Novi Sad
Cultural Mecca
A Historical Treasure of Europe
Novi Sad is a home of EXIT, one of the best music festivals in Europe that brings together the best musicians from around the world. It happened in July while I was in Belgrade. While many people love this kind of thing, it is a little outside my ideal so I chose to visit Novi Sad after EXIT had…exited. buwahaha.
Novi Sad is located in a vast plain, spacious and open to all directions. Fortress of Petrovaradin, a historical site, is on the right bank of the River Danube. The city is also a green oasis of city parks with a labyrinth of streets and alleys. It is the second largest city in Republic of Serbia with the population between 300,000 and 400,000 citizens.
Novi Sad, known also as “the Serbian Athens” due to its remarkable culture and history. You can enjoy some of the city’s most famous kafanas (traditional Serbian taverns) and relax or indulge in the great Vojvodinian cuisine and tremendous tamburitza music.
Not far from the city is Fruška Gora mountain with 17 Christian Orthodox monasteries and oldest of them dates from the XV century.
Plan to spend several days in this area. I was told to stay a while and I didn’t listen, I regret that decision.

Until I see you again Serbia
Goodbye Serbia, I will miss you, your vibe, your people, your food, I will miss all of you and every bit of how I felt being with you.
Can you miss something you don’t know?
Journey to Northern Serbia: Sremski Karlovci and Novi Sad. Goran warned me but I didn’t take his advice. I should have stayed longer 100%.

AND THERE YOU ARE! Face to Face with a…Spomenik. Let’s be clear about the Spomeniks! They are the legacy of the past and an outlook to the future.
Serbian Street Food. YES! YES! YES!
Feed me all your delish pastries, the cheese, the fresh ingredients, all the yummies in my tummy. @ferdinandknedle @glumac_palacinkarnica @BelgradeNightlifeTours @drama_cevapi
What am I thinking?
What’s the point in experiencing what every one else experiences. So give me the unknown, the mysterious, the grit, the soul, the real life. I want that!!! I want all of that and nothing of anything else.
