You can admire Subotica with your eyes, but to really understand the city, you also need to taste it.
Join a local guide for a small-group walk combining Subotica's colourful Art Nouveau heritage with the everyday flavours of northern Serbia. Instead of separating sightseeing from lunch, food becomes part of the journey as you stop at local bakeries and grill spots along the way.
Step inside the magnificent Subotica City Hall and discover the decorative details and stories behind one of the city's defining buildings. Continue to the Subotica Synagogue, another remarkable example of Hungarian Art Nouveau and an important part of the city's multicultural heritage.
Between the landmarks, discover another side of Subotica.
Stop at a local bakery to taste burek, the crispy layered pastry that is an essential part of everyday life across the Balkans. Learn why people argue about what a “real” burek is, how it differs across the region, and why locals traditionally pair it with yogurt.
Later, visit a local grill for a taste of pljeskavica, one of Serbia's favourite street foods, served in flatbread with traditional accompaniments such as onion, ajvar or kajmak.
Complete the experience with a local drink. Depending on preference and age, this can include a non-alcoholic local option or a small tasting of rakija for guests aged 18 and over.
Along the way, see landmarks including the Raichle Palace, Freedom Square and the historic city centre, while hearing how Hungarian, Serbian, Jewish, Croatian, Bunjevac and other influences came together to create Subotica's distinctive character.
This is not just a sightseeing walk and not just a food tour. It is an introduction to the city through its architecture, stories, everyday habits and flavours.
Come hungry.
