to a Salaš and be ready to loosen that belt a notch or two.

Petrovaradin Fortress You can book a tour of the tunnels or content yourself with exploring the citadel, which houses a history museum and restaurants with breathtaking views of the Danube.

Petrovaradin Clock Tower You might notice something unusual about the clock face: the large hand has been replaced with a small one. This modification was made to enable fishermen on the Danube below to read the time from a greater distance. There are benches and terraces all around the place, allowing everyone to leisurely sit and enjoy the magnificent view.

Dunavska Street Dunavska (Danube) Street is an east-to-west thoroughfare, partially pedestrianized, and adorned with elegant mansions and townhouses. Novi Sad's residents have been strolling here and meeting friends for as long as the city has existed. Most of the buildings you see date back to the mid-19th century, constructed after Novi Sad suffered damage during the 1848 Revolution against the Austrian Empire.

Danube Park In spring and summer, it's a serene green space for a few moments of tranquillity, featuring a pond and a variety of tree species, including birches, hazelnuts, willows, and an ancient English oak that's been listed. During winter, you can come for some fun on the park's ice rink. Clues to Novi Sad's cultural richness in this period can also be found here, in the nymph sculpture by Đorđe Jovanović and the statue of the 19th-century poet Đura Jakšić.

Novi Sad Synagogue The current structure is the fifth version of the building, dating back to the early 1900s, with the first one originating in the 17th century. Before the Second World War, Novi Sad had over 4,000 Jewish inhabitants, a number now reduced to 400. While the synagogue is an impressive monument to behold from the street, you'll need to make advance arrangements if you wish to see its interior.

Such a nice story

Novi Sad looks so much European than Belgrade. Definitely worth of sightseeing.

The fortress is so awesome!! My dad grew up there and it was cool to see the city and all the history surrounded by it.

Thanks for the helpful description. I will visit Novi Sad in November for work. Can you tell me whether private apartments are as correct as they give on the site (accommodation yard in the center of Novi Sad for example – “prenoćište dvorište apartmani”) or are hotels a safer option? Thanks in advance.

19 Exciting Things to Do in Novi Sad, Serbia

From the incredible food and famed nightlife to the abundance of culture, amazing architecture, and amazing hospitality, it’s no wonder Novi Sad is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Serbia.

In fact, many Serbian natives (especially those who live in Belgrade) flock to Novi Sad when they find themselves in need of a quick getaway. In this article, I have compiled a list of places to visit and things to do in Novi Sad for the most authentic experience, all with glowing recommendations from locals.

A couple of notes on Novi Sad’s history and its culture: Novi Sad was founded in 1694 by Serbs, and although an integral part of Serbian culture and history, it only became a part of Yugoslavia in 1918.

During its existence, it never belonged to the Ottoman Empire, unlike most of Serbia, so the Ottoman influence was quite minimal. The Uprising during the Spring of Nations in 1849 was cause for the bombing of Petrovaradin, which caused a lot of damage to the buildings in Novi Sad.

Additionally, as you can see from the three different religious buildings I’ve listed below, Novi Sad is a place where multiple cultures meet and mingle, making it truly unique.

What to See in Novi Sad

Novi Sad has always served as a cultural beacon for all of Serbia, thanks in part to its close connection to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Many Serbian artists, authors and scientists come from this wonderful city.

Many of the buildings built in the classical Austrian style of the eighteenth and nineteenth century remain to this day, although some were destroyed in the bombing of 1849.

Just a walk through the old city center is an experience in itself, but I have compiled a list of interesting places to visit in Novi Sad when you’re here next.

Visit the Gallery of Matica Srpska

Founded in 1847, this museum holds the biggest collection of Serbian and other art from the region. These pieces were carefully collected over the years, many of them gifted to the Gallery by passionate art lovers and patriots.

Originally established in Pest (now a part of Budapest), it was moved to Novi Sad in 1864.

The significance of the Gallery lies in the fact that it collected art of the Serbian people, spread across the region, in one place – perhaps a close second to the ultimate goal of Serbian and Yugoslavian monarchs who attempted to collect all of the Serbian people in one country.

The Gallery is under the wing of Matica Srpska, without a doubt the most influential cultural establishment in Serbia.

The Gallery continuously has special themed exhibitions, so you might find something of particular interest to you during your stay. The permanent exhibition, however, is truly spectacular. The collections are chronologically organized by art movements, and I highly suggest checking out the Baroque, Biedermeier, and Religious Art collections.

Tickets are 100 dinars (less than one euro), and the Gallery also offers guided tours in English.

Explore the Museum of Contemporary Art

If you’re more of a contemporary art fiend, this is the perfect spot for you.

The Museum’s collection focuses mainly on contemporary art from the region – namely Vojvodina, but also the rest of Serbia and former Yugoslavian countries as well as Central Europe – but there is also a foreign art collection.

Snap photos at the pretty pink Bishop’s Palace

The original Bishop’s Palace was built in 1741, but it was destroyed in a bombing in 1849.

An interesting detail is that many of the Palace’s patrons complained about a pond nearby which, aside from emitting a quite unpleasant scent, also housed quite a few frogs that were often very noisy. In response to this, the new building, finished in 1901, was rotated so that the new entrance was facing away from the troublesome frogs!

In regards to the building itself, it’s an incredible mixture of Byzantine church and Serbian monastery architecture. You cannot enter the building, but the exterior is definitely a sight to see.

In front of the building, in the place where a large cross once stood, there is now a sculpture of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, one of the most important poets in Serbian history. He used to walk along this street every single day.   

Check out Novi Sad’s main Orthodox Church

Located next to the Bishop’s palace, this building is a great spot to visit next.

Originally built around 1734, it was completely destroyed in the bombing of Petrovaradin in 1849, during the uprising against the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

None of the original church plans were saved, so we don’t actually know what the first building looked like, but this one was reconstructed quickly, by 1853.

With beautiful stained glass and wonderful icons painted in part by one of the most prominent Serbian artists, Paja Jovanović, it truly is a sight to see.

Marvel at the lovely the Name of Mary Church

After Belgrade fell under the Ottoman Empire in 1739, many of the wealthy Catholics migrated north to Novi Sad, where they settled.

The original building was far more modest than the one that survives today, so it was torn down at the insistence of the Catholic community, and a new one more fitting of their wealthy status was erected.

The second building was, however, badly damaged in 1849, and afterwards, after a couple of iterations of the belfry, the community was finally happy with the one that remains today.

With four altars, each of them depicting biblical scenes and characters, an organ, and imposing height of 72 meters, this impressive building is on par with ones in much bigger cities.

Visit the beautiful Novi Sad Synagogue

Once an integral part of the Jewish community in Novi Sad, this beautiful complex of Art Nouveau buildings is a landmark of Novi Sad.

While no longer used for religious ceremonies, it has spectacular acoustics, so it’s a preferred location for many concerts.

Explore the Petrovaradin Fortress and its Catacombs

The stunning Petrovaradin Fortress looks over the Danube from one of the river’s widest points, on the other side of the river from Novi Sad’s center. Its white clock tower is a main feature of the fortress, which is known for having its hour and minute hands reversed.

If you’re looking to avoid the classic tourist trap, here’s a more alternative way to experience Petrovaradin Fortress.

Located up to forty meters under sea level, this mysterious system of labyrinths, a city under a city, is a real treat for spooky mystery lovers like myself. Although many locals refer to it as catacombs, these tunnels were never used for burial.

A specifically interesting part of the systems is a tunnel that is positioned under the river Danube. There are even rumors about treasure hidden in the catacombs in the time of Napoleon’s rule, which attracted many explorers over the years, while the tunnels were completely open to the public. No one has found it yet, but that only means it might still be there!

Guided tours are available. Note: You definitely should not try to explore the catacombs on your own, as there have been many incidences of people getting lost in there!

I would also highly recommend the planetarium on the Petrovaradin fortress. How cool does observing the starry night sky from a medieval fortress sound?

Pay a visit to the Monument to the Victims of the Raid

This touching monument was erected in honor of the victims of the “January Raid”, an ethnic cleansing performed by Hungarian fascists in January 1942, when over a thousand people – Jewish, Serbian, and Roma – were killed in just three days.

The centerpiece of the monument is a bronze sculpture eponymously named “The Family,” representing exactly that – a mother, father, and child.

Festivals & Events in Novi Sad

While the EXIT Festival brings many thousands of people to Novi Sad each summer, here are some other festivals worth experiencing in Novi Sad!

Check out the local talent at the Street Musicians Festival

This awesome festival is a perfect representation of the eclectic and naturally artistic character Novi Sad possesses.

The main premise of the festival is mixing all musicians, from amateurs to professional buskers to established artists in its repertoire, and placing them all on the wonderful and picturesque streets of Novi Sad, where, according to the creators, art always belongs.

With the backdrop of the old city center, this is truly an unmissable experience, and something locals look forward to every September, just as summer is wrapping up.

Turn the city into your movie theater at the Cinema City Festival

If you’re in Novi Sad in September, you’re in luck! Cinema City is exactly what it sounds like – the entire city becomes one big cinema.

The focus of this festival is international indie film, so you know you’re in for a treat.

Get cultured during the Night of The Museums

In case you couldn’t decide between some of the spots I’ve listed above, why not visit them all, and more?

During this festival (which takes place on the third Saturday in May), all museums and other cultural objects, including some that aren’t usually open to the public, open their doors until midnight.

Aside from regular exhibitions, most museums will also have special themed exhibitions and programs. Possibly the best part – one ticket priced at around 400 dinars (less than four euro) will get you into every museum! This event also takes place in Belgrade and Niš at the same time.

Novi Sad Nightlife

The Serbian nightlife scene definitely has a reputation for being an unmissable part of your trip.

Even though Belgrade is considered party central, Novi Sad follows closely with its plethora of nightlife locales ranging from pubs and breweries to incredibly cool clubs.

After a day of sightseeing, it’s time to let your hair down and party like a local!

Bar hop down Laze Teleckog street

Named after a famous Serbian theatre actor, director, and member of the SANU (Serbian Academy of Arts and Science), Laze Teleckog street is the place to be in Novi Sad.

While it has always been renowned as a cool location with plenty of amazing live music, a laid back atmosphere, and fun-loving young people as its main patrons, the profile of its visitors has shifted slightly.

You can, however, pick your poison and choose one (or multiple, which is how the locals do it!) of the many locales riddling this interesting and colorful (metaphorically and literally) street.

From pubs playing retro foreign music and the famed ex-yu genre, to clubs with popular foreign and local music, you can’t possibly leave without having a fantastic time.

Some of the favorites are London Pub, Lazino Tele, Marta’s Pub , and Cactus Bar .

Party at the hip Firche Think Tank Studio

This club is owned by the drummer of the band EKV, one of the most famous ex-yu bands, so you can be sure that the music here is amazing.

On top of that, the retro, laid-back and simply cool atmosphere and incredibly cheap drinks make this a fantastic party spot.

Check out the youthful Dom B612

Located in an abandoned hangar, this cult spot for locals is actually managed by students from the University of Novi Sad, and it was created in response to a lack of places specifically geared towards students.

As far as music goes, this club is dedicated to shining a spotlight on music that isn’t in the mainstream, and, since it’s meant for students, you can expect prices to be very affordable.

Oh, and if B612 sounds familiar, that’s the name of the asteroid The Little Prince called home!

Party VIP-style at Paradiso

If you’re looking for a more upscale affair, this multi-level club is sure to deliver.

Fancy drinks, fancy dress and popular Serbian and foreign club music (often times housing popular Serbian singers in live performances) are what makes this club very popular with locals.

What to Eat in Novi Sad

After all that exploring and partying, you’re bound to be quite hungry!

I’ve come up with a list of my favorite places, ranging from fancy and incredibly delicious spots to cheap, amazing fast food joints for when you’ve run out of money towards the end of your trip (we’ve all been there) or are drunkenly roaming the streets looking for a bite to eat.

Try the tasty Index Sandwich

This is a Novi Sad classic, and not to mention, incredibly delicious!

The name index comes from the fact that the sandwich was created for students (who are, let’s be real, pretty penniless) as a super cheap, super filling meal. (Students in Serbia use booklets called Indexes which contain all of their information, grades, subjects and such.)

The Index is made in a bread roll and filled with all manner of food, but the backbone of the sandwich is generally ham, cheese (lots of cheese) and mushrooms, and then the whole concoction is toasted. Yum!

Pro Tip: Especially amazing at three-ish in the morning after a heavy night of drinking.

You’ll find this delicacy pretty much everywhere you turn in Novi Sad, but you can get the OG Index at Vanessa Index, and Index House is probably the most popular spot.

Snack on a delicious crepe at Disney Crepes

Crepes are a Serbian favorite, especially when they’re massive and dripping in Nutella.

You’ll find crepes all over the city, but this place has a really good reputation! Pro Tip: this place lets you double your filling of choice.

Have a late-night snack at the fast food joints on Laze Teleckog Street

Since this is party central, it also has a large concentration of these kinds of places that are open 24/7 and have low prices and really good food.

If you’re feeling like pizza, I recommend Donna where you can get pizza by the slice, and if you’re a fan of Gyros, you’ll love Giros Land (it’s right opposite London Pub).

Dine in style at Petrus

This restaurant is on the more expensive end of the spectrum (which is not a very pricey spectrum to begin with in Serbia), but the food is worth every penny.

Here you’ll find a typical menu with burgers, steaks, pizza, desserts and so on. I would especially recommend the cocktails here – they are seriously amazing.

Of course, this article shows just some of many of my favorite spots in Novi Sad, which just goes to show you how much there is to experience here. I hope this little guide will help you make your stay an experience to remember!

Šta videti u Novom Sadu

Novi Sad/Újvidék/Neusatz je već tri veka, koliko postoji pod tim imenima, prostor raznolikog, bogatog kulturnog nasleđa mnogih naroda koji u njemu žive. Materijalna i nematerijalna kulturna baština stvarana u prošlim vekovima osnov je na kome počiva interaktivna mreža naučnih i kulturnih institucija, što Novi Sad danas čini prostorom aktivnog susreta kultura i različitih identiteta.

Urbano gradsko jezgro krase barokne, neorenesansne, klasicističke i bauhaus građevine, kao i mnogobrojni verski objekti.

Svaki posetilac prema svom unutrašnjem osećaju za lepo i prijatno, atraktivno i veselo, korisno i pristupačno može stvoriti sopstveni ugođaj upoznajući sve slojeve prošlosti i sadašnjosti Novog Sada. Novi Sad, grad na Dunavu, grad evropske istorije i tradicije i balkanske gostoljubivosti je iskustvo koje vam nedostaje.

Arhitektura

Novi sad za mlade, novi sad za porodice, novi sad za seniore, skriveni novi sad, zeleni novi sad, insta novi sad.

Istraži Novi Sad i frušku goru

Digitalna mapa Novog Sada i fruške gore

Smeštaj u Novom Sadu

Novi Sad se može pohvaliti raznovrsnom ponudom smeštajnih kapaciteta koja zadovoljava potrebe turista različitih afiniteta. Kao administrativni centar Vojvodine, Novi Sad se razvio u destinaciju kongresnog turizma koja poseduje veliki broj moderno opremljenih kongresnih sala.

Hosteli i ostali smeštaj

Poslovni turizam

Ne trudi se da razumeš, oseti

Ima nešto u njemu… Nešto što nikada nije samo jedna stvar,uvek je nešto između .

Kažu da prvu ljubav nikada ne zaboraviš.

Smatram da se ovo ne primenjuje samo na ljude, već i na gradove.

Grad kome se stalno vraćam, bučan i miran u isto vreme.

Svakom po nešto može doneti, pre svega inspiraciju. Ako ga posetite jednom, sigurno će ostati nešto čemu ćete se vratiti.

Novi Sad: Brzinska poema na dunavskoj plaži.

Kultura je iza svakog ugla. Novi Sad ima mnogo toga da ponudi, mnogo toga da ispriča i mnogo doživaljaja da vam pruži.

Ta topla duša Novog Sada.

Ovo je grad po meri mladih koji vrvi od života. Destinacija koja će brzo postati “vaša” i osvojiti vas toplinom, gostoljubivošću i otvorenošću – a da ne spominjemo i fantastičnom hranom.

Novi Sad, Mesto gde mi je uvek lepo .

Novi Sad je za mene neki poseban mir , neka posebna energija … Uvek mi je ovde lepo. Zar to nije najbolja moguća preporuka za neki grad?

U gradu u kome su napuštene fabrike postale mesto za održavanje uzbudljivih umetničkih događaja, istorijska tvrđava služi i kao mesto održavanja muzičkih festivala, a živopisna ulična umetnost osvetljava najneočekivanije uglove kvartova te je gotovo previše lako uroniti u kulturnu scenu Novog Sada.

Šoping u Novom Sadu

Mesta za dobar šoping ima u skoro svim delovima Novog Sada. Pored nekoliko tržnih centara i suvenirnica koje se nalaze u gradu, u blizini centralne zone mogu se naći i dobro snabdevene pijace.

Suveniri i lokalni proizvodi

Tržni centri, lokalni dizajneri, turistički info centri.
