Street in Novi Sad
Novi Sad Old Town
Novi Sad’s center is a compact mix of Austro-Hungarian architecture, pedestrian streets, and the Zmaj Jovina high street leading to Liberty Square (Trg Slobode). Free to walk. The Serbian National Theatre, the Catholic cathedral (The Name of Mary Church), and the Bishop’s Palace face the square. Budget travelers walk the center in an hour and find a city that feels more Central European than Balkan, with prices lower than Belgrade.
