- Petrovaradin Fortress - From the Petrovaradin Fortress, which awaits us, proudly standing on the edge of the Danube riverbank, you will have an unforgettable view of the entire city of Novi Sad. Centuries ago, the fortress marked the border between east and west, between two great empires, and its underground tunnels still hold many secrets. Today, one of Europe’s largest music festivals, “Exit,” takes place within its strong walls.
- Novi Sad - Strolling through the oldest streets of Novi Sad, admiring magnificent baroque, classical, and Neo-gothic buildings with colorful facades, you will fall in love with its graceful atmosphere and its inhabitants, who, even in this era of fast communications, have preserved their tranquility and natural kindness. Imagine how they persuaded Empress Maria Theresa to sell them the city for 80,000 Hungarian forints! Since then, it has been a cultural center for Serbians for a long time, still called “Serbian Athens.”
Pause for a traditional lunch is planned around 1 pm (own expense).
- Fruska Gora National Park - As a quiet guardian of the city and the entire region, Fruska Gora Mountain, which rose as an island from the vast Pannonian Sea in distant prehistory, is today the oldest national park in Serbia. While enjoying the landscapes of its beautiful slopes, we will visit New Hopovo, one of the most important Orthodox monasteries on the mountain. Deeper in the forest, we’ll find a monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Second World War, symbolically called – The Freedom.
- Sremski Karlovci - Following the traces of the greatest migration of the Serbian people from the end of the 17th century, we’ll arrive in Sremski Karlovci. Walking around the oldest high school in Serbia, the famous fountain “4 lions,” and the Orthodox cathedral, we’ll solve the riddle: What is the other Sun, which the people of this irresistible small town claim to have?
At the end of this exciting adventure, we will visit a local wine cellar where, besides various high-quality wines, you will have a unique opportunity to try Bermet, a dessert, spicy wine made only in this region. The red one was a favorite drink of Empress Maria Theresa, and legend says it was sold on the Titanic as well!
