Trg Slobode, Liberty Square, is the heart of the old centre — a long open plaza closed at one end by the neo-Gothic Name of Mary Catholic Church and along one side by the Hungarian-style Novi Sad City Hall, both of them painted in the warm yellow that defines so much of Vojvodina. The statue in the middle is Svetozar Miletić, the 19th-century Serbian mayor and politician.
The square is the natural starting point for a wander through the old town. Pull up a chair at one of the cafes along the south side, watch the trams trundle past, and then start working your way down Dunavska or Zmaj Jovina towards the river.
