These trees form lines along winding lanes next to an artificial lake. Locals have gathered here since the park first opened in 1895. Located close to the bank of the Danube, it serves as a garden for some of Novi Sad’s most beautiful homes and the nearby Museum of Vojvodina. …exploring Petrovaradin Petrovaradin Fortress, Novi Sad’s most famous landmark, is nicknamed “the Gibraltar of the Danube”. The foundation stone of today's fortification was laid in 1692, and here you’ll see remnants from the time when the area was under Roman, Ottoman and Hungarian rule. Petrovaradin lives on as one of the country’s most impressive monuments. It has two levels, upper and lower, which are separated by a moat and connected via arched gateways, drawbridges, earthen rises and underground tunnels. Like Belgrade’s Kalemegdan, this Novi Sad fortress also hasn’t been converted into a museum (although it does house a museum and a planetarium), but rather has been mostly left as an open-air playground with a series of public spaces. There is also the Clock Tower, which was gifted to the city by Austrian Empress MariaTheresa and has inverted hands – with the big one indicator the hours and the small one showing the minutes, thus enabling fishermen on the Danube to check the time from afar.
