Serbia

The local parks seem to be cared for very well.

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.

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

Daily open market

The table where I was seated in the corner of all the glass looking out. Can't beat the views of the farm.

Prewar building WW 1

Statue of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj and Saborna Crkva, Novi Sad Jovan Jovanović Zmaj was a very important Serbian poet.

In the distance is Novi Sad City Hal. It was built in 1895.

Following our walk through the streets of Novi Sad, we entered Liberty Square. The first thing you notice on entering from any direction is the beautiful Roman Catholic Parish Church of St Mary’s It was built in the neo-gothic style between 1893 and 1895 on the site of what was previously the cathedral.

Sremski Karlovci is a town and municipality located south on the bank of the river Danube, 5 miles from Novi Sad.

View inside the dining hall is quite large. All food is prepared in an adjacent building across the patio area.

The church is dedicated to the Saint Nicholas, and today you can find valuable frescoes and paintings

It is said that every building, house and street in Sremski Karlovci have their own stories to tell, for this city was beyond doubt famous for its spirituality and culture of Serbia. The city had become an heir to the Patriarchate of Peć right after the First Serbian Migration in 1690.

The Cathedral church is glistening all in white, with its green domes

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

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
