NOVI SAD - In Your Pocket

4 Foreword
To most foreigners, Serbia’s second city of Novi Sad
is synonymous with one thing and one thing only, the
annual Exit Festival. While Exit is undoubtedly one of
Europe’s foremost music events - both in terms of the
level and diversity of the artists it attracts, as well as
its truly unique venue at Petrovaradin Fortress - the city
and surrounding area have more to offer than arguably
anywhere else in Serbia or even the wider region.
Novi Sad’s position at one of the continent’s true
crossroads and history as a multinational commercial
and transit centre has left it endowed with historical
and cultural sights that even much larger cities have
difficulty matching. From the imposing fortress on the
opposite bank to the churches representing numerous
denominations throughout the old town’s exceedingly
pleasant pedestrian zone to several unheralded but
noteworthy museums and art galleries, Novi Sad has
much to boast about. And within easy driving, or cycling,
distance there the monasteries of Fruška Gora and the
inviting Salaši tourist farms. In January of the city will also
be jointly host one the most important sporting events
that Serbia has ever seen: the 2012 EHF Euro Handball
Championship - see the Culture and Events section for
more details about the event and a full schedule of the
matches. As always we welcome any and all feedback
from our readers, be it on Facebook, Twitter or even
old-fashioned email.

Although it is only an hour’s
drive north of the capital
of Belgrade, Novi Sad
benefits from much milder
weather than its southern
neighbour, as evidenced by
the abundance of flowers
around the city come early
springtime.
