Europe / Serbia
Places to go. A little room to wander.
THE SHORTLIST
Trg slobode
He was a lawyer, journalist, author, politician, mayor of Novi Sad. One interpretation of the statue is that Miletić is threatening to the Catholic Church, since he is facing the Name of Mary Church that is next to the monument, with his arm up in a menacing fashion. However, most likely he is just presented going out of the Town Hall where he served as a mayor.

Trg Republike
Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a true Serbian market experience. It is open every day, and it's best to come in the morning since the vendors start going home in the early afternoon.

Kej žrtava racije
This monument stands on a small square next to the Danube river, along the promenade. It offers a great view over the Petrovaradin Fortress. During the warm summer evenings, many young people gather on this square. The monument itself was erected to commemorate the victims of the raid during the World War II. Between 21–23 January 1942, Hungarian police killed 1,246 citizens, among them more than 800 Jews, and threw their corpses into the icy waters of the Danube.

Novi Sad
A fortress that no enemy has ever taken, it now hosts the annual Exit Festival within its trenches and walls. The fortress offers the best view over Novi Sad, which is especially beautiful during the sunsets. The clock tower on the fortress is a symbol of Novi Sad, specific for its hands being reversed (the large hand showing hours and small one showing minutes). This dates back to the times when people didn't have their own clocks, and were relying on public ones.

Novi Sad
A beautifully curated park that looks out onto the Danube River, once the garden of royalty. There is a large pentagonal sculpture. In the middle and a statue of a sphinx further in.

A note before you go. Start with Statue of Svetozar Miletić, then decide whether Fish Market deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Kamenički park before setting off.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF
It helps to have the address written out although many taxi drivers speak fair, sometimes even excellent, English. Some good taxi companies: Pan, Vojvodjani, SOS, Delta, Novus, Naš, Lav. The town center has two main bus stops - one after the underpass in Mihajla Pupina and one in Uspenska by the theatre. You can get from the railway/bus station to the town center with bus lines 4, 10, 14 and 15. 10, 14 and 15 stop in Uspenska, and 4 stops by the underpass.
Statue of Svetozar Miletić and Fish Market are about 0.6 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
