A beautiful Danubian city whose riverside fortress hosts one of Europe's greatest music festivals — solo travelers find Novi Sad's walkable old town, sunset fortress views, and EXIT festival one of Serbia's most welcoming stops.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Novi Sad is Serbia's second city and home to the EXIT music festival (July) — one of Europe's greatest music festivals held inside a riverside fortress, extremely solo-friendly as everyone is there to meet people. Outside festival time, Novi Sad is a beautiful, relaxed, and walkable city with the Petrovaradin Fortress (where EXIT is held) offering superb solo views over the Danube. Very affordable and increasingly on the traveler circuit.
