A fortress that no enemy has ever taken, it now hosts the annual Exit Festival within its trenches and walls. The fortress offers the best view over Novi Sad, which is especially beautiful during the sunsets. The clock tower on the fortress is a symbol of Novi Sad, specific for its hands being reversed (the large hand showing hours and small one showing minutes). This dates back to the times when people didn't have their own clocks, and were relying on public ones. The hands were reversed so that the one showing hours (therefore being more important) was easier to see. There is also a museum on the fortress, "Muzej Grada Novog Sada", some restaurants with a great view, and even night clubs.
Petrovaradin Fortress, nicknamed "Gibraltar on/of the Danube", is a bastion fortress in the town of Petrovaradin, itself part of the City of Novi Sad, Serbia. It is located on the right bank of the Danube river. The cornerstone of the present-day southern part of the fortress was laid on 18 October 1692 by Charles Eugène de Croÿ. Petrovaradin Fortress has many tunnels as well as over 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) of preserved underground corridors and countermine system.

Spomenik žrtvama racije
This monument stands on a small square next to the Danube river, along the promenade. It offers a great view over the Petrovaradin Fortress. During the warm summer evenings, many young people gather on this square. The monument itself was erected to commemorate the victims of the raid during the World War II. Between 21–23 January 1942, Hungarian police killed 1,246 citizens, among them more than 800 Jews, and threw their corpses into the icy waters of the Danube.

Riblja pijaca
Great place to buy very cheap, fresh fruit and vegetables, homemade cheese, and many other things! Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a true Serbian market experience. It is open every day, and it's best to come in the morning since the vendors start going home in the early afternoon.
