What is the best day trip from Novi Sad?
The tour to Sremski Karlovci and Krusedol Monastery is a top choice. It combines Baroque architecture, spiritual heritage at the monasteries, and a tasting of the unique Bermet wine, all within a short drive from the city center.
Is it worth booking a private tour for Novi Sad excursions?
Absolutely. Private tours like the Novi Sad & Sremski Karlovci tour offer a tailored pace, direct access to your guide for questions, and the flexibility to focus on your interests, from history to wine tasting, making your day more personal and efficient.
What should I not miss at Petrovaradin Fortress?
Don’t miss the panoramic view of Novi Sad and the Danube from the clock tower plateau. Also, inquire about tours that access the secret underground tunnels—a unique glimpse into the fortress’s military history that most visitors don’t see.
Can I visit Fruška Gora wineries without a car?
Yes, the best way is by joining a guided wine tour. Options range from budget-friendly Novi Sad wine tastings to full-day private wine tours in Fruska Gora that include transportation, visits to multiple cellars, and expert insights you’d miss on your own.
Why should I book my Novi Sad day trip in advance?
Popular tours, especially private experiences and those visiting the famous Bermet wine cellars, have limited capacity. Booking early secures your spot, often guarantees the best price, and lets you plan the rest of your Serbia itinerary with confidence.
