NOVI SAD - In Your Pocket

Historic Churches
When you visit churches and other religious buildings,
you are expected to behave respectfully and speak
quietly. Churches are open throughout the day and
you can enter even during a service, but try not to
interrupt it or draw attention to yourself. You are not
allowed to enter wearing shorts, flip-flops, a mini skirt,
with your belly exposed... Women are not allowed in
the altar area behind the iconostasis. Taking photos
