Novi Sad

I recommend a visit to the planetarium and observatory, which are situated on Petrovaradinska Tvrdjava (Fortress), more precisely the planetarium is located in one of the corridors of the fortress. The address of the Novi Sad Astronomical Society is Tvrdjava 11, e-mail: kontakt@adnos.edu.yu, telephone: +381 (0)21 433308.

Its known that in the fortress there are underground tunnels with a length of about 16 km. Some of them can be toured in the obligatory presence of a guide, for those that are "unexplored" take a torch along and thick clothing. Petrovaradinska tvrdjava is also an excellent place for a walk, as well as a fantastic lookout point with a view over Novi Sad.
