§ 01 — About Novi Sad

Novi Sad is Serbia's calmer second city, the cultural capital of Vojvodina, and the stage for the EXIT Festival every July at the Petrovaradin Fortress. Stari Grad is compact and café-table walkable; Laze Telečkog is the bar street; Sremski Karlovci 11 km upriver is the wine day-trip. Cheaper than Belgrade, friendlier than most European capitals.
