Novi Sad arose on
the left bank of the river Danube. It spreads across the alluvial terrace
and on the old Danube road, at the site of the most suitable approach to the
Danube and most convenient crossing from Backa into Srem, where the Danube
is only 350 m wide. The city is connected with several settlements in the
outskirts. It is one of the largest economic and cultural centre in Serbia.
Petrovaradin and
the fortress are on the road, which from the state border with Hungary,
across Novi Sad, leads to Belgrade. Today Petrovaradin Fortress is an
integral part of the urban entirety of Novi Sad.
Fruska Gora is
one of the 5th National parks in Serbia.
