Departure from Belgrade and a drive to the extreme north of Serbia. Arrival in Subotica – a town of Art Nouveau style, cultural heritage, and multicultural spirit. Close to the Hungarian border, Subotica is famous as the border between Central Europe and the Balkans and a crossroad of nations that traveled around south-eastern Europe.On a city tour explore Freedom Square, City Hall, the National Theater, City Library, Serbian Orthodox Church, Subotica Synagogue, City Museum, Franciscan Monastery, and Saint Teresa of Avila Cathedral. The Family Palace of Raichle is an unforgettable site of Subotica. It is inspired by folklore traditions, colorful houses of villages, leaves, and exceptional impression and gives a feeling of harmony thanks to its carved gates, floral and heart ornaments. The lunch break will take place in Subotica. We are sure that the local delicacies and Vojvodina’s dynamic will relax and slow you down.
After a perfect warm-up, we’ll drive to Palić Lake which stretches between the great rivers Danube and Tisa, presenting richness of both nature and culture which is especially reflected in the luxurious villas. The tales about the Golden era of this area will bring us back to the time when the beaches were divided into male and female, and the glamorous parties and fancy lifestyle garnered much attention.
We finish with the excellence of this region, the wine. The Pannonian sea which during the Prehistoric period covered this surface has left hectares of sandy soil, perfect for the produce of so-called „sand wines“. The wine-growing tradition here is more than 2.000 years old as the sandy terrain and mild climate create ideal conditions for growing Italian Riesling, Pino blanc, Hungarian Ezerjo, Merlot, Cabenet Franc, Pinot noir and Cabernet. The exquisite representative of winemaking is the Zvonko Bogdan winery. A visit to its complex will show us how the modern technology of production, a business savvy marketing approach, and the traditional architecture of Palić can make a splendid blend, worth of attention and respect.
