In Subotica you will find outstanding examples of Art Nouveau architecture. Actually, Subotica is probably the city with the most art nouveau buildings in Serbia. In Austro-Hungary, the movement was called Secession. At that time, Subotica was at the forefront of the movement. Most buildings are quite colorful and are decorated with world famous Zs...
As mentioned above Subotica is Serbia’s most multicultural city. Apart from the beautiful Synagogue, the city is full of interesting religious buildings. Amongst these, three churches built in the 18thcentury stand out: the Cathedral, the Franciscan church and the Serb Orthodox Church. Considering that Subotica is rather small you should be able to...
Just 8 kilometers to the east of Subotica we find Palić. The place is pretty famous all around Serbia due to beautiful PalićLake, the largest natural lake in the country. The Lake is now connected to Tisa River and apparently unsuitable for swimming. Nevertheless, it is a great place to walk about. Even more, amongst the lush Great Park(Veliki Park...
Explore the City Center on Foot
Spend some time exploring Subotica’s central pedestrian area. Walk about Freedom Square (Trg Slobode), the main street Korzo and the small Matije Korvina Street. Be sure to notice the pretty buildings that dot the area. You shouldn’t miss the two large fountains on the square, made of colorful Zsolnai ceramic tiles. The beautiful City Library is there too. Finish your walk in the Ferenca Rajhla Park in front of the train station. Some of Subotica’s nicest houses are right across the park.
Relax in a Forest
Relax in Mulberry Forest (Dudova Šuma), a 200 year old city park. You won’t be walking entirely alone, since hedgehogs and squirrels inhabit the park. On the other hand, if you want to exercise there are a couple of basketball courts, tennis courts, and plenty of gym equipment. Additionally, there is a refreshing open air swimming pool. Unfortunately, there are no more mulberries in the park. To get there, walk along the Aleja Maršala Tita Avenue, remnant of socialist times.
Bike Around the City
Get a city bike cardat the SU BIKE office in Djure Djakovica 23. Bring your passport and a couple of dinars for the card and rental fees. The card allows you to take a bike at any of the five bike stations scattered all around town. Four of them are in the city and one is in Palić, so you can bike all the way to the Palić Lake. We took the bike line that goes all along the road to Palić, and once there, biked around the Great Park and along the lake. You can rent your bike any day from 7 AM t...
We are sad to report that Subotica’s accommodation offer doesn’t match its beauty. There are only three** hotels inside the city, all of them overpriced. Patria and Galleria are 4 star hotels while PBG Garni Hotel is 3 stars. Hotels in Palić are much better value for money. Nevertheless, staying in downtown Subotica is a better idea, unless you are...
Since Palić is a popular resort town in Serbia, it has a wider selection of accommodation. There are 4 hotels in Palić, and all are 4 stars. Besides, several grand old villas are now guesthouses. The best hotel in town is undoubtedly the Garni Hotel & Spa Palić Resort. The award-winning hotel has big rooms, a nice spa, a swimming pool, and views. G...
Subotica used to have a tram, but it fell into oblivion. Actually, you can still see anold wooden tramparked at the beginning of Matka Vukovica Street. Today, buses serve the city and the suburbs. Since most of the sights are in a very small area, you probably won’t need them. To get to Palić, bike (as mentioned above) or take bus number 6. There i...
As mentioned above, Subotica is on the main road that connects the capitals of Serbia and Hungary. Unfortunately, at the moment, no trains operate from Belgrade. The railway line between Belgrade and Novi Sad is under repair, so no trains link the two cities. What’s more, trains from Belgrade to Budapest are affected too. Currently, only one train ...
Subotica is full of great bakeries, restaurants and coffee shops. However, three places are not to be missed. Without a doubt the best restaurant in town is Caffe Boss in Matije Korvina. The place is so big it practically occupies half of the street. You can sit under a tree and indulge in delicious national dishes as well as in international flavo...

Subotica isn’t only a beautiful city with the one of the most beautiful lakes in Serbia – Palić, or host of the European Film Festival, Inter Ethno Festival or Wine Harvest Days… As if its history wasn’t interesting enough, it was also the capital of one almost fairy-tale empire.
The City of Subotica is located on the north of the Republic of Serbia, along the main European corridors and between two rivers: the Danube and Tisa rivers. Rich cultural heritage assets, lavishly decorated buildings, multicultural spirit and European charm – these are the features that make this city distinctive.
