Exit Festival city and Petrovaradin fortress on the Danube
Novi Sad is Serb culture's intellectual center, a university town where the Exit Festival (five days of electronic music and alternative culture each summer) draws international crowds. Petrovaradin Fortress overlooks the Danube from across the river, and the city maintains a cultured, youthful vibe. The atmosphere is less intense than Belgrade, more cosmopolitan than provincial—making it an appealing Balkan stop for those seeking culture with substance.
