Are you in Novi Sad during the holiday season and aren’t sure what to do or where to go yet? Well your’re in luck! Varad INN hostel has put together the ultimate New Year’s 2018 Guide and we didn’t just create it for the guests staying at the best hostel in the city.
Novi Sad, the European Capital of Culture 2021 will be decorated with thousand of lights and the main stage in Freedom Square will have a totally different look than previous years.
Free New Year’s Eve concerts will be held in three locations with over 50 performers.
Here is Varad Inn’s suggestions of what to do around the New Year.
- REPUBLIC SQUARE
Next to the open market(Riblja Pijaca) in Novi Sad’s city center you will find a new square – the Republic Square. This square will be host to various concerts, bands ranging from Serbia’s authentic tamburica to classical Jazz. Also, during the day you can watch street performers, including acrobats and jugglers and even sample or better yet buy products from local breweries and Fuska Gora. Make sure to try the foods the authentic restaurants display, we are sure you will find something to your liking.
