Novi Pazar

It cannot be denied that Novi Pazar is the most Muslim city in Serbia . Located in the central part of the country , it is distinguished not only by the architecture with soaring minarets, but also by the atmosphere prevailing there. It is a slightly different face of Serbia, which is still closer to the Ottoman Empire, mainly due to the buildings that have survived from that period to the present day.

The ruins of the fortress are definitely worth seeing , as well as the ruins of the Turkish baths . Novi Pazar is a kind of springboard from typical Serbian, Orthodox towns and cities, hence it is worth visiting, even for a moment. And if you have more time, be sure to visit several places around the city, such as the Durdevi Stupovi Monastery, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

For whom?

Visit Novi Pazar if you want to get a complete picture of the country during your stay in Serbia. This Balkan state is much more diverse than it might seem at first glance. Of course, there is no such cultural melting point as in Bosnia and Herzegovina , because Serbia is more cohesive in its own way. However, this consistency is somewhat disturbed by Novi Pazar.
