Tour Price : sixty euro Duration : two hours Languages: English, former Yugoslavian languages (Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrian...)

Visit Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia and the jewel of the Vojvodina flatlands. This beautiful town of some three hundred thousand inhabitants is situated on the very bank of the Danube. Take a stroll down the central streets and experience the archaic atmosphere of past times. This bohemian town is full of old taverns and inns which generations of bohemians used to visit and still do. Many important undertakings and crucial moments in Serbian culture and history are directly connected with Novi Sad. It will definitely win your affections with its neo-baroque architecture. Take a 15-minutes walk to the old Petrovaradin fortress, one of the largest of European fortresses and see why it is called the Gibraltar of the Danube. The fortress town inside Petrovaradin walls still hides charming old artisan shops from the past centuries. Discover the mysteries of 16 km of underground facilities and passages below the fortress, not more than 8 km of which have been fully excavated. Once a year, in July, this fortress becomes a separate “state” – the STATE OF EXIT festival. It is becoming increasingly popular and is now one of the most visited music festivals in Europe. The city of Novi Sad lies on the slopes of Fruska Gora Mountain, the largest natural linden tree habitat in Europe and one of Serbia’s seven national parks. This Serbian “Holy Mountain” harbours 17 Orthodox monasteries, the oldest among them dating from medieval times.
