Subotica: Art Nouveau at the Very North of Serbia, Subotica, Serbia
Subotica is known as one of Serbia鈥檚 prettiest cities as it has one of the world鈥檚 largest collections of Art Nouveau architecture from the beginning of the 20th century.
Subotica is located in the far north of the country, on the border to Hungary, and is home to a population of 95,000. Historically speaking, Subotica was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the Second World War. Even today, there are more Hungarians than Serbs living in the city, as well as a considerable Croat population, making the city uniquely multicultural. The outskirts of the city look like any other large Serbian city, run-down and the very opposite of beautiful, but the city centre certainly makes up for it. With its many elaborately detailed Art Nouveau buildings and narrow tree-lined streets, Subotica is most definitely worth a visit, even if it is far off the 鈥渢ypical鈥� tourist trail in Serbia. The city is a treat for anyone interested in culture and architecture!

I鈥檇 heard from many locals that it鈥檚 an absolute must-see, and since it was now my second time in northern Serbia without making it further north than聽Kikinda, I decided to finally make the trip up to Subotica. ......
