Belgrade Fortress
Tandi1984
The city is loud and bustling. Busy roads, busy streets and busy shops. This is like an oasis of calm that separates the bustle from the rivers. The fortress is well maintained and beautiful, with so many directions to choose for a walk afterwards. I chose to walk along the rivers whilst marvelling at the fortress on the hill. it’s easy to imagine why this place was chosen as an overwatch, very little can get in or out undetected.
Fortress of Niš
Hinalove
I visited early in the morning, so it was empty and a good place to take a walk. It seems that they hold jazz concerts depending on the season. There is also a cafe so you can relax. The bus terminal is nearby, so it is easy to access.
Skull Tower

Skull Tower in Nis is quite literally, as the name would suggest - a big tower made from human skulls. After the failed Serbian uprising against the Ottomans in 1809, the Turkish governor at the time, Hurshid Pasha decided it would be a major deterrent to others to take the heads of 1,000 executed Serb prisoners and turn them into a 5 meter high tower. Most of the skulls have since been stolen, however a few poor ones still remain with either circular bullet holes between the eyes, or a sword chop in the middle of the head. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon! :(
The National University Library of Kosovo "Pjetër Bogdani"

Some people like it and some hate it. My guide says that whether good or bad, it generates buzz which is good for tourism in the country.
Petrovaradin Fortress
笑着流泪
Located in Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia, it is one of the three major attractions in Novi Sad (Petrovaradin Fortress, Freedom Square, and Red Wine Town). You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river and the houses with red roofs.

It’s almost Christmas again. We’ve been talking about my last three-year Christmas trip for the past two days. The last issue mentioned that I was invited back to Dubai for the holiday last year (interested friends can read the previous article). This issue should be talked about this year. Some friends will ask: this year? Isn't Christmas two days away? Haha, you, or listen to me to talk. On December 25, last year, I went back to Beijing after participating in the desert carnival night, but I felt that it was not enough. People are playing more and more and cross-country. Do you think it is right? So I left again in a few days after I finished New Year's Day at home! Where have I been this time? Back to the Balkans, because I know that Christmas there has not begun yet... A few days ago, I said that I was tired of European aesthetics. Is this back not to slap my face? Not exactly! Listen to me. Friends who know some religion know that Orthodox Christmas is January 7th instead of December 25th. I have only caught up in Russia before, and I have not had Christmas in other Orthodox countries. Just in time and friends there are also on holiday, so what are you waiting for to leave... January 7 is Christmas day, friends from Bay City drove me to Novi Sad for the holiday, because I have been to Serbia five times before but have not been there. Novi Sad is Serbia's second largest city after Bay City, about 70 kilometers southeast of Belgrade, and the Danube River splits the city in two. It is also the capital and economic and cultural center of Vojvodina Autonomous Province. So I must come to see this time, in fact, you will find that although it is independent, it is no different from one city to another. Regarding the attractions and scenery of the city, let's talk about the theme of today - Christmas dinner! My friend booked a restaurant for me that was a local talent in the old town of Novi Sad, where no foreign tourists could really feel the original taste. In fact, the Serbian cooking method is simple, not fried or roasted, but taste the taste of the food is enough to satisfy the taste buds. The custom here is that the Christmas feast does not eat turkey, most of the fish eat two reasons, one thinks that fish is not meat, this day to be clear of the desire to eat large meat, and then to commemorate the Bible Jesus five cakes and two fish. The restaurant is frugal and sentimental (I returned to the big red and green of European Christmas) and the head soup is fish skin soup, and the main course is fried and roasted Danube salmon are the most traditional Christmas menu in Novi Sad. There are few people in the restaurant, only a table of men drinking coffee, maybe like us to spend the Spring Festival at home together! I heard another reason during the chat with the boss. He said that the business is not good now because the economy of Nuocheng is not good. People are poor and unwilling to come out to eat. Generally, eating at home can save some... I feel a little sad when I hear this on Christmas Day. The boss is very real that he does not have the vanity of ours. Don't lose face in front of foreigners. Thank him for making me feel the candor of the Norse people. Thank him for not closing the door on this day. I wish him a Merry Christmas! I will definitely come again next time!
City Hall
大海金国
Subotica's City Hall Gradska kuca
Subotica's City Hall has fixed opening hours for individual tourists. Meet at the souvenir shop next to the City Hall at 12 noon every day, buy tickets, and then be led in by a special person.
The tour includes climbing the tower and the interior of the City Hall, which are charged separately. It is worth participating in both. You can see the whole picture of Subotica from a high place, which is especially beautiful when the weather is good~
Inside the City Hall, the staff will introduce each room in detail. The handmade tables, chairs and wooden doors, the wall decorations full of Hungarian style, and the gorgeous glass windows are really not enough, but time is limited~
