This video is about my visit to the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia.

The Petrovaradin Fortress is one of the best things to do in Novi Sad and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.

Standing tall over the Danube River, the Petrovaradin Fortress is a significant military fort - the second largest in Europe.

Construction of the Fortress was started in 1692 to provide protection for the Austrian Army against the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Army.

It was built during the Habsburg Dynasty control of Serbia giving the Fortress it's typical 18th century Austrian Style.

The best part about visiting Petrovaradin is they're beautiful clock tower at the Ludwig Bastion.

This is a picturesque clock with a unique design. The little hand indicates the minutes while the bigger hand represents the hours.

Another interesting feature about Petrovaradin Fortress is the network of underground tunnels surrounding the Fortress.

Many of these tunnels are abandoned and haven't been explored in hundreds of years.

Getting too Petrovaradin Fortress is easy.

It's possible to walk from the old town of Novi Sad in under 30 minutes.

Public transportation is available to reach the Fortress as well.
