Few cities in Vojvodina have a history as closely tied to the Danube crossing beneath Petrovaradin Fortress as Novi Sad. Set on the river’s left bank, Serbia’s second-largest city developed opposite the fortress, whose commanding position long made it a strategic point on the Danube. The pedestrian centre around Liberty Square reflects Novi Sad’s Austro-Hungarian-era urban character, while Matica Srpska, Serbia’s oldest literary, scientific and cultural institution, has its seat here. Petrovaradin Fortress also hosts the annual EXIT Festival. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Novi Sad and the Danube in Vojvodina.
