Cycling day trip from Novi Sad to Stari Grad

Get ready for an unforgettable ride from the vibrant city of Novi Sad to the historic heart of Belgrade – Stari Grad! This journey covers a bit over 104 km, mostly along quiet roads and peaceful tracks, with a gentle mix of river plains and low hills (expect around 620 meters of climbing in total).

You’ll start in Novi Sad, Serbia's laid-back second city, famous for its Petrovaradin Fortress and lively festival scene. Leaving the Danube behind, you’ll wind your way south, soaking up scenic views, rolling farmland, and small villages. The route runs mainly on asphalt and paved surfaces, but you’ll hit stretches where the surface is less defined—nothing too wild, just be ready for a little gravel.

After several hours in the saddle, you’ll cruise into Stari Grad, Belgrade’s bustling old town. Here, cobbled streets, historic architecture, and vibrant cafés are waiting to greet you—and maybe reward you with a celebratory drink by Knez Mihailova Street or Kalemegdan Park.

Pack snacks, fill your bottles, and set your playlist: this route gives you a perfect mix of Serbia’s nature and city energy!
