Novi Sad

Novi Sad, Serbia, Serbia - 2022 Danube River cruise. Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia with an ethnically diverse population of around 300,000. It was founded in 1694 as a merchant town to serve the Habsburg Petrovaradin Fortress on the opposite bank of the Danube River. We did a walking tour through the old city center and saw lots of shops, restaurants and historic sites.
The Petrovaradin Fortress which dates to the 17th and 18th centuries and has been referred to as the “Gibraltar of the Danube”. Novi Sad, Serbia
