Subotica - The Culture of Vojvodina

We travel north where it is still possible to find remains of Austro-Hungarian influence even a century after they vanished.

Let’s go to our first destination, the city of Subotica. As we visit the city center we will see wonderful architecture from the times of the 19th and 20th centuries that makes the city of Subotica one of the most beautiful in Serbia. The city hall building is a crown jewel surrounded by the main city square around which are buildings that are former banks, insurance companies, pharmacies, and, of course, numerous taverns in which many poets and artists spent their “productive days”.

Just next to the city of Subotica, there is wonderful Lake Palić where we will take a small break and enjoy nature.

So-called “Salaš” is Vojvodina’s most authentic institution, originally a place where workers rested after long hours of work in the fields in the summer, nowadays they have become a place to “run away” from the city bustle. We are visiting Majkin salaš that is a true ethnic park where you have a chance to see how Vojvodina peasant house looked like during the times of Austro-Hungarian reign, if you get hungry you can also try some typical dishes and authentic rakijas and wines as well as to hear local music. Vojvodina food is a mix of Hungarian, Romanian, Ottoman, and of course, Serbian cuisine.
