On inyourpocket.com
In Your Pocket guides have been online, in full,
since 1995, and our company has continually
been at the cutting edge of internet development.
The first travel publisher to offer free PDF guides
(back in 2002) you can now download our entire
range of travel guidebooks - for free and in full -
from our website, inyourpocket.com. More than
20,000 PDFs are downloaded each month, while
the site as a whole regularly attracts more than
250,000 visitors per month.
Getting involved
A year or so ago In Your Pocket took the inte-
ractive plunge and began allowing readers to post
comments under our own reviews. The response
has been incredible, nowhere more so than in Riga,
where the famous rip-off joint Lord Pub has garne-
red so many comments from angry readers that
at one stage earlier this year our system couldn’t
cope: we had to reconfigure it to accommodate
all the feedback. All of our venues - and most
of our features - are now open forums ready for
your comments. If you have something to say on
Warsaw’s raunchiest nightlife venues, say it at
inyourpocket.com. If you want to flaunt your Cor-
nish nationalist credentials, do it at inyourpocket.
com. Our local editors are encouraged to reply to
comments and make a point of taking on board
what our readers are telling us. While we vet all
comments before publication, if you provide a
valid email address we usually approve the vast
majority, no matter how vitriolic or controversial.
So if you’ve been ripped off, or simply enjoyed
terrific service, let everyone know. If you want to
contact us direct, you can do so at readersmail@
inyourpocket.com.
Online exclusives
The number of pages in our print guides is limited...
our website has no such boundaries. As such
we are able to publish huge amounts of original
content that would otherwise not make it into the
public domain. Visit inyourpocket.com and check
out our features on famous locals, scams, upco-
ming concerts and exhibitions, as well as making
full use of our Business and Lifestyle Directories:
often the most up-to-date and reliable directories
in your city, in any language.
Foreword 5
Press Box
“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 advi-
ce 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
“inyourpocket.com (IYP) is one of the web’s
best travel resources.”
The Guardian
“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 web-
site 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
“In Your Pocket guides are each guide is
written by an English language writer. All in-
formation is also available on the publisher’s
website.”
Sueddeutsche Zeitung
“The In Your Pocket series of guide booklets
have turned out to be highly useful in avoiding
tourist traps and other travel hazards. The
bimonthly, English-language series of small
guides are a mix of Lonely Planet and Time
Out, and have become a European publishing
phenomenon.”
International Herald Tribune

6 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 car
E-75 motorway runs close to Novi Sad, and E-70 motorway
is 70km further down towards Belgrade. Foreign drivers in

certificate, and insurance policy. The valid insurance policies

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..
Important phone numbers
Police: 92
Fire Department: 93
Ambulance: 94
Road assistance: 987
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.

Population
Serbia (2002, without Kosovo and Metohija province)
7,498,001, Novi Sad (2002) 298,139. Ethnic composition
(2002, without Kosovo and Metohija province): Serbs
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.
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.
Geography
Serbia covers an area of 88,361km2. It has land borders
with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Romania,
Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro. The
highest peak is Midžor (2169m) on Old Mountain (Stara
planina). The Danube flows 588km through Serbia, the
Sava River 206km, and the Drina River forms most of the
border to the West (220km). Another important Serbian
river is Great Morava (185km), created by the confluence
of Western Morava (308km) and Southern Morava (295km).

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 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
In Novi Sad, coffee and cigarettes are generally considered
a perfect way to start the day, so it is small wonder that
smoking is allowed in all restaurants and cafés. The problem
here is how to find a place with a non-smoking area. Smoking
is outlawed only in public premises (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,

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

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.

1999 Long-lasting aspirations of Kosovo Albanians to
secede from Serbia escalate in violent conflicts between
Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo. The NATO forces bomb
Serbia for three months, without endorsement of the UN
Security Council. Slobodan Milošević is accused of crimes
against humanity 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. Žeželj Bridge, the first
bridge made of prestressed concrete in Europe, the second
in the world, takes direct hits on four different days, before
it finally collapses into the water, hit again by six missiles.
Residential areas are cluster bombed several times while its
oil refinery is bombarded daily, causing severe pollution and
widespread ecological damage. The bombing of the refinery
causes fires which burn 50,000 tons of crude oil, enveloping
Novi Sad in black smoke
20 0 0 Sl ob odan Mil oševi ć is ousted amidst h u ge
demonstrations over electoral fraud. Relations with European
countries and the US improve.
2003 Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is replaced by State
Union of Serbia and Montenegro. Serbian Prime Minister,
Zoran Đinđić, is assassinated by a criminal clan. The
clearance of the debris, the remains of the bridges destroyed
during the NATO strikes, is completed and the Danube again
becomes navigable.
2004 Before the eyes of NATO and UN forces, around
50,000 Albanians launch orchestrated attacks on remaining
Serbian villages in Kosovo and torch Serbian houses. In less
than 48 hours, Albanians desecrate and destroy 30 Serbian
churches and monasteries.
2006 State Union of Serbia and Montenegro ceases to exist.
Serbia is again an independent state.
2007 Negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo Albanians
about the status of Kosovo. Serbia is offering broad
autonomy, Albanians desire nothing less than independence.
The international community is divided over this issue.
2008 With support of the USA and some of the EU countries,
July - December 2009
10 HISTORY
Albanians from Kosovo and Metohija province of Serbia
declare independence from Serbia. The international
community is still divided over this issue - some countries
have recognised Kosovo independence, some are against
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.

Josip Broz Tito

Tito is a mystery man who ruled
supreme over Yugoslavia for
35 years. Secretary General
of the Communist Party of
Yugoslavia, leader of one of
two resistance movements
during WW2, life-long president
of Yugoslavia and founder
of Non-Aligned Movement.
German occupation of Serbia
and the flight of the King and
the Government from the
country played neatly to his
advantage, as he prepared
the way for a communist rule during the anti-fascist
struggle. In the aftermath of the war, he banned the
King from returning to the country and lived his life
regally. A charmer and womaniser, a hedonist of
sophisticated tastes, he was a darling to the proletariat,
Hollywood stars, communist dictators and European
aristocracy alike. Churchill himself, who cordially
detested communists, sipped his breakfast bubbly
with him. Unlike other countries of the eastern bloc,
Yugoslavia was never behind the “iron curtain”. Tito
defied Stalin’s directives and decided that it would best
suit Yugoslavia to pursue its own socialist model. In
response, Stalin kicked Yugoslavia out of the socialist
camp, and imposed economic boycott. Several years
later, Nikita Khrushchev, Stalin’s successor in the Soviet
Union, visited Tito in Belgrade and penitently asked for
reconciliation. Khrushchev was stunned by lavish soirées
and the lifestyle at White Palace. Yugoslavia fostered
good relations with all the countries in the world and
Yugoslavs had the best of the two worlds and travelled
freely worldwide, which made them the envy of eastern
bloc countries. Tito’s funeral drew the largest number of
statesmen in history (from 127 different nations). It also BGinfoBox
marked the beginning of the collapse of Yugoslavia. Živojina Žujovića 24, Tel. +381 11 38 300 50

 Culture & Events
EXIT Festival
July 9-12
Petrovaradin fortress – Novi Sad
EXIT festival takes place in Novi Sad every July. The tenth Exit
festival will once again be held at the magical Petrovaradin
fortress. The first Exit festival, organized by students from
Novi Sad, lasted 100 days and during that period, 34 large
concerts were held featuring the biggest local bands, 12
theatrical performances, more than 120 films were shown
(some were premiered in Novi Sad), 20 stands, 40 huge
parties, 11 performances were held. And then everything
changed. Two years ago Exit won UK Festival Award:
Best Festival on the Continent. MTV and BBC Radio have
traditionally supported the festival from 2004. Number of
visitors increases each year and now more than 50 000
people visit the festival every day.
The fortress offers top-level acoustic enabling different events
to be really near to each other without sound mixing.
Useful Info
Tickets for 10th Exit festival are available at www.gigstix.
com, Gigstix selling points and branch offices of Erste bank.
Purchased ticket cannot be returned, and in case you lose
it or forget to take with you, entrance to the fortress will not
11
be allowed. Beverages, food (since available at the festival),
umbrellas, pets, narcotics or weapons are not allowed,
while backpacks (maximum the size of a school backpack)
are ok. The gates open at 5 p.m., the entrance is available
until 3 a.m., and only one entrance per day is allowed. Cars
are not allowed, so most visitors cross the Danube bridge
on foot. If transport of your choice is a taxi or a bus (No 3),
it will take you just after the bridge, and then you have to
continue on foot.
No phone boots or places to leave your things are available
at the festival, so take only the necessary. On the other hand,
ATM machines and numerous information points are at your
disposal. Pipe water is not for drinking, and cameras and
photo cameras are allowed only with press accreditation.
Thirsty? Change your money into Tokens, State of Exit’s
official currency, and then exchange them for food or drinks.
Each of the Token coins is worth the amount of a certain
drink, cannot be exchanged back to dinars. To buy food
or other items on the festival site you can use the local
currency of dinars.
Line up and the performance times are subject to change.
Exit has 28 stages with more than 600 performers, and the
unforeseen may occur.
Stages
28 stages in total and 7 largest. The heart of Exit and largest
of the stages is the Main Stage, with the capacity of 35 000
people. Dance Arena, on several occasions proclaimed best
dance arena in the whole of Europe, is second in size and
has the capacity of 25 000 people. Exclusive line-up, back-

There have been some amazing changes over the last
two decades. In the early 90’s there was the Yugoslav
war, which ended with Serbia virtually isolated as one
country after another declared its independence from the
Yugoslav Republic. Then in 1999, the city was bombed
by NATO in an attempt to destabilize the Milosevic
government. After three months of shelling, much of the
city’s infrastructure was destroyed, including all three of
its bridges across the Danube.
Returning to Novi Sad in 2001 after 4 years away, what
struck me most was the impact these events had had
on the mood of the city. It seemed as if the younger

I’ve seen more change in Novi Sad over the last few years
than in all of the previous thirty. As long as I’ve been going
there, it has always struck me as a ‘young’ city, full of
smart, independent people who loved their music, even
if they had to wait a few years to get their hands on what
we were listening to in the West. Now - firmly established
at the centre of the European festival scene - Novi Sad is
tapping out a beat that the rest of Europe dances to.

salads, ham, and sausages served on a wooden platter.
Be sure to try the čekić (hammer) - a bite-size prune stuffed
with aromatic cheese and wrapped in grilled bacon. Ideally,
the ‘hammer’ should be followed by the chicken soup with
homemade noodles (made and cut by hand), after which you
can stretch your legs by taking a leisurely walk around the
compound until the main course arrives (nobody will touch
anything left on your table during your walk). We recommend
you try the stuffed zucchini or the smoked knuckle of
pork topped with horseradish and spices and baked in an
earthenware pot until golden-brown. One of the various types
of sweets on offer and a cup of freshly prepared Serbian
coffee would be a perfect way to end a perfect lunch. The
philosophy behind this type of cuisine is to be able to relish
good food and local wine without having to think about
calories and every-day responsibilities. During the summer
the cool shade of the walnut tree makes a perfect place for
eating outdoors.

If numerous work-related responsibilities have kept you from

spending quality time with your children during the course of
the week, this is the perfect opportunity to redeem yourself.
You will be able to spend an entire day with them, watching
them run after a ball in the estate or joining them in the game.
The entire compound is surrounded by fields that children
don’t generally find very interesting, so you won’t have to
worry about letting them out of your sight. However, if you
Salaš, an isolated village estate surrounded by avenues
of trees protecting the backyard from wind and separating
it from the fields around it, is just the place for you if you
ever need to escape the hustle and bustle of the city or are
simply in search of a peaceful setting. There the air is fresh,
the food healthy, the atmosphere laid back and the only
noise you can hear is the one made by the birds. A group
of about 400 salaš estates is located in the area of Čenej
village. The salaš we wish to cover at present is the one
called Salaš 137. It offers an authentic experience of life in
the country (with agricultural land surrounding the estate, as
well as farm animals). Houses on a typical salaš are packed
with old furniture, antique movables and other interesting
items decorating the colourful walls. It is the ideal place
for incurable romantics and hedonists, and since it can get
pretty crowded on weekends, it would be wise to call ahead
of time and reserve a table, accommodation even better (of
course, if in the offer).

On the salaš estates ‘slow food’ has always been ‘in’, so the
Salaš 137 restaurant offers specialties of the local Vojvodina
cuisine, prepared and served in this style. Before start the
meal you need to indulge yourself with aperitifs in the form
of local quince rakija (brandy) and then, while enjoying the
company of friends, nibble on a variety of cheeses, pies,

should doze off after lunch and lose sight of them, you are
most likely to find them in the stable with various domestic
animals. You may also bring your dog along to this salaš
since boarding is offered (for both dogs and cats). If it’s well
behaved, minds its own business and keeps away from the
plates of other guests, he will be allowed to run around the
yard freely.
As to other adult activities available, archery might be an
interesting sport to try out, whereas golf enthusiasts can
practice their tee shot. You can also take a ride around the
neighbourhood in a horse-drawn carriage or learn horseback
riding. More experienced riders have over 20 horses at
their disposal for recreational riding. This salaš also offers
a playground for children, a mini-football field, volleyball and
badminton, a small gym, sauna, and a massage service.
You can purchase interesting souvenirs at the 24-hour
open reception.
Salaš 137 has a total of 14 rooms equipped with old,
authentic furniture loaded with romantic scent. Each room
has a bathroom, TV set and a CD player. Some rooms
feature queen-size beds, and others have separate single
beds. Rooms do not include air conditioning, which in truth is
unnecessary due to the shade provided by the trees, as well
as the thick walls, and the bathrooms have large bathtubs
perfect for keeping you cool and refreshed in hot summer
days. It can be a long wait to get a room on a weekend,
whereas on weekdays a room is much easier to book. If you
plan on spending the night at the salaš, it is advised that you
inform the owners about this before your arrival.
For those who wish to use this beautiful and relaxing
ambiance to lure their business partners into a deal, Salaš
137 offers a conference room, and there is also the option of
renting the entire compound, which is fully covered with a Wi-
Fi signal. In addition, if you like, and if previously arranged, the
salaš staff can take you on a hunting trip Salaš and being a
branch of the Safari Club International, a hunting organisation
salaš 137 25
operating in 37 countries, great attention is given to wildlife
conservation and outdoor education..
Salaš 137 is only 15 minutes’ drive from Novi Sad. Its
proximity makes it a tempting option for travellers who
cannot find any place to stay in Novi Sad, or those who prefer
the country ambiance, away from the hustle and bustle of
the city. The road from Novi Sad to Salaš 137 is a local road
called Međunarodni put (International) which will take you
directly to Salaš 137, with no turnings. If you are not sure
whether you are on the right track, ask any passer-by for
the road to Čenej. When you see a sign indicating a left-hand
turn to Čenej whilst on your way from Novi Sad, you should
slow down because you will soon see a wooden sign on
your right that says ‘Salaš 137’, as well as a small road that
leads to the estate.
Feel the authentic farmhouse life, enjoy the experience of the
traditional Vojvodina cuisine and enjoy the nature.

The range of accommodation on offer in Novi Sad is fairly
broad and will fit every budget. Most rooms are good value for
the money, but note that most hotels will double their rates
during the International Agricultural Fair in May and the famed
EXIT Festival. Serbia is still a heaven for smokers and non-
smokers will be hard pressed to find non-smoking rooms.

S erbian cuisin e is a re fl e c tion o f th e histori cal
circumstances this countr y 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.
Asian
Orhideja D-2, Petrovaradin Fortress. The only place in
town serving sushi. The menu features specialties from
India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines

Dva štapića B-3, Cara Lazara 7a, tel. 45 95 24. A small
and simply decorated restaurant featuring Chinese fast
food. Although not exactly suited for romantic dinners, it
is a great place to grab something to eat after a long walk
or a shopping spree. It is interesting because it offers
some dishes that are not usually found on the menus
of Chinese restaurants in Europe and because you can
watch Chinese cooks preparing your meal. Good and fast

Arhiv C-2, Ilije Ognjanovića 16, tel. 472 21 76. One
of the best restaurants in town, housed in the basement
of a downtown building. A combination of wood and
brick punctuated with wrought-iron details provides for
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 to the restaurant we can think of is
that the over-zealous waiters would sometimes bring the
main course before you have had the time to fully savour
the hors d’oeuvre. 4Open 09:00 - 23:00, Closed Sun. €€€.

service is excellent and the food is good and varied, the
bread is made in-house, but pizzas are a bit of a flop. Meat
lovers will be delighted with the T-bone steak. Strangely

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.
designed to look retro, it looks exactly as it did 50 years
ago, only shabbier. The staff is polite, if a little slow,
providing a fitting complement to the ambiance. The menu

mushrooms, as well as a fresh vegetable salad. 4Open

Savoury local specialties, some of which cannot be
found anywhere else. The interior, with its stone walls
and massive wooden tables is reminiscent of a dim
lit mountain lodge. The rustic décor is punctuated 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

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 neo-gothic 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 open-
terrace 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).
What to see 37
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 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
July - December 2009
38 What to see
erstwhile barracks and underground passages are nowadays
converted into the 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
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.

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

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,

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

directly, and to make a call to another area, dial
the relevant area code first. To call abroad, dial the
international access code (99), followed by the country
code, the area code and the phone number. When you

Taxis Train Schedule

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

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.
