4 Foreword
To most foreigners, Serbia’s second city of Novi Sad
is synonymous with one thing and one thing only, the
annual Exit Festival. While Exit is undoubtedly one of
Europe’s foremost music events - both in terms of the
level and diversity of the artists it attracts, as well as
its truly unique venue at Petrovaradin Fortress - the city
and surrounding area have more to offer than arguably
anywhere else in Serbia or even the wider region.
Novi Sad’s position at one of the continent’s true
crossroads and history as a multinational commercial
and transit centre has left it endowed with historical
and cultural sights that even much larger cities have
difficulty matching. From the imposing fortress on the
opposite bank to the churches representing numerous
denominations throughout the old town’s exceedingly
pleasant pedestrian zone to several unheralded but
noteworthy museums and art galleries, Novi Sad has
much to boast about. And within easy driving, or cycling,
distance there the monasteries of Fruška Gora and the
inviting Salaši tourist farms. In January of the city will also
be jointly host one the most important sporting events
that Serbia has ever seen: the 2012 EHF Euro Handball
Championship - see the Culture and Events section for
more details about the event and a full schedule of the
matches. As always we welcome any and all feedback
from our readers, be it on Facebook, Twitter or even
old-fashioned email.

Press Box
“Solid, reliable information on everything from
where to book a reasonable B&B to how best
to spend 72 hours in a city.”
The Guardian
“You do not even need to pack a guidebook:
just pick up an In Your Pocket when you arrive.”
Simon Calder
The Independent & LBC Radio
“In Your Pocket: a cheeky, well-written series
of guidebooks.”
The New York Times
“Most of the traditional guidebook companies
now have decent websites, with plenty of advice
and information either freely available or
downloadable for a fee, but inyourpocket.com
is also well worth a browse. Concentrating on
both well-known and more offbeat European
destinations, its free downloadable city and
country guides are compiled by locals and
regularly updated.”
The Independent
“The secret of the In Your Pocket guides is
that, unlike many expensive travel guides, they
are written by native English speakers living in
the city they are writing about. That can lend
itself to frank, matter-of-fact advice about your
destination rather than jaded impressions from
world-weary professional travel writers.”
The Irish Times
“With so many European cities now within easy
range of a low-cost airline flight, this website is a
(literally) priceless first stop before your holiday.
The guides are free to download and print off as
pdfs and have information on where to eat and
stay and what to see on European city breaks.”
The Times
“The In Your Pocket series of guide booklets
have turned out to be highly useful in avoiding
tourist traps and other travel hazards. A mix of
Lonely Planet and Time Out, they have become
a European publishing phenomenon.”

arrivinG in novi saD
By plane
The nearest airport is in Belgrade - Nikola Tesla Airport,
about 70km away from Novi Sad. The arrivals hall houses car
rentals, an exchange office open 24hrs, several ATMs, and
there is a currency exchange machine available in Terminal
1. There is no difference in currency exchange rates at the
airport and in the city. Jat Airways lost luggage is handled
by Su-Port service, tel. 267 63 74, and the lost luggage of
other air carriers by Lost & Found airport service, tel. 209
48 54, which will deliver the found luggage to any address
in the city. You can call home from a Halo telephone booth,
using Halo magnetic cards, available at news stands at the
airport. Terminal 2 departure hall features a post office and
an internet café, open 07:30 - 18:30, Sat 08:00 - 14:00,
Closed Sun. From the airport, you can reach Novi Sad in
two ways: getting to Belgrade first and then getting a coach
to Novi Sad, (time consuming) or hiring one of Novi Sad
taxi operators, whose services you must book beforehand
(quick and simple).
To get to Belgrade, you can take a Jat Airways shuttle, whose
departures coincide with arrivals of that airline, or a public
transport bus or you can take a taxi. Ignore the pushy taxi
drivers accosting travellers at arrivals hall, because they
will rip you off. The best advice would be to call a taxi (ask
someone to do it for you) and your taxi will arrive in front of
the terminal building in a few minutes. The ride to the Old
Town takes about 20 min, and the price should not exceed
15 EUR (except on weekends and public holidays). The
number of passengers or luggage should not affect the price
of the ride. Some of taxi companies: Lux taxi, tel. (+38111)

or coach to Novi Sad.

By train
Novi Sad is one of the stops on international Vienna-Budapest-
Belgrade-Istanbul route. The Budapest-Novi Sad leg is about 5
hours long. The Railway Station, located not very far from the
town centre, offers exchange offices, ATMs, telephone booths.
Avoid the taxi sharks waiting on the semicircular driveway in front
of the station building and if you want a taxi hail one a little down
the street, or go to the taxi rank located on the parking to the
left of the driveway. In front of the station building, you will easily
find bus stops. Bus line Nº4 will take you to the centre of the
town. The Railway Station is located at the beginning of Bulevar
Oslobođenja B-2, traversing the entire town, so it should be fairly
easy to get around with a little help of the map..
By bus
Novi Sad has two bus stations for international travel: the old
one – the Central Bus Station located right next to the Railway
Station at the beginning of Bulevar Oslobođenja B-2, (take bus
Nº4 to get to the centre of the town) and the new one - ATP
Vojvodina Bus Station at the corner of Sentandrejski put and
Put novosadskog partizanskog odreda Streets (a little further
away, bus Nº1 runs to the centre of the town). Where you will end
up depends on your bus operator. Novi Sad is well served by a
nationwide network of bus routes, and there are bus departures
to Belgrade every half hour or less until midnight (tickets from
435 till 700 dinars), so you can use all the international routes
linking Belgrade to major cities in Europe.
By boat
Sailing the Danube is the most scenic route to Novi Sad.
Commercial boats dock at the pier near Varadinski Bridge
near the centre of the town.

82,86%, Hungarians 3,91%, Bosniacks 1,82%, Roma
1,44%, others 9,97%. The official language is Serbian, with
Cyrillic being the official script, but the Latin script is equally
used. Hungarian, Slovakian and Ruthenian languages and
their scripts are also in official use in Novi Sad.
Jovan Jovanović Zmaj - one of Serbia’s best-know poets -
lends his name to Novi Sad’s pedestrian street
Religion
Orthodox Christianity is the major religion. Serbian Orthodox
Church became autonomous in 1219. Other important
religious communities are Muslim, Catholic and Jewish,
and Methodist Evangelical and Reformed communities also
have a fair number of followers.

Sava River 206km, and the Drina River forms most of the
border to the West (220km). Another important Serbian

Local time
Serbia is in the Central European Time Zone: GMT + 1 hours
(in winter), GMT + 2 during daylight saving. When it is noon
in Novi Sad it is: 11:00 in London, 06:00 in New York, 21:00
in Sydney and 14:00 in Moscow.
Money
The Serbian currency is the dinar (RSD). The first mention of a
‘Serbian dinar’ dates back to 1214. Each dinar is divided into
100 paras, no longer in use, thus prices at shops are rounded
off. Coins come in the following denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10 and
20 dinars. The banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20,
50, 100, 200, 500, 1.000, 2.000 and 5.000 dinars. National
currency is pegged to Euro. You can change money in a bank or
any of the exchange offices dotting the town (they are marked
with the logo of the National Bank of Serbia). The differences
in exchange rates are negligible. Most banks in Novi Sad will
change travellers cheques, American Express, Thomas Cook,
VISA and Eurocheques. Western Union money transfers from
abroad can be collected from the post office and most banks.
You can buy almost all goods and services with bank cards, and
you need cash only for green markets, kiosks, and paying the
parking. Throughout the town, there is a large number of ATMs
where you can collect money 24h. Cards widely acceptable
in Novi Sad are VISA, VISA Electron, MasterCard, Eurocard,
Maestro, Diners Club and local DinaCard. American Express
has recently been introduced to Serbian market, and a rather
limited number of shops and ATMs will accept it.
Smoking
Most people in Novi Sad consider coffee and cigarettes a
perfect way to start the day, so non-smokers may be in for
something of a shock. While in theory the city has recently
begun enforcing a smoking ban similar to those in many
EU countries, in practice it will likely be sometime before a
majority of restaurants, bars and clubs are actually smokefree.
However, the smoking ban is more or less respected
in public premises (ie banks, post offices, hospitals, etc).
Health
Tap water is safe to drink. The estimated number of AIDS cases
is low. Doctors and medical staff in state-run hospitals are
professional and reliable, and you need not worry about their skills
if you should get ill. The worrisome part are poor maintenance of
state run hospitals, which is a consequence of insufficient funds,
and the red tape involved in hospital admission. If you have a
minor health problem, you are well advised to visit a private
practice so as to avoid an agonizing wait.
Local laws & Police
You will be required to declare money (including travellers’
cheques) in excess of €10,000 (or equivalent in other
currencies) that you bring into Serbia. Prostitution and use of

drugs are illegal, so try and stay out of trouble, and anyway,
being a foreigner, you may not be able to spot out plainclothes
police officers. Police in full riot gear are a regular sight at
football matches, and that should not alarm you.
Homosexuality
A public display of homosexual affection is unacceptable
in Serbia. Declared homosexuals are tolerated as long as
they don’t show their affections in the street, which could
provoke an aggressive reaction from an onlooker. There
are no gay clubs in Novi Sad, so they go to ‘straight’ clubs.
There are gay/lesbian associations, for more info visit www.
gay-serbia.com
Visas
If you are a citizens of the EU, Norway, Switzerland, USA,
Israel, Japan, Russia, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cuba, Republic of Korea, you can
enter Serbia without a visa and may stay in the country for
90 days. Citizens of other countries must obtain a visa from
a Serbian consulate before travelling. Within 12 hours of your
arrival in Serbia, you are required to register with the nearest
police station. If you are staying in a hotel or hostel, they
will automatically do that for you. Failure to register carries
a massive fine. For all the details on how to extend your
stay or procure a working permit, contact the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Directorate of Consular Affairs in
Belgrade, Kneza Miloša 24-26, tel. 306 82 68 or Novi

BBB, Bulevar kralja Petra I 11, tel. 488 40 00.
Toilets
Public toilets in Novi Sad are hard to find. The existing ones
are fairly decent and can be found next to the Town Hall on
Kralja Aleksandra Street, in Dunavski Park, at Sports and
Business Centre Vojvodina on Sutjeska Street C-2 and at
bus and train stations, open 06:00-20:00. If the need to go
comes on whilst you are strolling round the town, you can
use the toilet in the nearby café or restaurant.
Safety
Novi Sad is a fairly safe place. There is not a single part
of the town where a girl should not walk on her own in the
middle of the night. You may come across stray dogs, but
they are generally minding their own business and not giving
anyone a trouble.
Disabled travellers
Most hotels, restaurants and cafés are inaccessible to
disabled patrons and hardly any offers toilet facilities for
the disabled.

installed in power. Most of German population leaves Novi
Sad. In the post-war period, Novi Sad becomes the capital
of Vojvodina region, grows rapidly and develops into an
important centre of political, cultural and sporting life. Crown
Prince Aleksandar, son to King Peter II is born in Claridges
Hotel in London.
1980 Josip Broz Tito dies. Yugoslavia is now governed by
‘Presidency’ comprised of 8 members (6 from the republics
and 2 from Serbian provinces).

Yugoslavia. Slovenia and Croatia declare independence, civil
war erupts. Crown Prince Aleksandar II visits Serbia for the
first time in his life.

during the wars of Yugoslav succession. In June, following a
piece agreement, NATO troops are stationed in Kosovo and
Metohija. Around 200,000 Kosovo Serbs find refuge in Serbia.
During the 78 days of bombing, Novi Sad is left without all of its
three Danube bridges, communications, water, and electricity.

in Europe, the second in the world, takes direct hits on four
different days, before it finally collapses into the water, hit again

and monasteries.

Albanians from Kosovo and Metohija province of Serbia
declare independence from Serbia. The international
community is still divided over this issue - some countries

it. Serbian leadership does not want an armed conflict and
is striving to prevent the secession of its province through
diplomatic and political means. Massive protests are staged
throughout Serbia. Around 500,000 people are gathered in
Belgrade at peaceful demonstrations and prayer against
Kosovo independence, while several hundreds of youngsters
demolish and burn the emptied building of the US Embassy.
Political framework
Serbia is a parliamentary republic. The Serbian Parliament
has 250 seats. The MPs are elected for a term of 4 years,
the President is elected to serve a 5-year term. The most
recent parliamentary elections were held in January 2007
and the presidential elections in January 2008. The current
President is Boris Tadić of the Democratic Party, and the Prime
Minister is Mirko Cvetković. Democratic Party, together with
G17 Plus and Socialist Party of Serbia (deceased Slobodan
Milošević’s party) form the ruling government coalition. The
major opposition parties are the Serbian Radical Party (the
single strongest party in Serbia), Democratic Party of Serbia
and Liberal Democratic Party.
Milutin Milanković
One of Serbia's most acclaimed
scientific figures was
born on 28 May 1879 in the
small village of Dalj, which was
then part of the Austro-Hungarian
empire. He went on to a
successful and prolific career
in the field of civil engineering
before turning his attention to
geophysics and gaining international
renown for this theories
of long-term climate change
and the Earth's orbital cycles.
After graduating from the prestigious Vienna University
of Technology with a degree in civil engineering in 1902,
Milanković completed his doctorate two years later, and
earned a position at the well-known (and tongue-twisting)
engineering firm Adolf Baron Pittel Betonbau-Unternehmung
in Vienna, where he specialised in the novel use of
reinforced concrete and designed various dams, bridges,
viaducts, aqueducts and other structures throughout the
empire. In 1909, he was offered the chair of the applied
mathematics faculty in Belgrade, and eagerly moved
back to his ancestral homeland at the age of 30.
Not long after he had settled in the Serbian capital, the
region became engulfed in the Balkan Wars, followed by
World War II, which led to the young scientist's internment
by the Austro-Hungarian army in Budapest. Fortunately
he was allowed to work in the library of the Hungarian
Academy of Sciences, where he began pursuing his interest
in the study of solar climates and temperatures on
other planets. After the war ended, Milanković had his
first monograph published both in Serbia and Paris. The
publication won him considerable recognition in the field
and he went on to work with some of the world's most
prominent meteorologists and climatologist and further
develop his own theories in the 1920s.
Milanković's most known theories concern the cycle of
the Earth's glacial periods (or ice ages) - which are now
known as Milankovitch cycles - and the effect of solar
radiation as a result of the Earth's orbit. After his death
in Belgrade in 1958, craters on both the moon and Mars
were named after him, as well as a minor planet.

EHF Euro 2012 Handball Championship
15 -29 January
SPENS
www.ehf-euro.com +381 11 262 14 50
Serbia is hosting the 2012 EHF Euro Handball
Championship from 15-29 January, with the Group C
preliminary round matches taking place in Novi Sad’s
SPENS centre. While Group B may not include the
Serbian team (which is playing its Group A matches
in Belgrade), it does feature the defending champions
France, as well as the always competitive teams from
Hungary, Spain and Russia, guaranteeing that there
will be some exciting hard-fought matches early on.
Always near the top of the world rankings, the Serbian
team may not be the odds on favourites to win the event,
but star player Momir Ilić - who plays club handball for
perennial German powerhouse THW Kiel - says that
anything short of a medal should be considered a
failure for the home team, although he did realistically
stop short of guaranteeing outright victory. Serbian
head coach Vuković Veselin - who was also a very
accomplished player during his 10-year international
career - echoes Ilić’s hope for a medal and thinks that
the home crowd advantage will definitely help propel
the team to a strong showing.
If you have a chance to make it to Belgrade later in
the month, the semifinals are scheduled for Friday, 27
January, while the finals will take place two days later
on 29 January, both at Belgrade Arena. And as Europe
is widely regarded as home to the best handball in the
world, the tournament will likely provide a preview of the
top competition at the 2012 Olympics in London later in
the year - at much cheaper prices! Tickets for matches
in Novi Sad begin at only 800 RSD (or a bit less than

18 Culture & events
Nikola Tesla
Born in the small Serbian village of Smiljan in what was
then the Austrian Empire, Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943)
went on to become one of the most prolific inventors of
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and revolutionise
the field of electromagnetism. After originally studying
electrical engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz
in 1875, Tesla held a variety of positions in the cities of
Maribor, Prague and Budapest, and was briefly the chief
electrician of Hungary's first telephone system before
moving to France to work for the Continental Edison
Company in 1882. Tesla moved to the US in 1884, and
was charged with completely redesigning Edison's inefficient
direct current generators, but left the company
after less than two years over a disagreement about pay.
This led to a lifelong feud between the two inventors and
the so-called War of Currents, which was won by Tesla's
system of alternating current in the following decade.
In 1891, Tesla established his own laboratory in New
York, and went on to not only pioneer modern day electrical
engineering, but also contributed greatly to the fields
of wireless technology, robotics, computer science and
theoretical physics. Despite his unparalleled scientific
contributions, during his lifetime Tesla's genius was often
overshadowed by his somewhat eccentric personality
and penchant for seemingly outrageous (although
sometimes entirely true) claims about future scientific
and technological advancements. In particular, his later
attempts to develop a directed-energy weapon, referred
to in the press as a 'death ray', contributed greatly to his
image as the proto-typical mad scientist. After his death
in 1943, Tesla's ashes were taken to Belgrade, and have
resided in a gold-plated spherical urn at the Nikola Tesla
Museum (p.49) since 1957.

46 EXIT FESTIVAL 2012eXit
Festival 2012
EXIT 2012
Even in Europe's increasingly crowded summer festival circuit,
Exit is one of the few names that manages to stand out from
the pack - and for good reason. Held every July since 2000, the
festival calls Novi Sad's magnificent Petrovaradin Fortress home.
Perched high above the Danube, the 300 year-old fortress is a
protected heritage site and provides a setting unlike any other
for the some 200,000 festival-goers who flock to northern Serbia
for four days each summer. Exit also has the added benefit of
taking place in a major urban area - Novi Sad is second largest
city after Belgrade, with nearly 400,000 inhabitants - meaning
that if camping out isn't your thing, you can book a proper hotel
room just across the river and take advantage of everything else
the city has to offer. Of course at the centre of it all is the music,
and Exit's line up is second to none. An eclectic mix of performers
from nearly every genre imaginable will be competing for the
attention of audiences at seven main stages and almost two
dozen smaller ones. Last year's headlining acts included Arcade
Fire, Pulp, Jamiroquai, Portishead, Grinderman, MIA, Underworld,
Bad Religion, Santagold and Beirut among many many others.
We've done our best to include all of the essential info here, but
for a complete run-down of everything happening and everyone
performing check out the official festival website at exitfest.org,
and for more info on where to sleep and eat and what to do in Novi
Sad see our own guide at novi_sad.inyourpocket.com.
Info
Every bit of information that you could possibly want to know
about Exit can be found on the multi-lingual, user-friendly and
highly interactive official site: exitfest.org. Including the full line ups
of artists, ticket sales, photos and video from previous festivals,
travel info, site and city maps, and tons more.
Tickets: 4-day tickets are £91 + a £6 booking fee. VIP passes,
which give you access to several VIP-only are also available. All
tickets can be bought online with a credit card or PayPal and are
issued as eTickets so there's no need to wait for them to arrive in
the post. If previous years are any indication, the standard 4-day
passes will sell out at least a couple weeks prior to the festival,
so waiting till the last minute is not the best idea. Also, this year
the organisers have decided to all festival goers with special
wristbands upon their arrival, so there's no need to worry about
losing any tickets.
Camping: For many people, Exit Village, the official onsite festival
camp ground, is just as much or even more of the reason of
attending than the music itself. The area also includes access
to various workshops, courses and other entertainment. Last
year entrance was £25 per person for the duration of the event.
Arriving: Novi Sad is located a short one hour drive north of
Belgrade, and easily reached from the capital by frequent bus
and train connections. With a noticeable lack of budget airlines
compared with other major European capitals, Belgrade is not
the cheapest city to fly into, however, Exit's organisers have
partnered with JAT Airways, Serbia's flagship carrier, to offer
special discounted return tickets from over 30 cities across the
continent from Moscow to London to Malta. See www.fly2exit.
org for more details and availability.
Stages
Main Stage: This is the largest festival stage with a capacity of
35,000 people - it's the heart of Exit.
Dance Arena: The second largest festival stage which as on
numerous occasions been proclaimed as the best dance arena
in the whole of Europe. It is the Mecca for all true clubbers and it
has a capacity of 25,000 people.
Fusion Stage: The second largest concert stage with a capacity
of 10,000 visitors the Converse Fusion Stage is reserved for not
only the best performers from the region, but from the world as well.
Suba Stage: Right above the river, Suba Stage has always been
a safe haven of good fun and new experiences. Named for one
of Novi Sad's most renowned musicians, Mitar Subotic Suba,
the stage is dedicated to all those who expand musical horizons,
opening new frontiers and connecting different worlds.
Explosive Stage: The most extreme of all the stages in the
festival, this year Explosive Stage is presenting bands from all
over the world. It's the place where a hard sound is bred. Metal,
HC, Punk. If you like guitars and an uncompromising sound find
your place among the 5000 Explosive fans.
East Point Roots & Flower Stage: An alternative to the general
noise and madness of the rest of the festival, this stage offers a
more relaxed natural atmosphere.
Positive Vibration Reggae Stage: The most laid back of all the
stages, this is the place to come for some seriously good vibrations.
HappyNoviSad Stage: As in previous years, this stage
showcases some of the best cutting edge and up and coming
performers in the world of electronica.
Elektrana: The place for people with sophisticated taste in
music, ready to experiment, explore and search for new musical
treasures. For four nights electric waves will emanate from synths,
rhythm machines, vocoders, vinyls and laptops.

some other hotels. Both smoking and non-smoking rooms

The oldest hotel in town, opened in 1854. It is in the centre
of the town on Trg slobode, so it is ideal for those who prefer
being right in the centre of the action to peace and quiet.
The atmosphere in the hotel befits its age and the staff are
sometimes sluggish and disinterested. 59 rooms and 2 suites

the Aurora is an excellent value business class hotel located
on the banks of the Danube to the northeast of the city centre.
While the surroundings are not the most picturesque in town
(unless of course you find industrial zones appealing), the
centre is only a short drive or medium-length walk away, and
many of the rooms offer views of the river and Petrovaradin
fortress on the opposite bank. The rooms are also generously
large (25m2 for singles/doubles and a whopping 50m2 suites),
and service generally excellent. 42 rooms (singles 3450-3950

The restaurant on the top floor feels a little claustrophobic

Serbian cuisine is a reflection of the historical circumstances
this country has been exposed to throughout the
centuries - a combination of various culinary influences
prepared in an entirely unique and original way. The
food served in restaurants is healthy and completely
organic - with no genetically modified products or artificial
flavourings, and the portions tend to be large. Most
meals are prepared with a considerable amount of meat,
and served with a variety of vegetables. ‘Home-cooked’
meals tend to be more spicy.

are not usually found on the menus of Chinese restaurants

remotely French about the place. Instead you will find
what is perhaps the world’s smallest cantina serving
a dozen or so Serbian dishes (mainly soups and hearty
stews) to an endless stream of satisfied customers

Not to be confused with the once mighty internet portal,
Foody! is a big, bright buffet restaurant just off the main

the amount of meat you get on a small electronic scale
may seem a bit stingy, but judging from our experience it’s
only to make sure that they don’t give you too little - ie, the
gyros are huge! Ordering your choice of meat, vegetable

understated elegance of the interior. It consists of three
rooms which differ in size, making it an ideal setting for
business lunches and intimate dinners alike. The menu may
not be copious, but is guaranteed to lure you back. Even the
food arrangement is a cut above the standard offer: the leek
and mushroom soup is served in a scooped-out loaf of bread,
and succulent char-grilled chicken breast wrapped in bacon
and stuffed with prunes comes with peach sauce. There are
dishes, specialties of the house, which must be ordered three
hours ahead of coming to the restaurant. The only down side

Kamenjar is not the easiest place to find, so taking a
taxi from the centre is recommended even if you have
your own transport, which will also give you an excuse to
have an extra glass or two of rakija. The somewhat run
down and battered looking restaurant is a true Serbian
institution though, and more than worth the effort of
getting there. It’s long been popular with various artist,
politicians, celebrities and foreign journalists (especially
during Exit Festival), so you’re likely to be in good company,
but reservations are a must at the weekends. The
traditionally prepared fish dishes are roundly excellent,
as is the local wine to wash the food down with, and
every meal should include a least a few courses. During
the summer months there are weekly fish soup cooking
competitions, and every Autumn the premises are home
to an artist’s colony, whose work adorns most of the walls
inside. With advanced notice and weather permitting,
boat rides can be arranged to a protected island on the
opposite bank of the Danube, and there’s even talk of
one day building an eco camp there.

Local Specialties
For the main course, most restaurants in Novi Sad will
offer roštilj - different types of barbecued meat cuts
served with finely chopped onion. Although many world
nations prepare their meat in a similar style, Serbs have
managed to elevate barbecued meat to an art form, and
nowhere else will you have the opportunity to try such
specialties. The meat needs to be primed in a particular
way before it can be tossed on the grill, typically heated
with beech charcoal. Barbecue chefs are a class of
their own, and the best of the bunch come from the
south-Serbian town of Leskovac. Types of barbecued
meat include ćevapčići (cylinder-shaped minced meat),
pljeskavice (similar to a hamburger), kobasice (a special,
spicy type of sausage for the barbecue), ražnjići (chunks
of meat on a skewer), vešalice (boneless pork loin, cut
lengthwise), chicken liver rolled in strips of bacon, etc.
If you order the Mixed meat, you will get a little of all the
above specialties on one plate. If you order the leskovački
voz (Leskovac Train), you will get the same combination,
but on separate plates that will arrive one by one, so that
the various types of meat stay warm.
ated by numerous old items from country houses. The
portions may be surprisingly large so you should check
with the waiters (dressed in folk costumes) what you
are getting, because if you go as a couple and you
are not ravenously hungry, you may share the main
course to make room for the soup and the dessert.
Be sure to try teletina ispod sača - succulent veal
roasted under an iron bell on coal and ashes. 4Open

town. It offers a standard selection of local specialties,
most of which are delicious, with occasional flops, usually
with predictable menu fillers. You should not miss
fabulous white polenta with kajmak, paired with ćevapi
which is merely adequate. Waiters could use some professional
training. The toilet is not up to the standard the
restaurant aspires to reach. 4Open 08:00 - 24:00. €€.

taste) which start around 23:00. The club sometimes features

Sterija C-2, Pozorišni trg 1. One of the more popular clubs
in town. Located in the building of the Serbian National Theatre,
it is favourite with the actors. In daytime, you can chill out in the
large terrace, but in the evening, the main events take place
inside. There are live performances by local pop and rock bands
almost every night. It does not seem that too much care has
been given to the interior design and the impression is further
marred by a plasma TV hanging on a wall and featuring a local
TV station. It is a universal truth that TV sets in cafés have an
uncanny way of absorbing attention and killing the conversation.

as some social media proof), if you manage to squeeze
inside at the weekend you’re more or less guaranteed to
find the place packed with twenty-something Serbians
dancing (and drinking) the night away. However, if you’re
claustrophobic be aware that it’s not the biggest space
and the ceilings are downright low. If you want a table

Vinyl Club C-2, Laze Telečkog 17, tel. (+381) 21 69
799 766, vinylclubnbar@gmail.com. Although there is in
fact a vinyl motif (including a giant-sized turntable that serves
as a stage/DJ booth), the place is a bit more upscale than
the name would otherwise suggest, with a modern design,
uniformed staff and well-dressed clientele. Set across
three levels, which are roughly divided between a daytime
café on the ground floor, a bar and pub in the middle, and a
restaurant occupying an open loft-like space at the top - the
latter offers some excellent, and reasonably priced food, if
you find yourself craving a snack but don’t want to leave.

French gitan jazz, electro jazz, and even fado and flamenco

Essentials
Downtown - pedestrian zone C-2. The heart of the old
town features almost all must-see attractions in Novi Sad.
The pedestrian zone consists of Zmaj Jovina, Pašićeva,
Svetozara Miletića, Laze Telečkog, part of Dunavska streets,
Katolička porta and Trg slobode squares. The Freedom
Square (Trg slobode) has been the stage for most significant
events, whether cultural or political. It is also the usual
rendezvous point and the man place for feeding fat pigeons.
The square is dominated by two buildings facing one
another: City Hall built in 1895 (an exact copy of the
City Hall in Graz) and the Name of Mary Roman Catholic
Church known as the Cathedral, built in 1895 in the neogothic
style. The square is encircled by the ‘lead soldier’
building from 1909 (dubbed so after the sculpture of an
armoured soldier carrying a halberd, perched on the top of
the building), Bank of Vojvodina building (erstwhile Grand
Hotel Mayer) and the long two-floor building of Vojvodina
Hotel from 1746 (the oldest hotel in town). A monument
to Svetozar Miletić, Novi Sad mayor and a champion of
political rights of the Serbs in the 19th century occupies
the centre of the square.
From there, the pedestrian zone further stretches to Zmaj
Jovina Street, the main promenade and the commercial
centre of the town. The street is lined with numerous openterrace
cafés and pastry shops, favourite with those who
love to sit back and idly watch the world go by. A monument
to Jovan Jovanović Zmaj (Zmaj - Dragon), Serbian doctor
and poet, loved for his nursery rhymes, is at the far end
of the street. He is also known as the author of the first
postcard in the world (sent from Vienna in 1870, featuring
a dragon, what else).
The street ends with the building of the Bishop’s Palace,
which is the see of the Bačka Episcopacy of the Serbian
Orthodox Church (built in 1901), with the Cathedral Church
(Saborna) right behind.
The corner of Zmaj Jovina and Dunavska streets is
the location of the oldest preserved house in Novi Sad
(1720) known as ‘At the White Lion’s’, which nowadays
houses the Irish Pub. Dunavska street, also packed
with shops and cafés, leads towards the Danube Park
and the Danube river. At the beginning of the street, you
What to see
can see one of the pockmarks on the town face - the
cannon ball which remained buried in the building exterior
walls (where it landed during the 1849 shelling of the
town). A characteristic feature of these old streets are
numerous passageways and courtyards concealing many
restaurants, cafés and boutiques, so plunge in and enjoy.
The latest town attraction is the small street of Laze
Telečkog, full of cafés, bars and restaurants.
The green symbol of the town C-2 The living, green
symbol of Novi Sad is the Hackberry (Celtis Australis) tree
located in the promenade zone in Modene street. This 18 m
tall giant has a treetop 22 m in diameter and the perimeter
of the trunk is around 3,5 m. It was protected as a Natural
monument in 1978 due to its biological and outstanding
ambient value.
Štrand C-3, on the Danube bank at the far end of
Bulevar Oslobođenja. Štrand, a lido on the Danube is
the focal point of entertainment for all ages during the hot
summer days. As many as 15,000 people come daily to
the lido: old men playing chess, families enjoying a picnic,
men and women indulging in a bit of dalliance, beach babes
and posers who come to see and be seen, and anyone
looking for good fun in the sun. Set against the background
of a large park with deep shade, this 700m long lido
has regular beach facilities, including toilets, showers,
700 changing booths rented out for the entire season,
security and lifeguard services, emergency paramedics,
several cafés and restaurants. In summer, Štrand hosts
numerous events and sports competitions. You need to
be careful when you swim in the Danube because of its
strong currents that may quickly overtake you if you are
not a good swimmer. The water purity is checked and while
it is safe for swimming, it is not safe to drink, so keep your
mouth closed as you swim. 4Open 08:00 - 24:00, Sat,
Sun 08:00 - 02:00. Admission 40 dinars, free after 22:00.
Petrovaradin Fortress D-2. One of the largest
fortresses in Europe. It was built and rebuilt between 1692
and 1780, its design based on the system of fortification
developed by French Marquis de Vauban. The fortress
covers an area of 112 hectares, and has 13 gates and
16km of underground passages spread over 4 levels.
Owing to its size, thick walls and 400 cannons, it was
considered unconquerable and earned the name of the
‘Gibraltar on the Danube’. The erstwhile barracks and
underground passages are nowadays converted into the

36 What to see
premises of the Museum of the City and numerous art
ateliers, galleries, and artisan workshops. The terrace of
the fortress, by the Clock Tower, boasts splendid views
of the town.
The clock on the Tower is unique in that the big hand tells
hours and the small one minutes. This was allegedly done
so that the boatmen travelling on the Danube could see
the time from a long distance. The clock is slow when it
is cold and fast when it is hot, so people have dubbed it a
‘drunken clock’. The fortress features several restaurants
and night clubs and it is famous for EXIT - the best music
festival in Europe 2007. Were it not for the scarcity of
garbage bins and rather random park cleaning service, it
would have been perfect.
You may get to the top plateau of the fortress by car,
just follow the signs for Leopold Hotel. If on your way up
you should see a lonely vehicle and some commotion
inside, don’t worry, with the crime rate so small as in Novi
Sad, that must be an amorous couple, but give it a wide
berth anyway. The long arched passage is too narrow
for two-way traffic, so do follow the instructions by the
officers placed at its ends, who communicate the arrival
of vehicles to one another over the radio set. You can get
to the fortress by bus Nº3, taxi, or take a leisurely walk,
because it is not too far.
The bridges The first temporary pontoon bridge was
erected in 16 century by Turkish army, before that inhabitants
and soldiers had used ferry boat to cross the river Danube.
First permanent, iron bridge named Franz Joseph, designed
by Karl Baumann, was built in 1883. The remains of this
bridge can still be seen.
Novi Sad bridges were demolished and rebuilt couple of
times during city’s history. There are three bridges that
connect the Danube banks today: Varadin bridge, Raillway
and Liberty bridge.
Jewish Novi Sad
Novi Sad’s beach on the Danube is the place to be during the warmer months of the year
Jewish community Novi Sad B-2, Jevrejska 11,
tel. 42 38 82. The Jewish community of Novi Sad was
allowed to build its first synagogue in the early 18th
century. The local Jewish community belonged culturally
to the Hungarian Jewry. Only about a quarter of the more
than 4,000 Jews of Novi Sad survived the Holocaust
that followed the German invasion of Yugoslavia in
1941 and the annexation of Novi Sad to Hungary. Over
800 Jews of Novi Sad - men, women and children of all
ages - were murdered during massacres conducted by
the Hungarian police against Jews and Serbs in January
1942. In May 1944, the synagogue of Novi Sad served as
an arrest house for the Jews of Novi Sad and it was from
there that they were deported to the Nazi extermination
camps. The synagogue was consecrated again in 1945
when it became the focal point of the revived Jewish life
in the city. The Jewish population of Novi Sad dwindled
further as many members of the local community chose
to immigrate to Israel and other countries in the 1950’s.
There were an estimated 400 Jews in Novi Sad in the
early years of the 21st century.
Synagogue B-2, Jevrejska 11. One of Novi Sad
landmarks This impressive building in the style of
Hungarian secession was completed in 1909. As the
Jewish community no longer could support the costs
of maintenance, in 1991 it was leased to the city for
a period of twenty five years. Taking advantage of the
fine acoustics of the synagogue building, the city, having
restored the interior, decided to use it as a concert hall for
classic and other music events. The Jewish community,
nevertheless, is able use the synagogue whenever it
wishes, as they do each year, for celebrating major
Jewish holidays.

Fruška Gora Mountain. Fruška Gora mountain
stretches over the southern border of the Panonia plain
except a small western section which lies Croatia. Its
highest peak is „Crveni čot“ at 539 m. This is a natural
habitat of rare animals and herbs, a large part of it
was declared National park in 1960. During the Roman
time, Emperor Probus brought the wine grapes to the
Fruška Gora. Since than, the Fruška Gora slopes have
well suited for grapes and there are many wine makers.
The best sorts of wines are Riesling, Traminer and
Bermet . Fruška Gora is close to Novi Sad (20 minutes
drive), but far enough so visitors can enjoy and rest
in the beautiful surroundings. This „small mountain“
also offers artificial lakes, mountain paths (800 km
marked trails), two health paths (Popovica 3,5 km &
Stražilovo 4 km), historical monuments, monasteries ...
The hospitable environment of Fruška Gora made
possible 35 Serbian Orthodox monasteries to be
built. Unfortunately, only 16 monasteries are still
active. Tourist information centre of the Fruška Gora
National park is located at Iriški venac, right next to
monument, providing info, guide services and gift
shop. Work days: every day, except Monday.
Fruška Gora monasteries Many legends
are associated with foundation of monasteries.
According to the first written document they
were founded from the15 to the 18 century as
an endowment of Serbian despots. They are the
Keepers of the identity of Serbian people. The
tample, small church (some of them), bell tower,
sleeping quarters, farm buildings and cultivable soil
are a part of a monastery complex. Monasteries are:
Krušedol, Grgeteg, Velika Remeta, Novo Hopovo,
Staro Hopovo, Ravanica, Jazak, Mala Remeta,
Rakovac, Beočin, Šišatovac, Petkovica, Kuveždin,
Divša, Privina Glava, Bešenovo.
Notable persons from Serbian history lie buried
in Krušedol Monastery: Despot Đurađ Branković,
King Milan Obrenović, Princess Ljubica, Patriarch
Arsenije III Čarnojević... Most of the monasteries
were ravaged and looted during the 2nd World War
and they enjoy UNESCO protection (wich did not stop
Nato forces from damaging six monasteries in the
1999 air campaign against Serbia).
Sremski Karlovci. A small town on the Danube
bank, some 6km away from Novi Sad. It is rightly
called a town-museum, due to its remarkably
preserved town nucleus in the baroque style, dating
from the 18th and 19th centuries. You can make a
tour of all the attractions on foot. The first mention of
this settlement dates back from 1308. In 1713, when
the see of the Orthodox Metropolitan Bishop moved
to Karlovci, it became the spiritual and cultural
centre of Serbs in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The first Serbian grammar school opened in Karlovci
in 1791 and still is functional. You can also see the
Patriarchal Palace (displaying artefacts from the
treasury of the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox
Church) orthodox churches (Cathedral, Lower and
Upper Churches), a Roman Catholic church, Museum
www.inyourpocket.com
What to see
Practically within walking distance of Novi Sad, the
village of Sremski Karlovci is packed with sights
of the City, City Hall (Magistrat) from whose balcony
Serbian Vojvodina was declared in 1848, a pharmacy
in Straser house (from early 19th century, still
functioning), ‘Four Lions’ fountain (the legend says
that whoever drinks from the fountain will come back
to Sremski Karlovci some day).
By all means visit the museum of honey and sample
wines in wine cellars. Sremski Karlovci is famous for
its authentic liqueur wine, Bermet, rumoured to have
been enjoyed by those on the Titanic.

Salaši
Originating from the Hungarian word Szallas, which
translates most directly to ‘accommodation’ in English,
the Salaši found in the countryside around Novi Sad
are akin to ranches, farmsteads or tourist farms in
other countries. Concentrated near the village of Čenej,
there are currently over a dozen or so of these unique
attractions, with more expected to gradually open their
doors over the coming years. Each of the estates offers
a slightly different take on a similar theme, ranging from
horse clubs and wedding venues to hands-on farm work
and panoramic flight. One thing they all have in common
is traditionally prepared cuisine, and most also offer
some type of accommodation. in general it always best
to call ahead and make reservations, or engage a local
travel agent to do so.
Brkin Salaš Međunarodni put 312, tel. (+381)
64 837 70 18. Also located on the main road through
Čenej some 17km north of Novi Sad, Brkin has roots
dating back to the early 20th century and is one of
the only still fully functioning family farms in the area.
It’s name, which comes from Brka or moustache in
Serbian, is an homage to the original owner, Arsen
Miodragović, who had a legendary swath of thick bushy
hair on his upper lip. It was Miodragović’s grandson
who sold the farm to the family that currently operates
it in 2005, under the condition that they maintain the
rural farming traditions and ‘never let the farmstead’s
chimneys be extinguished’. True to their word, the Matic
family - Nataša, Goran and their three children - have
developed the salaš into the perfect place for visitors to
experience so-called ethno and eco tourism in its most
ideal form. In addition to a good sized indoor dining area
and terrace that can accommodate some 50 people
for lunch or dinner, there are a couple of traditionally
furnished rooms available for overnight stays in part
of the family’s own home, and they’ve recently added
a couple more basic rooms with a shared bathroom
in a separate building. Reservations in advanced are
required, and Goran speaks English more or less fluently.
Naš Salaš Međunarodni put 325, tel. (+381)
21 714 704. We can say with a certain amount of
confidence that this is the only Salaš (or tourist farm,
traditional restaurant or ranch of any kind in the world)
that also custom builds airworthy replicas of Luftwaffe
reconnaissance planes. The model in question is the
Storch, which can take up to a couple months to build
and sells for the equivalent of a decent annual salary
in western Europe. The plane’s unique design allows it
to take off at a speed of only 35 km/hr, which it needs
only 20m of runway to reach. The salaš itself is quite
new, and the high steeply sloping roof of the main dining
area and all wood interior gives it almost an alpine
appearance - it also helps that the entire property is
covered in tall evergreen trees. The meals are as hearty
and delicious as one would expect, and the flow of rakija
and local wines continues to the early morning at the
weekends. There are also two newly built bungalows for
overnight stays, which are almost scale models of the
main building and can sleep up to four people. Panoramic
flights of the entire region can also be arranged at the
nearby airfield, although the planes used are larger and
more comfortable Censnas rather than the WWII-era spy
planes built out back.4Open Mon-Thur 10:00-23:00,
Fri-Sun 10:00-01:00.
Salaš 137 Međunarodni put 137, tel. (+381) 21
714 497. Situated on an almost regal estate at the end
of a treelined drive, Salaš 137 is by far the best organised
and most professionally run of all the tourist farms in
the countryside surrounding Novi Sad, and also offers
the most to see an do. Other than the gorgeously kept
estate itself, the main attraction here, or at least the
one most frequented by locals and tourists alike, is the
traditional Serbian restaurant, which serves many dishes
that cannot be found elsewhere (at least not prepared this
well). The dining areas are could also well be considered
as mini ethnological museums, as the walls, shelves and
cupboards are packed with various rural bric-a-brac. In
a separate building there are 13 spacious rooms for
hire, all individually designed in an old German style, but
equipped with modern bathrooms and extras such as TVs
and stereos, and there’s even an onsite sauna. For horse
lovers, there is also a stable with some two dozen of the
majestic creatures, and the numerous other activities
available to guests include wine tastings, hunting trips,
golf lessons, archery, volleyball, horse-drawn carriage
rides and much more.4Reservations required. Restaurant
closed on Mondays.
Cvejin Salaš Nikole Tesle 2, tel. (+381) 21 898
045. If you aren’t fortunate enough to have your own
Serbian grandparents, perhaps the closest you will
ever get is a visit to the farmhouse of Zvonimirka and
Aleksandar Cvejić in the village of Begeč some 18km
to the west of Novi Sad. The incredibly cute pair are
actually brother and sister, and their Salaš is one of the
quaintest and friendliest we’ve ever had the pleasure of
visiting. Although awarding any individual in Serbia the
title of Best Cook is a fool’s errand, the dishes that come
out of Zvonimirka’s kitchen are about as highly regarded
as they come, and tucking into one of her meals should
be a priority for anyone who has an appreciation for
perfectly prepared food. While his sister is in the kitchen,
Aleksandar can likely be found puttering around the
property: mowing the lawn, trimming the lavander bushes
or feeding some of the many domestic animals. The farm
is quite popular with visitors from all over Europe and it’s
not uncommon for large groups of cyclists, hunters or
festival goers to hire the the whole place for several days
at a time, staying in one of the well-worn but comfortable
rooms or pitching a tent outside.

Taxis
Avoid taxi drivers that do not belong to any taxi company
(their taxi roof signs display only ‘taxi’ without stating a
company name), who usually hang around the Railway
station and accost travellers. They will overcharge you
either by negotiating an exorbitant fare or using a fast
meter. Inside the taxi, the price list and ID card of the
driver must be in clear view. Your fare is shown on the
meter. Taxi fare in Novi Sad is quite easy on the pocket:
there is a start-up fee of 25-35 dinars and the rate per
kilometre is 40 dinars. There is a luggage charge of 10
dinars per piece. You can ask the taxi driver about the
hotels, restaurants, or indeed anything you would like to
know about the city or local politics. Most taxi drivers are
smokers, but you can request a non-smoking vehicle or
simply ask the driver to extinguish the cigarette.

Car parks
The central part of the town is divided into two parking zones:
red and blue. You can pay for parking either by filling out a
parking coupon or sending an SMS message. The parking
is limited to two hours in the red zone (that means that you
first pay for the initial hour and on its expiry, pay again), whilst
in the blue zone there are no parking limits (you extend the
parking on the hour). If you use the parking coupon, you
should scratch the relevant fields for the year, month, day,
hour and minute of the beginning of parking session and
display the coupon on the inside of the windscreen. For
SMS: send an SMS message with the number of the licence
plates (no space, capital letters) to 8211 for the red zone and
8212 for the blue zone. The price of one hour of parking is
20 dinars. Parking at the Štrand beach can also be paid by
SMS sent to number 8213.
Public transport
Public transport in Novi Sad is fairly quick and reliable. It is
comprised only of buses, whose schedule depends on the
line, but most buses run at 10 to 15 minute intervals from
04:30 do 24:00. There are only single-ride tickets, which you

31 99. Serbian railways are in poor repair, as a result of a
long-lasting economic crisis. Railway carriages are very old
and the train speed does not exceed 80km/h. Delays and
inexplicable stoppage occur with maddening regularity, so
if you want to travel round the country in relative speed and
comfort, go for long distance buses. Those who love trains
should not miss a ride on Šargan Eight (a narrow gauge
heritage railway offering one of the most picturesque routes
in the world). Tickets for regular local and international lines
are available at Railway Station.
Buses
Bus services account for the bulk of domestic passenger
traffic in Serbia. There are buses for big towns running at
frequent intervals throughout the day. Novi Sad has two
bus stations for international travel. Where you will end up
depends on your bus operator. The Central Bus Station
Sad is well linked to all parts of the town through the public
transport network.

Arriving…
By car
Belgrade lies at the intersection of the E-70 and E-75
motorways. You cannot miss the city, since the motorway
runs close to the centre, a ring-road still being under
construction. The speed limit in the city is set at 60 km/h
unless otherwise indicated by speed signs.
By train
The Central Railway Station is located near the Old Town.
Beside the Central Bus Station, this is probably the only
place in town where you should beware of pickpockets. The
station offers exchange offices, ATMs, left luggage office,
and a tourist info centre. When you exit the station, ignore
the taxi sharks and hail one a little down the street, if you
should so wish. There is a tram stop outside the station
building, and line N°2, which circles around Old Town, may
be the most convenient. Purchase your fare at a kiosk or
on board (29 or 40 dinars respectively). If the prospect of a
steep 300m climb does not seem too daunting, you can walk
up Balkanska Street and reach the heart of the city - Terazije.
By bus
The Central Bus Station sits next to the Central Railway
Station, so the same warnings about pickpockets and taxi
crooks apply here. The same goes for the info on how to get to
the city centre. The station features exchange offices, ATMs
and left luggage office. You can find a tourist info centre at
the neighbouring railway station.

Sightseeing
Belgrade fortress Located on a hill overlooking the
confluence of the Sava River and the Danube. The Romans
were the first to build a fort (castrum) on this site and in
the late 1st century AD, it became the HQ of the IV Flavian
Legion. Over the centuries of sieges, battles and conquests,
the fortress was repeatedly razed to the ground, rebuilt
and restructured. It took on its present shape round the
end of the 18th century, but again, the wars that followed
destroyed nearly all the buildings. The Belgrade Fortress
consists of Upper Town, Lower Town and Kalemegdan
Park. Kalemegdan Park was created as late as the 19th
century on a plateau in front of the fortress, which was
cleared for centuries to allow for an unobstructed view of
the advancing enemy. The park is popular because of its
many shaded benches, random sculptures, an art pavilion,
zoo, amusement park and souvenir vendors. It is a favourite
haunt for chess players, squirrels and couples in love.
Knez Mihailova Street The main promenade and
shopping zone. A pedestrian area, it stretches between
Terazije and Kalemegdan Park. It is named after Prince
Mihailo Obrenović, the most enlightened ruler of modern
Serbia and the younger son of Prince Miloš. He came
to the throne after his father’s death in 1860 and was
assassinated during a stroll through Košutnjak Park in
1868. Buildings and mansions erected in the late 19th
century adorn the street.
Skadarlija Skadarska Street. A vintage street that dates
from the late 19th century. This steep cobbled area is
dotted with famous Belgrade taverns: Dva jelena (The Two
Deers), Tri šešira (The Three Hats), Dva bela goluba (The
Two White Pigeons), Zlatni bokal (The Golden Jug), Ima
dana (There’s Time), Šešir moj (This Hat of Mine), galleries,
antiques and souvenir shops. In the early 20th century,
it became a hub for the arts and artists in Belgrade, a
bohemian quarter drawing poets, journalists, painters,
and actors. Today, its guests are mostly tourists whose
presence accounts for the higher prices and removal
of many authentic Serbian dishes from the menus. The
evening is the best time for a visit, when live traditional
Serbian music spills from all tavern doors. The great
atmosphere will take your attention away from run of the
mill food and indifferent waiters.
