About this tour
This session reads the old town of Novi Sad through its buildings rather than its streets alone. You see the frontages along Dunavska Street, the Almaška church at the edge of the craftsmen's quarter, and a restored courtyard tucked behind one of the older buildings. It moves slowly, building by building.
After a short sound check I take this one at a careful pace, since most of the detail is in things easy to miss on a screen. Questions about restoration and building dates are welcome at every stop.
This suits anyone with an interest in architecture or restoration work rather than a general first look at the city. It also pairs well with the Liberty Square session for a fuller picture of the old town.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Novi Sad before heading out.
-
Dunavska Street Frontages 21 min
The camera moves slowly along Dunavska Street, and I explain which cellars and shopfronts date from the Austro-Hungarian period and which are later copies built to match.
-
Almaška Church 21 min
You see the Orthodox church at the edge of the old craftsmen's quarter, and I describe how it was rebuilt after a fire in the eighteenth century damaged much of the district around it.
-
A Restored Courtyard 21 min
The camera looks into a quiet courtyard behind one of the old street's buildings, and I point out details from a recent restoration that most passers-by never see from the street.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Novi Sad: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Fruška Gora wines and Stari Grad (Old Town), worth a slower look.
