- In this week's travel vlog we visit Subotica, which we truly enjoyed exploring. Don't miss this city in northern Serbia (Vojvodina)!
We start our day in Subotica in the city center where we admire the City Hall which was built in a beautiful Hungarian Art Nouveau style. We then go to a restaurant called Lipa for some breakfast. We eat different types of Burek, including a unique Pizza Burek! We then stroll through the streets of the city a little bit more. We buy popcorn with Serbian seasoning from a street stall and make our way to Subotica Synagogue. After some more sightseeing we go to a restaurant called Sarajevo for the final Cevapi and Serbian sausage during our Serbian travel.
Don't miss our next video in Serbia where we try some Serbian snacks and candy!

We almost skipped Subotica but we are really glad we decided to make a stop there! It looked a lot different than Belgrade and Novi Sad and it was very cute and had a unique charm to it. As we mentioned, in our next video we'll be trying a bunch of Serbian snacks and candy, and we pretty much bought everything we saw in the supermarket in Serbia 😂. Afterwards we'll be in another former Yugoslavian country, so we hope you'll stick around! 😊 Thanks for watching! Hvala! 🙂 - Brandon & Anja

We had a great time! We have a Serbian snack video coming out next. 😁
Subotica is the 5th most populated settlement in Serbia, it's actually one of the bigger towns
It had quite a "small town" vibe that we liked. Very walkable, and super beautiful. We only had one day there, unfortunately. Wish we had booked two nights!
Kako 5 o ? Kad su posle be hwa i novog sada moze da bude jedino 3 ca po broju st.
Fun fact - at the moment of the creation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918), Subotica was the third most populated city in the country, after Belgrade and Zagreb.
I think that Subotica were approximately same size as Belgrade and Zagreb, if not even bigger. All three cities had about 100.000 inhabitants.
During '70's Subotica were somewhat more populated , with 120.000 + people. It shrieked in population. Zagreb is 10x bigger, now. Belgrade , maybe 18 x , in last 100 years.
No, Subotica was bigger than Belgrade, but it has kept its charm and there are many Art Nouveau buildings. It's a pity they didn't show Sinagoga from the inside, which is unique and breathtaking
Urban legend. Not really truth, it was counting all the areas around city, if you look old buildings in Zagreb and Belgrade up to WW1 and compare to Subotica, you will see much more in Belgrade and Zagreb, in Subotica there is like 30 buildings in small center.
It's a beautifull city, for Serbia, city with nice architecture, but it cannot be compared to Timisoara or Szeged, not to mention Zagreb or Belgrade, in architecture legacy
So happy you like my people...our food and our hosspitallity...you have a biggest fan....thnx
We loved it all! We can't wait to go back and explore more of the south, and try out some of the recommendations we received. We hope to visit Niš next time. 😃
I am a bit embarrassed to never have visited Subotica, but after your video, I really want to go!
It was absolutely worth a visit. We enjoyed ourselves in all three cities we visit, so we can't wait to return! We have had do many great recommendations for next time. The south will be next!
Drago mi je da vam se dopalo kod nas,sledeći put posetite neki pravoslavni hram,najpopularniji je hram Svetog Save u Beogradu,svako dobro.Dobrodošli ponovo❤
The church is sitting on an old riverbed, the ground is soft under it and thats why it cracked 😀 also vegeta is basically crushed, dried vegetables and salt. Hope you liked Subotica!!😊
Oooooh, very interesting! It was quite the sight.
I'm pretty sure Vegeta exists here in Hungary as well, but we'd never tried it. Wish we knew how good it was!
We really liked it. We had barely seen any other TH-camr content on it, so we were very pleasantly surprised. 😃
@@wherearewe-yt That is basically MSG :D
@@user-by6ri3cu4y That's why it tastes so good! Hahaha.
The church was built a long time ago (1779). That time there were no good static solutions for that size church. The foundations are collapsing and the church split in half. Currently, a solution to the problem cannot be found.
Nice video! Like it!
It looked really nice. I hope they'll find a way to fix it!
Thanks for watching! 😊
About paprika... They are one the most produced veggie in Serbia, south part of country is the well known for best paprika grown there.
I (Brandon) love spicy peppers like that! Anjas delicate German tastebuds are not a fan of anything even remotely spicy. 😂
you should have visited Raichle's Palace while in Subotica, that's probably the most beautiful building in Subotica ... and Palic lake, it's right next to Subotica
Unfortunately, we had less than in Subotica, so we didn't quite get to do all the things we had wanted. We kind of added Subotica at the end, as a little bonus because it broke up the bus journey back home to Budapest. It ended up being one of our favorite spots. Such a charming little city!
Wish all the best my child, greetings from Belgrade,God bless you ❤😘😘😘🍻🍻🍻
Thank you very much!
echt nice dass es euch gefällt 🎉 ich wünsch euh noch den besten spaß und das leckerste essen ❤
Dankeschön 😊
Have a nice trip home, hope you enjoyed
We made it home safely! But we have ONE last Serbia snacks video, so don't forget to watch, and let us know what we missed!
I always enjoy these videos that you make and I hope to see more of it
We've got a Serbian snack video coming up next!
Eyooooo, thank you for this video !!!!
No problem! We enjoyed ourselves.
Looks so good!
Super cute city! And the food was delicious, as always.
I haven’t been to this part of Serbia since 1965, when I was 4 years old.
My grandmother and her family are close by in Novi Kneževac.
Although my grandmother is buried in Belgrade, her old sister (much beloved) is buried in Novi Kneževac. I have to make the pilgrimage… but was born in Canada and still live here.
My mother’s side are from Southern Ireland. County Waterford in a small town called Dungarvan.
So I grew up half Serbian half Irish. Weird mix… but it worked. My parents were married for 55 years until my father passed away.
You should definitely make the pilgrimage! You have any living family left in Serbia?
Hi, from Novi Kneževac brate 👋
You should visit, we would love to have you, explore Belgrade, explore Subotica, explore Serbia
I love Subotica as well
It's a great city! Quite beautiful.

Суботица је била седиште првог Српског Царства у овом делу Европе . Цар се звао Јован Ненад , споменик је код Градске куће
Well done, Nice vidéo 👍 Vive la Serbie 🇷🇸 🇷🇸 🇷🇸
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
You have very nice videos and you two are a cute couple. I'm sorry that you haven't stayed in Serbia yet, I hope you will come again soon and stay longer. Waiting video with snacks :)
Thanks so much! Next time we will most likely visit the south, especially Nis.
Come to kraljevo, a beautiful place😁
@@wherearewe-ytIf you were to stay in Belgrade then, my recommendations (which are bypassed by many TH-camrs) would be:
1. Ada Ciganlija; 2. Nikola Tesla museum (several times during the day there is a guide in English); 3. Museum of Yugoslavia (during communism); 4. Avala tower.
I cant wait for you guys to come and revisit Serbia again, but the south of it. The food is equally or more delicious and the prices are ridiculous.
We plan on coming back for the south next time, for sure! We have had many recommendations. 😃
@@wherearewe-yt Cant wait to see that video. You will laugh at 20 cents delicous icecream scoop for example. 😂
@@vondysha That sounds amazing. 😳
@@wherearewe-yt And Im not even from south im just digging that part of Serbia for all the perks it has. Hope to see you soon here. Thanks for lovely videos. ❤
Beautiful town! ❤❤❤
It really was! We enjoyed it.
uida ich bekomm wieder anderst den hunger von dem video 😂😅
Im nächsten Video essen wir Serbische Süßigkeiten und Snacks. Dann kriegst du vielleicht noch mehr Hunger 😆😊
Pizza-burek is amazing!
Nice you had good time in Serbia and my town, Subotica! Come back soon!
We loved pizza burek. So good!
Best one is lasagna burek :) you mised that one @@wherearewe-yt
Baka mi je iz Subotice došla u Bg davne 1943 godine. Tu se udala, rodila mog tatu i ostavila mi u zapisima lepote Vojvodjanskih recepata: knedle, gumboce, nasuva, šuf nudle.....recepti kakvih nema u ostatku Srbije. Jako jako dugo nisam bila u Subotici ali ovaj video me je na to pokrenuo sada, da odem i uživam u Vojvodjanskim ukusima. Tako nedostaje baka 😢
I'm sorry about your grandma. I'm sure she's proudly watching you whenever you cook her delicious recipes 😊. Subotica was very pretty.
Guys,ok and ladies 😂, you're great, and I think that Serbs adore you. You represented our country in the best way and I want to thank you for that. I really enjoyed your videos and hope that you enjoyed your stay in Serbia as well.....
Thank you! We had a great time in Serbia. We hope to come back again.
Love u and love Serbiaaaaa❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the support! 😍
I was there for two months the end of summer until the end of October. I ❤'d it so much I'm going back towards the end of April. It is a nice place to chill out and relax after busy Belgrade, especially at Lake Palic, which is nearby. Edit: There's a teeny tiny movie theater in the center of the city too! The films (in English) start at 8:30 p.m. and I think it cost 3 Dinar to see one. It's actually right around the corner from "Sarajevo" where you had dinner! I like Subotica better than Novi Sad as well.
Would have loved to check out the theater! We love old school cinemas. We really enjoyed it there. Wish we had more time to see the lake, but we only had 24 hours. 😅
👏👏👏🇷🇸 Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Danke ., mmm Ćevapčići sind tipisch Serbisch essen 😋🥰 Burek auch . Subotica👍
War alles sehr lecker! 😊
U welcome in Subotica anytime!
Hvala! :)
❤❤❤
You guys should also check out Sombor if you liked Subotica. 🙂
I just looked up photos of Sombor and it looks very nice! Thanks for the recommendation! 😊
😍😍🤩🤩👏👏👍👍
Yes we love Piza 😅 and we have good street food
❤🇷🇸
The closer to Hungary you get the spicier the food gets!
I (Brandon) love spicy food! Anja isn't as much of a fan..haha.
Come to Leskovac, the barbecue capital of the world 😀
We like likely go there, and to Niš, on our next trip! Everyone said the food is the best in these cities.
Saturday city-Subotica
Do you know why it is called that?
SERBIA Best Forever !
One of the biggest cities of Serbia - fifth by the population.
It very much has a small town vibe! We enjoyed it.
Hi I live in serbia today I went to Subotica my grandmothers live hire but I live in LJUTOVO
We enjoyed ourselves in Subotica! It's a nice city. We have never been to Ljutovo before though.
Did you visit Palic? That is a nearby village, that has the oldest tourist tradition in our country. Try over there the restaurant "Jelen" and "Majkin Salas", "Mala Gostiona", "Omega" and go to the spa centre to try the healing "brown" water. Also go for a walk around the lake. It truly is a shame if you visit Subotica and not go to Palic.
We actually never even heard of Palic until people mentioned it in the comments! Someone else mentioned it as well. If we had known, we would have visit.
@@wherearewe-yt Wow,that's interesting😊,because if you plan to go to Subotica and search what to do, first thing comes up is lake Palic(among other thing to,of course). To bad you missed it, but next time maybe😊I miss my city😍, greetings form Canada😊
Look guys, you're nice and nitty preety, thanks for nice words and comments, but Belgrade is a 2 days city break tour, Novi Sad and Subotica daily excursion thing...
If you come to enjoy in sins such as tobacco, alcohol, partying, food and observing/beeing with beautiful people you can spend a few days more in SRB...
We were actually in Belgrade for 4 days, Novi sad 2 days, and Subotica 1 day. You're right, Belgrade definitely deserves more time than the others, since we didn't even get to see everything there (we even missed the Saint Sava Church😅).
We didn't have time to do too many sinful things in Serbia this time around. Maybe next time 😆🙃
You should have gone into synagogue and city hall! You have missed a lot by not going. 🙂
You're right! We were a bit short on time, so we were trying to fit everything in before dark. We had less than 24 hours there. We wish we would have booked TWO nights.
In Serbia you must eat (and that is the true heart of Serbian cuisine):
Karađorđeva šnicla,
Pihtije,
Pečena paprika sa belim lukom,
Riblja čorba,
Sremska kobasica,
Stelja,
Turšija,
Proja,
Kolenice u saftu,
Glava u škembetu,
Podvarak,
Škembici,
Ajmokac,
Leskovačka mućkalica,
Praseće pečenje,
Jagnjeće pečenje,
Practically, you tried only tourist menu. Above will expand your sight big time.
Did you watch our food video yet? We ate a bunch of things there, including some in your list.
We are Leskovačka Mućkalica at some point, but the restaurant was too dark to film. Delicious!
Vegeta.. Its dryed onions, celery and carrots, then minced and combined with salt an pepper...
It was so tasty! We realized that they actually sell Vegeta in Budapest as well but we had never noticed it before.
Subotica already had 100.000 people in 1900! cities around here experiencing decline in population so yeah, what now seems small cities and towns were much more important over 100 years ago. if you visited some smaller towns in Vojvodina(Serbia) you would be amazed how beautiful buildings are there. Sombor, Zrenjanin, Vrsac, Kikinda, Senta...
We really enjoy smaller towns and cities. We plan on coming back to Serbia at some point - so hopefully we can visit one in the future. Niš is somewhere we plan on returning to for sure, so maybe we'll end up in a smaller city somewhere in the south.
@@wherearewe-yt smaller towns in south have not so nice architecture vs north, but energy down there is better. have fun guys wherever you are and go. love from Zrenjanin Serbia
Hi I live In serbia
Visti palic and sombor its rly near Subotica
We're gone from Serbia now, but maybe some day we can come back and see more. 😀
The paprika was spread to Europe through the Ottoman empire, and it was used for food in Serbian region for centuries and became stable from South in Leskovac to the north at Horgosh. Eventually, it found its way to Hungary around the Horgoš area which is bordering with Serbia. This area brings forth some of the best paprika (plant and produce is called Paprika). It was not up until 19th century that Paprika was used as food in Hungary, before that it was ground paprika used as medicine. It became hugely popular in Hungary, and became widespread as "Paprika" in its ground format. This is why people say Paprika in western countries, they mean ground version, but in reality the real name is Paprika that stems from Papar or Biber (black pepper, because it was hot like black pepper). The one you had is called Ljuta Papricica (hot pepper, diminutive), and is often served with grilled meat around the springtime.
I love paprika of all types! Though I (Brandon) particularly love spicy versions. Anja not so much. 😅
@@wherearewe-yt Ljutenica (Lyutenitza) and Pindjur (Pinjur) is something you have to try then. Ajvar was used in Belgrade restaurants like "Red Caviar", hence the name. When Romania built a dam, population of sturgeons and caviar served in Serbia reduced, so paprika was used like a substitute, or a "poor man's caviar".
You should 100% go to the city of Niš next time, solely for the sake of the food.
10:27 😅
She can't handle any sort of spice..but she tried. 😂🥵
@@wherearewe-yt it is noticeable 😅👍🤘
Subotica is not one of the smallest cities in Serbia. It's one of the largest.
I said that because I viewed cities and towns as two different things. There's no universal rule to this but places of less than 100k residents are often called towns and places with more than that are cities. And Subotica only has a little over 100k. At least that was my logic 😅. I didn't mean that Subotica was one of the smallest places in general in Serbia. I'm aware that there are many other smaller places in Serbia but I guess I viewed those as towns and villages. Maybe I should have said "major cities" instead since many people seemed to be confused about my word choices 🤓 🙃.
Subotica is 5th largest city in Serbia…it used to be 3rd largest city in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
It had such a small town vibe! We come from much larger countries, so in comparison a city of only 100K is considered quite small. It was very walkable, which we enjoyed.
@@wherearewe-yt size doesn't matter lol
come to Croatia
We have been to Croatia once, but only to Dubrovnik. We definitely need to go back and make some videos! It's a beautiful country.
So where do you think you would live?
Belgrade, Subotica or Novi sad?
Subotica is beautiful and was fun to visit, but we typically prefer living in bigger cities, like Belgrade. More food and bar options, better connected to travel to other places as well!
Welcome to my city greetings for you and sweet voice ❤❤
Hvala!
Can you go to Macedonia❤😊
We will likely go there in a few months! 😁
@@wherearewe-yt ty
Favourite food so far in Serbia? :)
Oh, man..that's a tough question! For Anja, she is obsessed with burek. We loved everything we had, but my favorite dish of the whole trip was from Cevaplija, in our first video. We had these meatballs, with caramelized onions and kajmak. And the bread was just so fresh, and amazing. I'm a sucker for ANY grilled meat dish, with freshly baked bread. That's also why I love komplet lepinja as well. I also love sarma.
So many great dishes though. Too hard to choose! Hahaha.
Da li samo meni ova devojka liči na Fibi iz prijatelja 😂
Haha, you're the second person who said this actually 😂
vegeta is croatian seasoning
Yeah, we found that out later. We love it!
0:44 official ethnic composition: 35% Serbs, 30% Hungarians, 10-15% Croats, 10-15% Bunjevci. Others are: Gypsies, Germans, Rusins(unique people from Ukraine), Bulgarians, Slovaks,...
no shade on you or anything i promise!! but on english it's actually spelled "rusyns" not rusins. people who don't speak a slavic language likely wont know what "rusin" is. also, when speaking english, you're also expected to say roma. the term gypsy might be offensive to some people.
@@collared the term is not necessarily offensive as is potentially incorrect; not all gypsies are Roma, there are Irish travelers etc.
0:25 ha ha ha It is a from a perspective of germano-canadian people, from serbian perspective, Subotiica is a big city, 5. and 6. the bigest city in Serbia together with Leskovac, far south of Serbia.
1. Belgrade, northern part, capital of Serbia, 1 700 000 metro area, whole city with suburbs, not just urban part.
2. Novi Sad. northern part, capital of region of VOJVODINA, city has 360 000 people, metro area. Vojvodina is together with central region, the bigest region in the country.
3. Niš, southern part, capital, 275 000 metro area.
4. Kragujevac, central part, capital. Central region is the bigest region in Serbia, name is ŠUMADIJA, it means FOREST LANDs, FOREST=ŠUMA on serbian. 190 000 metro area.
5. Subotica and Leskovac, both around 140 000 people, metro area, not just urban area of the city.
In Serbia, we also count Kosovo and Metochia as one of regions. Capital is Priština, 500 000 people after wars, before wars, 150 000.
Btw, Vojvodina, it means DUKEs LANDs. DUKE=VOJVODA on serbian.
In comparison to where we are from, the populations of the cities seem quite small for sure!
We plan to head to Kosovo when we return to the region. That'll be interesting. 😅
You didn't visit Nish, larger than Novi Sad, and best grill and burek in Srbija. You didn't visit Ortodoks church.
Unfortunately, we were only around for less than two days, so we didn't get to see much of anything! Maybe next time.
Pity you did not have gulas, punjene paprike, gomboce, steamed beef in horseradish sauce, etc etc.Come back again, you won't be sorry
We live in Hungary, so a few of the popular dishes from Subotica are similar to what we get there. Anja wanted to have cevapi and burek one last time before we left - she's obsessed!
Beef in horseradish sauce sounds amazing though!! Yum.
Hello Brandon and Anja,I wish you a cool last Day in Serbien..
Zeigt uns bitte noch viele schöne Videos,es macht viel Freude euch zuzuschauen.😊😊👍🦪🦞🥫🫕🍤🫕🥗🍲.
@@heikesandig8815 Danke Mamilein! Bald kommen Videos aus Slowenien :)
Bist du Deutsche?
Ja, ich (Anja) komme aus Berlin 🙂
Deshalb kommt mir dein Gesicht bekannt vor 😅🤭
There is one rule, never eat ćevapi with кеčap :D
Is it a Bosnian thing?? The restaurant was called Sarajevo..but we've been to Bosnia, and I don't ever remember having ćevapi with ketchup. I don't like it that way. Haha.
FUJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ-WHY SHE EATS SENF WITH KAJMAK IN BREAD ! NOT GOOD TASTE ! BUT AFTER YOUR TRIP IN SRBIJA SHE IS NOT SO THINY LIKE BEFORE ! THIS IS GOOD BRANDON BRAVOOOOOOOOO !!!!
She's German, she loves senf! Hahaha.
Fuuuuujjjjjjj at your comment.
Fuck the pepsi, fuck the pizza, all we need gibanica 🎉
We had gibanica in our first video. It was great. 😎
Be aware of migrants there, travel during the day only and have your wallet chained to your waiste. Do not go to isolated streets and alleys. Other than that nice city and nice local people.
It didn't seem very unsafe there. We enjoyed it! Wish we had a bit more time there.
Vojvodina was like the Serbian state, but under the occupation of Austria-Hungary, not Hungary...
True history is rarely on Wikipedia... Previous name - Serbian Vojvodina later The Duchy of Serbia and the Banat of Tami on the whole with Vojvoda Stratimirović, Serbian not Vojvođanin. Formed by the patriarch Rajačić, the priest. The territory where the majority was Serbs and still are/we are today such have/we have equal rights as and all minorities living in this area and which they must respect the laws of this country. The so-called "autonomous" are coming from the communist families they introduced autonomy where it should not be and who also ran away from history lessons.
We didn't realize that it is an autonomous region until later. The history is pretty interesting and it definitely felt like a mix of different places.
@@wherearewe-yt It's not autonomous like independent, it was, now its not and it never be, because even the USA, CIA and other want it, it will never be because Serbs are the majority!
you did not see Palic ... guys! Beautiful lake near Subotica :D In Serbia you didn't see so many wonderfully thing and places... yup the only two words in Serbian language everyone in the world is using is paprika and vampire ( vampir) :D
Unfortunately, we had less than 24 hours in Subotica so we didn't manage to see much else. We had others tell us we should have went there as well!
