Apart from being one of the largest and most beautiful cities in Serbia and the region, Novi Sad stands for a city with special sensibility, exceptional history and excellent gastronomy. If you still haven’t got the chance to visit it, we suggest you do it now, during the summer period, when its potentials and beauty are maybe most prominent. Novi Sad is a city where you cannot get bored. Regardless of your interests or age, this city can offer you the most interesting activities to create lifelong memories. We suggest several most interesting locations you can visit in one weekend in Novi Sad.

City centre

In order to get to know the city, its soul and core, first, take a walk in the centre. In the centre of Novi Sad, an impressive square embellished with the famous cathedral awaits you, followed by a large number of small, side alleys ideal for taking a break, a wide and clear promenade and the famous Danube street that connects the centre with the Danube bank. In the very centre of Novi Sad, there is also Pupin Hotel, which has restaurants and the fantastic summer terrace Kalem Garden, where you can refresh and renew your energy for the following ventures. 

Walk on the Petrovaradin Fortress walls

Light walks around Novi Sad are very beautiful and inspiring for all architecture, art and cultural edifice lovers. Almost at every step, you can find an inspiring place for taking photographs or enjoyment. One of the most beautiful and famous places you must visit is the Petrovaradin Fortress. The most attractive tourist zone of Novi Sad and a magnificent example of European military architecture is recognisable by its famous “Drunken Clock” that is situated on the place from which you can see the entire city. Its gates are open to all visitors, and those who want some more challenges can be directed to organised sightseeing tours of the fortress underground, which is a special experience.

Swimming at the city beach “Štrand”

Descending from the fortress you will reach the beautifully decorated promenade, and then to the famous city beach Štrand. In the summer days, this part of the Danube bank looks like a separate city at sea. Beach bars, deck chairs and various activities for kids will make you feel like you went to some far away destination. Sunbathing or enjoying the shade and refreshment near the beautiful, blue Danube is an ideal way to spend a perfect afternoon in Novi Sad. 

Excursions to Fruška gora 

If you are a lover of long walks, we suggest you Fruška gora tour – the highest Vojvodina mountain.
