Sightseeing
Must see in Novi Sad.
Novi Sad (Serbian Cyrillic: Нови Сад, pronounced [nôʋiː sâːd] (About this soundlisten); Hungarian: Újvidék [ˈuːjvideːk]; see below for other names) is the second largest city in Serbia and the capital of the autonomous province of Vojvodina. It is located in the southern portion of the Pannonian Plain on the border of the Bačka and Srem geographical regions. Lying on the banks of the Danube river, the city faces the northern slopes of Fruška Gora.
Novi Sad was founded in 1694 when Serb merchants formed a colony across the Danube from the Petrovaradin Fortress, a strategic Habsburg military post. In the following centuries, it transformed into an important trading and manufacturing centre as well as a centre of Serbian culture, earning it the nickname Serbian Athens. The city was heavily devastated in the 1848 Revolution, but was subsequently rebuilt and restored. Today, along with the Serbian capital city of Belgrade, Novi Sad is an industrial and financial centre important to the Serbian economy.
Novi Sad is the European Capital of Culture for the year 2021 and European Youth Capital 2019.

Fruška Gora (Serbian Cyrillic: Фрушка гора) is a mountain in northern Serbia. Most of the area is administratively part of Serbia, but a small part on its western side extends into eastern Croatia. The area under Serbia forms one of the country's national parks. Sometimes it is also referred to as jewel of Serbia due to its largely pristine landscape and protection effort.
A national park Fruška Gora was declared in 1960 and covers an area of 266.72 km2 (102.98 sq mi). It is the oldest modern national park in Serbia.
Ottoman documents mention 35 monasteries, of which 16 survived and are still active today. Due to the such large number of monasteries on one place, Fruška Gora is colloquially called Serbian Mount Athos.[2] The Holy Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church officially declared Fruška Gora the Holy Mountain on 12 October 2003.

Must visit Public beach. Only 5 minutes from Appartment.
Štrand (Serbian Cyrillic: Штранд) is a popular beach on the Danube river in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia. It is located near the Liberty Bridge, in the city quarter known as Liman.
Štrand was built back in 1911, as a beach for local people; later it was expanded several times.[1] Its name derives from the German word Strand, meaning simply beach (In German, an initial s is usually pronounced as sh when it comes before a consonant, as in the Yiddish-English shtick, thus, the Serbian š correctly bears a diacritic reflecting this).

The market is traditionally open on Sundays, since 2007 the market day has been extended to Saturday, and since 2011 to Friday. On Fridays and Saturdays, mostly second-hand goods are sold, and on Sundays, new goods.

Restaurants and Clubs to visit
Ribarsko Ostrvo (Fisherman’s Island) occupies a peaceful setting on the Danube riverbank, 4 km from Novi Sad town centre. It features a stylish restaurants and free Wi-Fi throughout the Island.
Swimming is possible at the nearby Strand Beach. Sailing along the Danube with a small boat can be arranged.
Before entering the weekend settlement Ribarac, you will find the tourist settlement Fisherman's Island consisting of several boats, huts and restaurants, popular among Novi Sad residents and very attractive locations for weddings, especially after the complete reconstruction of bungalows and restaurants in late 2010. Because of this, on weekends, it is necessary to find out if a restaurant has already been reserved for a private celebration.
The tourist resort consists of the Danube huts, the restaurant Alaska Barka, Alaska Terrace and the restaurant Ribarac.
On the left side of the settlement, there are private rafts, across which you can see a part of the Quay and the peak of the Strand beach (the peak is also the name for the end point of Ribarc, from which you can see the end of the Strand). Along the Danube, towards the Fortress, there was a set of buildings called Brukšanc, a small fortification that provided a pontoon bridge. A few hundred meters upstream, there was a swimming pool with a wooden building on the water, which was replaced by the Strand, which was discovered by officers as a place for swimming, swimming and rowing during the war years. Because of this, even today the wild beach on the Danube is called Oficirac.
Nearby are the Picnic Restaurant, Skipper Yachting Club, as well as the Two Seagulls and Cristal rafts, ideal for folk music lovers.
The most famous restaurant on the island is "Kućerak kod česme", which is located next to the fountain that serves as a landmark on the island. Dunavac, view of Strand, tamburitza players and fish specialties are the main features of this restaurant. Traditionally, a competition in making fish soup (organized by the Ribarac club) is held here every year during August. The participants are mostly "locals" of the island, ie owners of cottages in this settlement.
Not far from Ribarac is Bećarac.
