Road Trip Serbia – Scenic Diversity
Belgrade – The capital has a lot to offer
The journey begins in Belgrade, the country’s capital. Just over a million inhabitants live in the metropolis, which lies on the banks of the Danube and Sava rivers. Especially the old town is worth seeing. Here the fortress is worth a visit. The first construction phases date back to the 15th century, but the fortress only acquired its current dimensions through extensions in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the mighty complex, the past comes alive again.
After the tour, you can stroll down ul. Knez Mihajlova. The pedestrian street, which is over a kilometre long, is flanked by beautiful 17th and 18th century houses. You have the opportunity to shop to your heart’s content in countless shops. Afterwards you can visit the National Museum, which provides an interesting insight into Serbian history. But now it’s time to turn your back on old Belgrade. Head to the newer parts of the city and go exploring. As you observe the locals here and indulge in your first Serbian meal at a restaurant, you’ll quickly develop a sense of the city’s pulse.
Sombor – Idyllic little town
Continue your journey to Sombor, a charming town near the border with Hungary. After the hustle and bustle of Belgrade, a more tranquil life awaits you here. In the former capital of the Bačka, you can stroll along a magnificent boulevard.
Little cafés everywhere tempt you to take a break, and especially in the side streets there are many original pubs to discover. If you want to spend the night in Sombor, we recommend the charming Hotel Andric. It is lovingly decorated, the rooms offer plenty of comfort and the breakfast is second to none in Sombor.
Subotica – Almost like Hungary
The next morning you set off for Subotica. The drive takes you through endless cornfields. No mountain obstructs the unobstructed view. In Subotica you will feel a bit like in Hungary. Many of the inhabitants come from the neighbouring country. The building style is also predominantly influenced by the Hungarian secession style.
Visit the museum and climb the tower to the observatory. From here, you’ll have breathtaking distant views. After that, the church of the Franciscan monastery is worth the visit. It is the oldest building in the city and was consecrated in 1736. You should also not miss the pedestrian zone with many worth seeing buildings from the 19th century.
Novi Sad – Magnificent Old Town and Mighty Festivals
Novi Sad is the last stop on your road trip. With a magnificent old town, Serbia’s second largest city beckons visitors. Large parts of the old town are pedestrian zones, so you can stroll at your leisure. Visit the large synagogue, which was built at the end of the 19th century.
Nearby, you’ll find the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Ascension, which is also worth the visit. Here, a magnificent interior in Baroque style awaits you. You will also be impressed by the fortress. The complex, built between 1692 and 1780, covers an area of 112 hectares.
After the tour, you can then return to the old town. You’re sure to find a nice seat at one of the many restaurants. While you wait for your meal, you can plan the next stops on your road trip through Serbia at your leisure.
