Known to be the Athens of Serbia, Novi Sad is recognized for being a liberal city full of music, art, and entertainment. Novi Sad residents have the fortunate distinction of living in Serbia's cultural core, thanks to its lovely location on the Danube River. Novi Sad is a terrific spot to see by bicycle, with low rental rates and plenty of pick-up and drop-off points, thanks to the city's flat terrain, inhabitants' bike-friendly attitudes, and numerous cycling routes. It's also pretty much walkable. Recognized as the city that values street art, drab building walls have been transformed into a vibrant display of large-scale murals and breathtaking street art that blends photo-realism and illustration.
