I was in Novi Sad during the summer and the most obvious place to go when the sun is shining and there is 35 degress outside is to go to ' Strand', which is an artificial beach on the shore of the Danube . There is sand on the beach and showers to make it look like a real beach . But just a warning to you all , dont go swimming too far off-shore as the stream is very strong . I was almost caught by it and if it wasnt for the help of a kind local I would have ended very far away from Novi Sad.
During the night the cafes are open and all the young people gather there to drink , meet with eachother and just to have fun
The memorial
by elsebeth
This is our group in front of the memorial spot by the shores of Danube. It's a memorial for the fallen soldiers from the 2.nd world war. Very nice sculptures.
The people are me, some people from Bulgaria and Romania. Sorry can't remeber their names except for the guy sitting down. he's an old flame, bulgarian and his name is Malen.
Petrovaradin from the Danube
by Aurorae
There is a very nice view on the Petrovaradin fortress from the Danube. You can enjoy it if you're walking by the river in direction towards the bridges, coming from the Liman neighbourhouds. It is especially lovely on a sunny day.
General Info

Just few tips here... Serbian currency is called dinar. You will be expected to pay with dinars, no foreign currencies are allowed. But that's not a problem, exchange offices can be found on every corner. One euro is around 95 dinars, but for more accurate information, here's a link: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/t/cf58e/a/affea/0/
Credit cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurant, and atm's can be found on every corner.
