Here are the must-visit spots in Serbian Athens - another attribute this place has. 

Start from the Center and Freedom Square 

Freedom Square is a starting point for sightseeing here. A monument dedicated to a great Serbian revolutionist, the Name of Mary Church that dominates the skyline,  18th-century facades, charming cafes - where you can freely sit since there are no limitations due to Covid-19 restrictions, and much more is waiting for you to discover!

The Museum of Vojvodina and Galleries That Hide the Masterpieces of Serbian Art Are Must-Sees on this Cultural Route 

The Museum of Vojvodina is an art and natural history museum. The collection houses some of the most notable art pieces of famous European painters like Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, and Jan van Huysum, significant archaeological findings, and a setting that shows typical traditional life in Vojvodina. 

If you want to get a glimpse of the art movements of national art and see some valuable collections of European art, then visiting the Gallery of Matica Srpska and Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection is a must. 

Petrovaradin Fortress - the Best Spot in Novi Sad to Watch the Sunset 

Located at one of the highest spots in the city, overlooking the Danube and the rest of the place, stands the Petrovaradin Fortress, one of the oldest fortresses in Europe. The first fortress was built by the Celts in the 4th century BC, and all further conquerors left traces on the fortress - Romans, Hungarians, Ottoman Turks, and Habsburgs, who gave the fortress the final look in the 17th century. 

Underground military galleries, the Clock Tower - the symbol of this place, and one of the best viewpoints in the city overlooking the Danube river make the Petrovaradin Fortress the greatest tourist attraction of the Capital of the North to discover. 

Things to Do in Novi Sad - A Wine Tasting Tour in Fruška Gora Wineries 

Fruska Gora is one of five national parks in Serbia, and it hides unspoiled nature, numerous Christian Orthodox monasteries, and world-class wineries only 120 km away from Belgrade. Going for some monastery tours is definitely a must-do! Combined with delicious specialties, wine tasting gives a whole new level to Fruska Gora and is one of the tours that are definitely worth a try. Also, many monasteries produce their own selection of wines, so be prepared for serious tasting sessions during the Fruska Gora wine tour!

The Most Romantic Serbian City - Sremski Karlovci 

Nestled among the vineyards and slopes of Fruska Gora, the small town of Sremski Karlovci is one of the most romantic and important towns in the whole country. The inspiration of many Serbian poets, the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church during the Ottoman rule, and one of the greatest educational centers, Sremski Karlovci, are still an indispensable spot on tour through Serbia. 

Aside from wine, Sremski Karlovci is known for the delicious kuglof cake - the heritage of Danube Swabians who lived in the territory of Vojvodina while it was a part of the Habsburg Monarchy. Kuglof is so popular here that locals have dedicated a three-day festival to it, which takes place every last weekend in June.
