I drove out to Novi Sad over the weekend to check it out. Overall, it's a really nice little city. The old town is amazing. Great for wandering around and taking in the sights. The residential neighborhoods are pretty decent too (though not all of them—some are pretty sketchy). I even thought about maybe settling down there. But when I got back to Belgrade, I immediately noticed how much more lively it is—there's actual energy, traffic, people moving faster. Guess I'm not quite ready for complete peace and quiet yet.

It's actually pretty cool how I ended up exploring the residential areas first instead of the tourist spots. Really changes how you perceive a city.
