Novi Sad trip planner

The regional and cultural center of northern Serbia, the riverside city of Novi Sad occupies a strategically advantageous position between Belgrade and Budapest. Easily reachable from most major cities in this part of Europe, this growing urban center stretches along both banks of the Danube River. The city's major attractions include its lively city center and a 17th century fortress, once a significant military outpost of the region's Habsburg rulers. Today the medieval citadel houses a renowned museum and serves as the site of the country's largest music festival. Still relatively undiscovered by foreign travelers, Novi Sad provides a quieter alternative to country's overcrowded capital located just 80 km (50 mi) from a major international airport.
