Novi Sad is an old city placed in Vojvodina
on bank of Danube. It is the second biggest
city in Serbia. Novi Sad is located about
80km to the northwest of Belgrade, and 100
km from the border town (with Hungary) of
Subotica. By car there is a direct highway
between Budapest and Novi Sad. From Belgrade
you can to take train or bus. A small settlement
is mentioned during Roman times and the invasions
of barbarian, Avarian and Turkish conquerors
while the first written document, dating from
1694, writes about a bridgehead to protect
the Petrovaradin Fortress.
The
history of Novi Sad has been recorded continually
since the end of the 17th century, when the
settlement of the left bank of the Danube,
most outside the Petrovaradin Fortress, numbered
a thousand inhabitants. The name of the city
as we know it today dates back to February
1,1748, when the citizens of the former Petrovaradinski
šanac or Rátz Város, mostly
tradesmen and craftsmen, paid the Court in
Vienna, 95,000 forints for the status of a
free city.
One of the
symbols of Novi Sad, neo gothic cathedral built
during the period of 1893 - 1895. is situated
in the main center square of Novi Sad, Square
of Freedom. Cathedral has beautiful tall and
thin shafts. It is recognizable by its tall
clock tower, and vitrages made in Budapest.
It has been built on the place of previous
church from the mid 18 century and is devoted
to st. Mary.
The most
charming street in Novi Sad is Duvavska Street.
Very short, in the pure center, but very cute.
it's full of colorful facades, many advertising
and shops. It looks like the time has stopped
there. One look at this short street captures
your breath and heart .Straight from it you
get to Dunavski Park.
Orthodox
Bishop's Hall is situated in the beginning
of Zmaj Jovina Street.
The symbol
of Novi Sad is Petrovaradinska Fortress. It
is a place where you can take a walk, enjoy
in some restaurant or cafe. Petrovaradin is
a perfect spot for the views and at the same
time it is perfectly romantic, quiet place
with a breeze always.
The Austrians
built the Fortress and its suburban settlement,
as we know then today, during the 17th and 18th
centuries.

The symbol
of the fortress is the old clock. A clock at
Petrovaradin fortress is interesting because
it works in the opposite way from the other
clocks - the big hand is showing the hours
and the smaller one is showing minutes. When
they built it they thought that hours are
more important than minutes.
