Serbia

Entrance to a farm where we have a traditional Serbian feast. It was very good.

Daily open market

Cool looking outdoor restaurant with umbrellas inverted upside down for shade.

Reflections on the Danube River from our river boat Concerto.

In Europe the bridges are lighted in the evening. Spectacular for photography.

Novi Sad is a city in northern Serbia on the banks of the Danube River. Standing atop a riverside bluff, much of Petrovaradin Fortress dates to the 17th and 18th centuries, with an iconic clock tower and a network of tunnels. Across the river is the old quarter, Stari Grad, site of the Gothic Revival Name of Mary Church and the neo-Renaissance City Hall.

Apart from being the spiritual center, Karlovci had been the meeting point of cultural elites, poets, and prominent personae. Because of its close vicinity to Austria, and for the city’s important role with the Viennese Court, which was under the Habsburg’s management, Karlovci has been a city well ahead of its time

You can walk to all of Novi Sad's attractions from the happening pedestrian thoroughfare and outdoor restaurants,

Art work on the side of Soviet era apartment buildings.

English graffiti on a bridge along the Danube river.

I tried to find out the name of this tree. It actually almost looked like cotton falling from the tree along the Danube.

The Raid Victims Memorial was built in remembrance of the ’January Raid’ carried out from January 21st to January 23rd 1942 in Novi Sad. During these three days Hungarian fascists executed over a thousand people – Serbs, Jews and Gypsies. In 1971 at this place by the Danube river a 12 foot tall bronze monument called ’The Family’ was put up.

Looks like fun to me.

Lots of students take day trips here for a class study on history.

The beauty in Novi Sad is in its name, translates to New Garden. Novi Sad is peppered with historical and cultural monuments, thriving pedestrian zone, bustling sqpares and verdant parks.

Pre school children walk along the Danube with their teachers enjoying the day.

Local park and a statue are very restful.
