Uncover the architectural splendor and layered Jewish history of Novi Sad's pedestrian old town with a private local expert — from the ornate 1909 Synagogue to Liberty Square's Austro-Hungarian façades. Elegant, intimate, and intellectually rich.
What to expect
The tour begins at Liberty Square beneath the neo-Gothic spire of the Name of Mary Cathedral and moves through the pedestrian Zmaj Jovina Street, pausing at the finest Art Nouveau and Secessionist façades. Your guide leads you to the magnificent 1909 Novi Sad Synagogue — one of the grandest in the Balkans — and shares the poignant history of the Jewish community that built and shaped this city. The route winds through the Bishop's Palace courtyard and ends at the Serbian National Theatre, with time to explore or take coffee at a historic café. The tone is unhurried, conversation-led, and endlessly fascinating.
Good to know
The entire walking circuit is compact — all within 1.5km of the city center, a short walk or taxi from the dock. Duration is approximately 2.5 hours. Pre-book directly via the Go Ask A Local platform; Srdjan customizes the focus (architecture, Jewish history, gastronomy) on request.
