Serbia´s second-largest city, about an hour north of capital Belgrade, was founded in 1694 on the banks of the Danube River and is youthful and dynamic feeling, with an ancient fortress and charming old town, lively café culture, Štrand riverside beach, and nearby Fruška Gora National Park. Landmarks not to miss: Petrovaradin Fortress (Europe's second largest, begun in the late 17th century) and a number of fine Catholic and Orthodox churches as well as a majestic Art Nouveau synagogue built in 1909. On the cultural side, "the Athens of Serbia" is already a vibrant hub thanks to its wide variety of museums and art galleries but also its progressive vibe, alt music scene, and July's Exit music festival (held this year on the 7th-10th). This year's Novi Sad 2022 will leverage all that as well as break new ground, bringing in more than 400 artists in various disciplines from across Serbia and Europe to mount exhibitions, concerts, stage productions, and various other spectacles from traditional to avant garde.
