Petrovaradin Fortress climbs a limestone bluff above the Danube, its clock tower famous locally for having hands that run backwards relative to their length, the hour hand longer than the minute hand so river boats could read the time from a distance. Built by the Habsburgs through the 17th and 18th centuries, its underground tunnel network runs for kilometres beneath the walls.
Every July since 2000, EXIT Festival takes over those same fortress walls, drawing crowds well over 100,000 for one of Southeast Europe's largest music events, an odd but effective pairing of Baroque military architecture and modern electronic and rock acts. Outside festival season, Fruska Gora National Park just south of the city holds 16 working Serbian Orthodox monasteries scattered through its hills, a quieter draw for heritage-focused groups.
