Why Novi Sad matters
Novi Sad has a calmer rhythm than the capital. Its pastel Habsburg-style old centre is full of cafes and squares, and across the river a massive fortress rises above the Danube. Locals head to the beaches and riverside promenades in summer, and the cultural scene is lively. It is also a good base for the monasteries of nearby Fruska Gora.
Talking points
- A huge fortress stands on the opposite bank of the Danube.
- Cafes and squares fill the pastel old centre.
- Fruska Gora's monasteries are a short drive away.
