What I Saw In Novi Sad
I arrived in Novi Sad in the middle of a dust storm and rain. It was a tough gig walking down the main street with a crappy $4 umbrella
After spending 3 great days touring Zagreb, Osijek and Vukovar iN Croatia I crossed over the Danube river and got into Serbia my 41st nation. By the end of the day I was staying at Hostel Frenky right next to the local Synagogue.
The Name of Mary Parish Church
In Libery Square is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Novi Sad, Serbia. It's the largest church in Novi Sad, and is located in the city centre on the Trg Slobode (Libery Square)
The Interesting thing I like about this Cathedral its it roof tiles that were made of Zsolnay tile. Its just that the tower of the Cathedral stands out over its others part
Hungarian architect György Molnár designed the church in 1892 and it didn;t cost the city a single Dinar at all! It was built on the sight of the original Church that was destroyed twice during 1742 and it was bombed during the Hungarian revolution of 1848.

Saint George Catherdral (Saborna crkva svetog Georgija XVIII)
Saint George Cathedral is the seat of the Serbian Orthodox church in the northern part of Serbia. The current church was completed in 1905 after it has been destroyed in 1849.
I am a fan of Orthodox Church in eastern Europe and this one takes the cake in Novi Sad!

Fortress Petrovaradin
You can't visit Novi Sad without paying a visit to Fortress Petrovaradin. This is where my Cousin Brendon met his wife Julia at Exit festival 2010. Exit Festival is held here every July during the summer months.
Since I arrived in August Novi Sad was very quiet.
Petrovaradin Fortress has spectacular views of Novi Sad. You can see all the church’s on the other side of the Danube and how they are building another bridge that resemble the current model.

Novi Sad Synagogue
The synagogue was the fifth to be erected in Novi Sad.
Construction began in 1905 and was completed in 1909. Projected by Hungarian architect Baumhorn Lipót, it was part of a bigger complex of buildings that included on both sides of the synagogue two edifices decorated in a similar pattern
Right now there are only 84 jewish residents in the whole of Novi Sad. But I did notice allot of Jews using the Synagoge as I walked past on an evening stroll.

Novi Sad City Museum
I paid 200 Serbian Dinar to get inside the City museum as they had a giant expo on World War II. It features allot about what happened during World War II on how the Croatia had the backing of Mussolini/Hitler to infiltrate Yugoslavia as a puppet state.
You can find machine guns, artillery weapons, German Empire/ Nazi propaganda, Kingdom of Yugoslavia/ Socialist republic of Yugoslavia flags, even fascism and communist propaganda.
The interesting part of the museum is the underground tunnel that were built and paid for by the Hasburgs.

Liberty Square
Liberty Square is in walking distance from all the Churchs/Sygnagoge and even the fortress. Its where the city hall meets the Church and where everyone else likes to gather.
Getting there is easy. Just walk through the underground pathways and you will get there in no time at all.
