During this trip (if
you’re asking which, make sure to read this SashaDollCloset post), I decided to
visit several cities throughout Serbia & Greece. Besides just sharing
outfits I will also share with you a little bit info about each city (most of
them anyway). I know you can probably find better more professional photos
online at a click of a button, but I’m sharing photos of these cities as seen
through my eyes. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
You’ve already had a
chance to view some photos from my visit to Western Serbia as seen in these
posts, and today I share with you a new outfit and only some of the photos of
beautiful city Novi Sad. This is the second largest city in Serbia but compared
to Belgrade still significantly smaller. It has a completely different vibe
then Belgrade. Belgrade is big, rough, fast paced, sometimes confusing, not
perfectly planned, and located on 7 hills, while Novi Sad is a complete
opposite. It’s located in Vojvodina region (northern part of the country) which
is known for its flat lands. It’s perfectly planned with no illegally built
buildings (yes Belgrade is full of those), relaxed vibe and is much more easy
going. Even their dialect is slower and more chill.
Have you heard of
music festival Exit? It’s one of the biggest ones in Europe. Well, Exit is held
in Novi Sad between the walls of the fortress located on the other side of
Danube river overlooking the city, and it takes place in early July. The bridge
towards the fortress gets closed and you have to walk all the way to the
fortress. Don’t worry, this is not a hard task but does require comfortable
shoes. Watch out not to get too drunk during your walk and pass out before you
even make it to the fortress. The bridge is converted to a party of its own.
With music blasting and alcohol being sold along the way, you may want to
reserve your first festival night to the bridge alone and the next few nights
for the fortress and actual concerts.
Exit festival & its
happenings are quite a contrast to this city’s usual vibe and feel. Most of
it’s architecture and perfectly positions squares reflect Astro-Hungarian era
and give a vibe of a very cultured city, sometimes somewhat snobbish. City
centre is fairly quiet during the day in the summer, mostly due to high
temperatures, but don’t miss out on visiting it in the evening. Nothing better
than taking an early evening stroll & dinner in one of many beautiful cafes
and restaurants, and then later in the evening, getting lost in smaller streets
surrounding the square and do some bar hopping. You’ll have a hard time
choosing just one bar, trust me.
The summer in Serbia
has been beyond hot. 40C degrees near water is one thing, but picture 40C
degrees on asphalt and cement: it’s quite a different experience. Best time to
leave the house is in the early morning and in the evenings. During the day,
unless you’re on the pool or by a river, you should not be outside. With this
kind of weather it’s really hard to wear any clothes. As public nudity is still
not allowed here (though if this weather continues in the next years, it just
may become a thing) I had to wear some clothes out, but they were minimal.
Shorts & sleeveless top were it for me. Even the slides and the bag made me
too hot. These shorts are from Levi’s (which I wore all last year and don’t
plan to give them up as long as I can fit into them – this is becoming harder
the longer I stay here and eat) and the top is from H&M. Only natural
material can be worn here. I wore a polyester top one day and came back home
with my top fully glued to me by the sweat.
Let me know what youthink of these posts, what you like/don’t like, and what you’d like to see more
of.
Another outfit and
post from this beautiful city will follow soon. Till then,
Ciao!
