About this experience
Novi Sad is the secret jewel of Serbia. This town is the perfect stop for someone looking for a break from the stress of the big city and in need for some fresh air and nice strolls. Sometimes called the ”Athens of Serbia”, Novi Sad is not lacking anything to rise to its nickname: a tumultuous history, the love for arts and festivals, a cool vibe and the pleasure of life. Declared as the European Youth Capital in 2019, the city will be the first Non EU city that will receive the title of European Capital of Culture in 2021. Join our private walking tour and learn and see why Novi Sad is a must for every traveller visiting Serbia: the Freedom Square with its landmark buildings like the Town Hall and the Name of Mary Church; the Bishop's Palace and its mixture of Romanticism and Secession styles; the Danube street filled with restaurants and cafes; the local Synagogue and its turbulent history; the famous fortress Petrovaradin, also called the ”Gibraltar on the Danube” and many more.
