Why Subotica matters

Subotica feels closer to Budapest than to Belgrade. Its centre is lined with Art Nouveau buildings in bright colours, topped by an ornate town hall with a tall tower. Nearby, the lakeside resort of Palic adds a calm, green retreat. It is one of the most atmospheric places in the northern plains.

Talking points

  • Art Nouveau facades fill the main square.
  • The city is close to the border with Hungary.
  • Lake Palic is a leafy resort a short ride away.
