About
Quick facts: It stretches over more than 50 hectares along the Danube and offers a view of the historic center of Novi Sad. Inside you will also find an open-air stage with a capacity of over 1,000 seats, where outdoor concerts are held.
Highlights: When the sun sets over the Danube in the evening, the whole park turns golden shades and all you can hear is the murmur of the river and the birds singing. Locals come here for picnics with a view of the Petrovaradin Fortress, which rises on the opposite bank like a stone guardian.
Insider tips
- Bring binoculars, herons and cormorants regularly nest on the Danube islands near the park.
- The best photos are taken from the footbridge by the water towards the Petrovaradin Fortress during golden hour.
- Avoid weekend afternoons when the park is full of families with children and noisy picnics.
- In the southern part of the park you will discover an old pond with water lilies that tourists often overlook.
