Sightseeing
Novi Sad · Serbia
Petrovaradin Fortress is an 18th-century Habsburg military fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia, perched dramatically on a 40-meter cliff above the Danube River. With 16 km of underground tunnels, four defensive lines, and a distinctive clock tower with backwards hands (so sailors on the Danube could read it), it is one of Europe's most impressive baroque fortresses. The fortress gained international fame as the site of EXIT, one of Europe's top music festivals held each July.

Saint Sava Temple in Belgrade is the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, a massive neo-Byzantine domed cathedral dedicated to Serbia's patron saint, the medieval founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Construction began in 1935 but was repeatedly interrupted by wars; the breathtaking gold-and-glass mosaic interior is still being completed. The church sits on the Vračar plateau where Saint Sava's relics were burned by Ottoman forces in 1595.
