good

This small city offers a relaxed atmosphere with welcoming locals and widespread English fluency, making it easy for visitors to get around. Prices for food, drinks, and transport are generally low, making it a budget-friendly destination. There are also plenty of Airbnb accommodations available, providing flexible lodging options.

However, the city does have some drawbacks to consider. Indoor smoking is still common, especially in restaurants, which can be unpleasant or unhealthy if you're sensitive to smoke. Additionally, the air quality suffers during the winter months, which might be a concern for those with respiratory issues. While dining is affordable, the restaurant scene is not especially impressive in terms of quality or variety.

Overall, it’s a good destination for a low-cost, easygoing stay, especially if you're not too fussy about dining or air quality.

AI-generated summary of reviews
57 years ago

This is a really cute little city with friendly people, high level of English and good prices. Restaurants were so-so, smoking everywhere which is terrible if you want to be able to eat your meal without choking on smoke, and bad air quality in winter. Beyond those two negative points, it has a lot to offer.

1,200 remote workers in Novi Sad now, of which 2+ members checked in (some members are set to private)

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
