December days bring a lot of joy, beautiful moments and sincere emotions. Festive euphoria is slowly creeping into homes, and the streets already look a lot like the ornate Christmas squares of the world’s metropolises. December in Novi Sad has a special charm. Painted with the most beautiful colors, full of excited people and wide smiles, this city radiates a special energy that needs to be experienced. If you want to spend the winter in Novi Sad, we recommend the most beautiful winter events worth visiting.

The greatest magic is happening in the very center of the city, on Freedom Square(Trg Slobode). As in many larger cities in the world, a Christmas market is being held in Novi Sad. This year’s “Zimzolend” started on 26 November and will last until 29 December. Visitors will be able to enjoy various contents, to warm up with a glass of mulled wine or rakija. The main attraction is the construction in the shape of a New Year’s tree, on which children’s choirs perform every day. Enjoying the holiday music is complemented by a carriage ride through the city center, as well as various local products that can be bought in one of the thirty stalls set up on the square. The miraculously decorated space contributes to the complete experience of New Year’s magic, which attracts smiles with its glow and evokes the most beautiful feelings.

In the immediate vicinity of the square, in the Danube Park (Dunavski park), the magic continues. The beautifully decorated Danube Street (Dunavska ulica) takes you to the next New Year’s fairy tale. The ice forest has been attracting the smiles of skating fans for years, but also of all those who love the holidays and the New Year’s glow. December and January are the times of the year when the paths of the Danube Park become a spacious skating rink and a paradise for visitors of all ages. The covered ice rink and its circular trail cover an area of ​​1,300 square meters, and as you take the icy trail around the lake, you have the feeling that you are going through chapters of a most beautiful winter story. This year’s holiday fairy tale will last for a month, from 17 December to 16 January.

After a walk through the divinely decorated city streets, the perfect way to warm up and refresh yourself in the pre-holiday winter days is a cup of hot tea at the Kalem restaurant. The festive ambience decorated in accordance with the New Year’s holidays completely fits the fairytale environment. In addition to hot tea, we suggest you try some of the perfect creamy desserts, which with their unique taste contribute to the festive mood and ignite all your senses.
