Serbia loves you back! Thanks for the interesting insights and honest reviews. Also very nice to see someone actually knowing the history behind the monuments and cities and finding it interesting. Well done with the content!
I cannot believe how well preserved those beautiful buildings are! Thanks for showing us Subotica. And well done with the drone shots - the fountain looks amazing from above!
Hi there, new subscriber. I was recently in Subotica for two months! I was only supposed to stay for one, but my Airbnb was so comfortable and I was so enamored with Subotica I extended my stay. It is so green! All the beautiful trees in the parks and lining the streets astounded me - and the food - blew my mind! I just felt very comfortable and welcomed there. I ate lots of cevapi and gelato, ha-ha. I want to visit 'Renaissance' if I ever get back there and order their goulash! I ❤ goulash but have only had it in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro. And that bread! It's out of this world! Growing up in the U.S. I didn't learn how much the Balkans were affected by WWII; my education was definitely biased! Thanks so much for your video! It brings back such good memories. 🌳🍞🍜🍦🌳
Hei! To answer your quest: I am from Subotica (Szabadka). Firstly i want to thank you for visiting/promoting my city! There are loads of things more to explore, but if you come for the architecture you did a wonderful and amazing little jurney there. I can recommend you going to Palic next time. Once it was the vacation place for rich people from Subotica to go to weekends, and swim there on the made up lake. There are loads of old, and big villas, everybody should see. Now it is kind of a 'different' town, but many people, including people living in Palic, say that it is a part of Subotica. Hope you had a wonderful time!
Hey thanks! Palic will be on my list for sure next time I'm up that way. Subotica is definitely somewhere I'd consider using as a base in future. Or Sombor!
That BURP at the end of your meal, darn sure cracked me UP ! You can't get any more REAL than that ! Now you've put Serbia on my "to do" list.. Thanks ......
That Synagogue!! The most breathtaking interior, the attention to detail, the colour l was legit #SHOCKED. No need to polish a turd all the architecture speaks for itself very classy!! There are no winners in a war and never will be. Even the shape of the bowl the Ghoulash was served in screamed class, it looked so good (BTW love the ashtray on the table won't see that in many places anymore). David you continue to blow me away with the cinematography, l would pay to watch your videos in some Art Deco cinema. Thankyou for sharing and Thankyou for all your work👍

Many thanks! I think it can make a real difference when I'm not in a bad mood or exhausted! Novi Sad and Sombor are up next! (filming this weekend). Novi Sad might be a short one as I don't have much time to film!
@David Szakacs Nope. Hungary lost territory after defeat in WW1. Austria-Hungary started the war, blame yourselves for defeat. Serbia attacked nobody and suffered greatly during the war. Are you blaming Serbia for horrible loss of over 1 milion people or for being victorious in the end?
@David Szakacs Serbia forgive Hungary for attacking us in both world wars but you never forgive Serbia for suffering, losing over 2 milion Serbs in both wars and winning. Should Serbia apologize for defending itself and winning?
@David Szakacs Ferdinand was assasinated by a terrorist, Austro-Hungary just used it as an excuse to invade Serbia which it has been planing for a while
@@davidostrowski679 We are in California these days but itching to travel again. We are planning out an adventure in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. Have you been to any of these places?
Your Serbian videos are top notch. You are informed and engaged historically ---- love it! Too many great TH-cam travel videos have fallen to bad vlogs or non-travel areas.
You're welcome! I can't wait to get back there! The next two videos are in Novi Sad and Sombor. Unfortunately both are in total rain, I'm sure you had the same problem in Subotica this weekend!
Zdravo,iskocio mi je tvoj video u rekomended,ja sam iz Subotice,slazem se sa tobom da je prelepa,ali si mnogo toga propustio,prolustio si obilazak Dudove sume koja je prelepa,Radijalac to ti je ogromno setaliste sa fontanom na pocetku,Palic (Palicko Jezero),Prozivku sa predivnim setalistem i istorijskim spomenikom..i Gabric cuprija most za zaljubljene sa velikom fontanom..Drago mi je sto si snimio Suboticu jer se ponosim sto zivim tamo 🥰 veliki pozdrav
Hej, hvala da, htela sam da idem na Palić, ali jednostavno nisam imala vremena pošto sam planirala da idem u Sombor sledećeg dana. Uvijek imam prilično ograničeno vrijeme pa moram odabrati stvari za video koje bi me zanimale umjesto da pokušavam sve napraviti. Uvek radije provodim više vremena radeći manje nego trošim manje vremena radeći više, ako znate na šta mislim! Definitivno ću se vratiti!

You're welcome! I'm glad this gave you a chance to see inside. I was quite surprised they allowed me to film! Japan! I miss it so much! I hope everything there is ok. I can't wait to get back. I need Family Mart in my life again haha
Sajnálatos, hogy amit a magyarok építettek fel amikor Szabadka még Magyarországhoz tartozott azzal most a szerbek ékeskednek és úgy van beállítva mint ha ezt ők hozták volna létre.
Igen, értem, mire gondol, azt hiszem, ez általános dolog az egész világon, különösen Európának ebben a régiójában, tekintve, hogy a határok az évek során megváltoztak. Alig várom, hogy egyszer eljöhessek Magyarországra.
In the states we were made to believe the U.S. won WWII, Hollywood helped to propagate this in cinema but it was a joint effort with Russia having the biggest influence on the outcome and downfall of Hitler/Germany.
Don't miss the inside of the City Hall in Subotica - it is wonderful. You can go to Sombor next, great architecture as well and it is not too far away, 60 km to the west.
hey thanks for the tip and comment! I was planning to go to Sombor the day after this video, but after going to the bus station to get the 830am bus, I was told there was only one bus at 245pm! I went to the train station but there wasn't one until 1130 so it wouldn't have been enough time to film. I might still go this weekend however! I would have rented a car but I'm currently waiting for a replacement driving licence! Nightmare! Subotica is my new favourite place!
*What did you think of Subotica?* Should I go to Hungary? The music used is intentional to echo what I said about the music in the synagogue feeling like 'The Crown' in case you didn't get that!

Croatia is definitely on the list, probably when I have an EU passport! Thanks for the suggestions! I couldn't get to Sombor. The only bus was at 1445. Fortunately soon I will have a driving licence again which will be useful as I am moving to Užice next week in real time and planning about 5 videos in the south and west. Next up is Novi Sad!
@@davidostrowski679 You can also enter Croatia with a covid vaccination certificate or a negative test. I think Vukovar is an hour's drive from Novi Sad. Osijek is also not far from the border.
I still haven't heard anything from Serbia gov after I 'expressed interest' online about vaccine. I assume its not possible for foreigners and a video or a number of English lesson wouldn't make enough money to cover the cost of a test unfortunately
@@davidostrowski679 While in the north, you can cross the border into Hungary and visit Szeged, it is not too far away and has more of the great architecture.
Do not trust the commentators (mostly Croats) who write that Vojvodina "is not Serbia". The name "Vojvodina" means "duchy" and is abbreviated from the original name of that region, which in its full form was "Vojvodstvo srpsko" or "Serbian duchy" within the then Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Croats hate Serbs. Serbs are the only people in the region of the former Yugoslavia who managed to win their own state. All other peoples (better to say all other identities) are the product of the religious conversion that the conquerors carried out over the conquered Serbs (most Croats are descendants of Serbs converted to Catholics, most Balkan Muslims (so called Bosniaks) are descendants of islamized Serbs), and their present nations and states are the product of hostility, crimes and pogroms towards Serbs and were created with the great and decisive help of foreign, mostly western powers.
I normally just say 'interesting!' to any comment about topics such as this. I always say I'd need a degree in the region's history to fully understand; in fact, I don't think even that would be enough. I was reading something the other day about an independent Vojvodina! Argh!
@@davidostrowski679 People most often associate colonialism with non-European areas, but the tragic truth for us Balkanians is that the Balkans, with all the peoples that inhabit it, have been the subject of colonial manipulations by stronger states. It is the cause of all these divisions and hatred, the old tactic of "divide and rule", so that a single and strong nation could not be created in the Balkans that would be competitive with the Germans, Austrians, Italians ...
@@davidostrowski679 In the end of the day, just how other countries came to be is irrelevant here. There has always been a big Serbian population in Vojvodina even prior to that region becoming a part of Yugoslavia which happened after WW1. Is it a surprise that a country loses territory after losing a major war? It shouldn't be. The point is that Serbia has always respected the Hungarian people and vice-versa, and with them all other minorities in Vojvodina and that's a fact since Hungarians are free to learn and use their own language just like e.g. Romanians and Slovakian people that live there and so on, all minorities are free to express their own cultures there. Now why is that somehow to be seen as "not really Serbia"? Otherwise that model is a European standard that is often promoted elsewhere but somehow, whatever Serbia does it always has to have some negative connotation to it.
Thank you for visiting our city! Glad you enjoyed your stay If anoyone visits, hit me up in your free time for a tour of the best places around town, or to grab a few drinks also not to be a pain in the ass, it just annoys me that every video about subotica shows like the main 1 square kilometer town centre, ant nothing else, the rest of the town is very different believe me XD
Hey! I agree re 1 square kilometer (despite doing it myself). I often film multiple videos in one place (although not in this case at the moment), so the first one is normally aimed at central areas. I then venture out to lesser known areas. For example in my Mexico videos, I started off with the typical tourist destinations and 'pretty' areas, then 150 videos later I'm in hellhole run down residential areas no one goes to! LOL. In other words I do plan to be back in Subotica at some point so I can see the rest of the town! Thanks for the great point!
Subotica is a Hungarian city with many serbs and croats that have mostly moved here after the city was attached to Yugoslavia then Serbia (1920). Yugoslav leaders tried to destroy everything that is Hungarian. They have immigrated slavic people and were killing and chasing Hungarians to leave the territory. They have tried also to destroy the old and beautiful buildings (bulit by Hungarian government) and could destroy some of them like baths. Fortunately most of the buildings still exist but only a few of them is renovated.
@@davidostrowski679 Well to see all Belgrade you probably need a good month. Is a huge City with alot of beautiful streets, history, biuldings and even islands. War Island is basicly a jungle in the midle of river Danube, beautiful forests. Also would recomend cities like- Sremski Karlovci, Vrsac, Golubac, Valjevo, Uzice and Topola. Old cities with diferent stilles....Keep the good work 🇷🇸✊
@@davidostrowski679 Such a shame :( I think it's the most beautiful city in Vojvodina,maybe even in Serbia. If you ever get a chance to visit it again in the springtime or early fall,don't miss it :)
It's interesting to see different perspective of city that I was born in. It's indeed beautiful and full of hysterical monuments. Sadly corruption true the country is pushing more and more people to go away although there is so much there to offer. I hope more people from around the world will visit Serbia and share her beauties. Thank you for this video. You should definitely visit Palić because it's even more amazing. If you take a cab it wouldn't cost you too much but as you said, you could always go with the bus. Good luck there
Thanks Teodara! I have heard a lot of good things about Palić since filming this one, and I do plan to back in Subotica next year. I can only stay in Serbia for 90 days in every 180 days so I'm off to Ukraine in 3 weeks, I'll be back!
I'm from Subotica, thank you for this video, it's beautiful. I suggest that the next time you are in Subotica, in the big city hall in the big hall, you see our weddings. I think they are the most beautiful in the world. Check :)
Szabadka is a beautiful hungarian city, belongs to Serbia. Hungarian achitecture, absolutely similar to many buildings like in Szeged or Kecskemét or Budapest.
@@damirpokornik6363 deep darkness as for Your arguments. Szabadka, Újvidék, Zenta, Zombor, Nagybecskerek are hungarian towns. Kragujevac, Nis, Beograd (Nándorfehérvár) are really serbian.
What a delightful city, a must for the travel trail next year.. That synagogue, had me spell bound .How it survived the Nazi era is beyond me?. Thank you David, for highlighting this city to us. Yes.it has a Hungarian -style about it.
Most of my WW2 History growing up was learned through cinematic movies and TV shows in USA. The Longest Day, Midway, Stalag 17, Bridge on the River Kuai, PT 109, Hogan's Heroes, Black Sheep Squadron, and McHale's Navy.
Hi, David, from El Paso... so sorry you missed El Paso and Ciudad Juarez when you were in Chihuahua! This is such an awesome video and commentary. Hands down, Subotica is home to some strikingly beautiful architecture. Bravo, mate! Serbia is now on my bucket list, thanks to you! I understand the official language there is Serbian, the only language to combine the use of both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. But, I also understand there are minority languages of Hungarian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovak, Albanian, Romanian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian. My question to you: With all of those disparate 'boutique' languages spoken there, is one able to get by in English? (I expect one should learn some basic Serbian, though, too... Right?) I would like to learn your response. Thanks in advance, David.
Hi Markas! In cities like Belgrade and Novi Sad there's a lot of English spoken, similar to Riga I'd say and at an excellent level. Even in smaller cities, most younger people at least speak some English. It's definitely not as much of an issue as in Mexico that's for sure! I know basic Serbian as of course much is similar to Polish and Russian, some vocab is even similar to German.
Well kind of mixed up the facts , architecture of this city is mainly in austria-hungarian style not a french art-nouveau . Although there is some similar details , this is two different architectural styles in European history . Btw well done David .
I first saw the Synogogue a little over a decade ago when it was in a very sorry state. Until Covid struck, being classed as not fully vaccinated thanks to a still unapproved Indian Batch of Astra Zenica, I have not been on my twice a year stay with what has become my 'other family' in Sombor, just under an hour away. I will return as soon as I am able.
I hope you can get back soon sir! In real time I was in Sombor today (its in 2 videos time). Unfortunately the weather has been diabolical all weekend so it was a bit of a wash out, but I really liked it overall!
@@davidostrowski679 Under normal circumstances I would be coming towards the end of a three week stay in Sombor, looking to make my way to Belgrade tomorrow for a flight back on Tuesday. I so miss one of my favourite places - I just hope that everything is sorted by Easter so that I can visit again. Such a shame that the weather was bad, hopefully you can visit again with better weather, however, I would not recommend doing so on a Sunday, it is so much more vibrant during the rest of the week!
Yes, you should visit Budapest. It's gorgeous. No need to visit Zagreb. It's small and dull town. But, you should visit Dubrovnik, which is most beautiful Serbian town, temporarily in Croatia. Or something. Can't remember well these short turn new temporary countries, sorry. Sporty salute !
@@nikolabakich9709 Cro - what ? When you say always, you mean from 1992 ? Because , I'm checking maps and history books right now, I can't find that Croatia before 1992. Oh, there is - 1941-1945 as a Nazi make up state ... But it says that it was ... like Italian at the time ?
Die Synagoge wurde erst vor wenigen Jahren renoviert. Israel und Ungarn haben einen Großteil der Renovierungskosten übernommen. Es finden wunderbare Konzerte statt.
Hi! I hope to return in the future. Even though I was only there for the weekend, I thought it was a great alternative to Belgrade, even to live for a while!
Gorgeous building of the synagogue. This city contrasts with Belgrade, prettier, though Belgrade does have a grand presence as the important city it has been in European history. My impression is that Serbia is becoming integrated with Western Europe little by little with Arab money, my take, the architecture looks like the communist one but l am the materials are prettier. David l saw in Euronews that 42 individuals from the Balkans who were drug dealers. However Italy has had a mafia problem for centuries, maybe poverty is the common denominator, otherwise excellent work as always.
i would have done if I had more time. Unfortunately as I work Monday to Friday I only have the weekend to get away from Belgrade and I was intending to go to Sombor the day after (in the end, I went today!). But I definitely plan to return to Subotica in the future, perhaps to use a base. Loved it!
In Subotica is very little serbian history! Subotica is full of Hungarian history! This is why is Szabadka (Subotica) Hungarian city where the serbs are just 30% of population. And Gulyás is Hungarian not serbian food. Bácska Bánát akarja vissza legyen csatolva... 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺 Oh yes and Szabadka (Subotica) was never occuped by Hungary, it was always and now is too part of Hungary There is no serb gulyás, this is Hungarian Vojvodinian Gulyás what you ate
Well if you listened to the video I clearly said gulaš is Hungarian. Regardless of history, borders don't lie. Subotica is in Serbia. Present tense. The population may be largely Hungarian %wise but that doesn't change the fact Vojvodina is geographically part of Serbia. Chaos LOL
Serbs (Slavs) lived in the area of Subotica while Magyars were still somewhere in Asia beyond the Ural mountains. Also your word for the city (Szabadka) is of Slavic origin. Plus, after the things Magyars have done in both world wars you should be grateful there are still any of you left in Subotica, but Serbs are a tolerant people.
Hi David. Thank you for the nice video about my hometown . it is really nice.I must notice a few small mistakes .I will not name them exactly , but please if you whant to to present a city , learn more about the history of the presented place , because many things what you have said are falsch or they lead to misunderstandings about the history and etc..please do not understand my comment as negative , I wrote it with good intentions.
Hi, like what? I always use multiple sources when researching and much of the information actually came from Serbs who I have known for a long time! I don't just turn up and guess lol Somewhere like Subotica will always have differing views because of its Hungarian history, you can see that in the comments haha
I purposely didn't because when researching there were about 5 different names involved in the design so no matter which one I say it would be wrong to someone. Marcell Komor, Dezsö Jakub and I can't remember the other ones
Serbia loves you back!

Interesting!

Your Serbian videos are top notch. You are informed and engaged historically ---- love it! Too many great TH-cam travel videos have fallen to bad vlogs or non-travel areas.
Gratulesen for yor video.I live in this town.I live in Subotica.Thank you for this video.
You're welcome! I can't wait to get back there! The next two videos are in Novi Sad and Sombor. Unfortunately both are in total rain, I'm sure you had the same problem in Subotica this weekend!
Zdravo,iskocio mi je tvoj video u rekomended,ja sam iz Subotice,slazem se sa tobom da je prelepa,ali si mnogo toga propustio,prolustio si obilazak Dudove sume koja je prelepa,Radijalac to ti je ogromno setaliste sa fontanom na pocetku,Palic (Palicko Jezero),Prozivku sa predivnim setalistem i istorijskim spomenikom..i Gabric cuprija most za zaljubljene sa velikom fontanom..Drago mi je sto si snimio Suboticu jer se ponosim sto zivim tamo 🥰 veliki pozdrav
Hej, hvala da, htela sam da idem na Palić, ali jednostavno nisam imala vremena pošto sam planirala da idem u Sombor sledećeg dana. Uvijek imam prilično ograničeno vrijeme pa moram odabrati stvari za video koje bi me zanimale umjesto da pokušavam sve napraviti. Uvek radije provodim više vremena radeći manje nego trošim manje vremena radeći više, ako znate na šta mislim! Definitivno ću se vratiti!

Thanks hun! I had seconds delivered when I got home lol greedy gobble gannet
I live in Subotica,and this made my day!
So much beauty!
'Subotica' - hidden jewel indeed!!!
Greetings 🖖 my friend!!!👍👍👍👍
Saludos amigo! Hope you're doing well! I miss gorditas!
Thanks for showing us the video.
Great to see inside the synagogue cuz I wasn’t able to enter there when I visited from Japan.
You're welcome! I'm glad this gave you a chance to see inside. I was quite surprised they allowed me to film! Japan! I miss it so much! I hope everything there is ok. I can't wait to get back. I need Family Mart in my life again haha
@@davidostrowski679 Family mart? 🤣what a interesting choice! I hopw you'll get back to Japan soon!
Welcome back Mr.David :D
thank you sir!
Subotica is beautiful. Great that you went into the stunning synagogue.
Loved it!
Sajnálatos, hogy amit a magyarok építettek fel amikor Szabadka még Magyarországhoz tartozott azzal most a szerbek ékeskednek és úgy van beállítva mint ha ezt ők hozták volna létre.
Igen, értem, mire gondol, azt hiszem, ez általános dolog az egész világon, különösen Európának ebben a régiójában, tekintve, hogy a határok az évek során megváltoztak. Alig várom, hogy egyszer eljöhessek Magyarországra.
In the states we were made to believe the U.S. won WWII, Hollywood helped to propagate this in cinema but it was a joint effort with Russia having the biggest influence on the outcome and downfall of Hitler/Germany.
Britain won. LOL
Don't miss the inside of the City Hall in Subotica - it is wonderful. You can go to Sombor next, great architecture as well and it is not too far away, 60 km to the west.
hey thanks for the tip and comment! I was planning to go to Sombor the day after this video, but after going to the bus station to get the 830am bus, I was told there was only one bus at 245pm! I went to the train station but there wasn't one until 1130 so it wouldn't have been enough time to film. I might still go this weekend however! I would have rented a car but I'm currently waiting for a replacement driving licence! Nightmare! Subotica is my new favourite place!
*What did you think of Subotica?* Should I go to Hungary? The music used is intentional to echo what I said about the music in the synagogue feeling like 'The Crown' in case you didn't get that! Videos from Novi Sad and another yet to be undecided location coming soon. Sombor was meant to be the next one but there was only one bus on the day I planned to go!

You should visit Vukovar and Osijek in Croatia. Its not far from Sombor.
Croatia is definitely on the list, probably when I have an EU passport! Thanks for the suggestions! I couldn't get to Sombor. The only bus was at 1445. Fortunately soon I will have a driving licence again which will be useful as I am moving to Užice next week in real time and planning about 5 videos in the south and west. Next up is Novi Sad!
@@davidostrowski679 You can also enter Croatia with a covid vaccination certificate or a negative test. I think Vukovar is an hour's drive from Novi Sad. Osijek is also not far from the border.
I still haven't heard anything from Serbia gov after I 'expressed interest' online about vaccine. I assume its not possible for foreigners and a video or a number of English lesson wouldn't make enough money to cover the cost of a test unfortunately
@@davidostrowski679 While in the north, you can cross the border into Hungary and visit Szeged, it is not too far away and has more of the great architecture.
Loved it some of the architecture is stunning.
My town! 😍
You're very fortunate man!
My hometown
Do not trust the commentators (mostly Croats) who write that Vojvodina "is not Serbia". The name "Vojvodina" means "duchy" and is abbreviated from the original name of that region, which in its full form was "Vojvodstvo srpsko" or "Serbian duchy" within the then Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Croats hate Serbs. Serbs are the only people in the region of the former Yugoslavia who managed to win their own state. All other peoples (better to say all other identities) are the product of the religious conversion that the conquerors carried out over the conquered Serbs (most Croats are descendants of Serbs converted to Catholics, most Balkan Muslims (so called Bosniaks) are descendants of islamized Serbs), and their present nations and states are the product of hostility, crimes and pogroms towards Serbs and were created with the great and decisive help of foreign, mostly western powers.
I normally just say 'interesting!' to any comment about topics such as this. I always say I'd need a degree in the region's history to fully understand; in fact, I don't think even that would be enough.
I was reading something the other day about an independent Vojvodina! Argh!
@@davidostrowski679 People most often associate colonialism with non-European areas, but the tragic truth for us Balkanians is that the Balkans, with all the peoples that inhabit it, have been the subject of colonial manipulations by stronger states. It is the cause of all these divisions and hatred, the old tactic of "divide and rule", so that a single and strong nation could not be created in the Balkans that would be competitive with the Germans, Austrians, Italians ...
@@davidostrowski679 In the end of the day, just how other countries came to be is irrelevant here. There has always been a big Serbian population in Vojvodina even prior to that region becoming a part of Yugoslavia which happened after WW1. Is it a surprise that a country loses territory after losing a major war? It shouldn't be.
The point is that Serbia has always respected the Hungarian people and vice-versa, and with them all other minorities in Vojvodina and that's a fact since Hungarians are free to learn and use their own language just like e.g. Romanians and Slovakian people that live there and so on, all minorities are free to express their own cultures there. Now why is that somehow to be seen as "not really Serbia"? Otherwise that model is a European standard that is often promoted elsewhere but somehow, whatever Serbia does it always has to have some negative connotation to it.
А ти си Шешељев симпатизер.
Realmente es hermosa la ciudad.!😍 saludos David.
absolutemente hermosa mi amiga! Saludos Georgina!
beautiful serbia ...wow
Indeed. Gorgeous!
There is nothing Serb about this city except the ugly brutalist buildings and the flags.
Thank you for visiting our city! Glad you enjoyed your stay
If anoyone visits, hit me up in your free time for a tour of the best places around town, or to grab a few drinks
also not to be a pain in the ass, it just annoys me that every video about subotica shows like the main 1 square kilometer town centre, ant nothing else, the rest of the town is very different believe me XD
Hey! I agree re 1 square kilometer (despite doing it myself). I often film multiple videos in one place (although not in this case at the moment), so the first one is normally aimed at central areas. I then venture out to lesser known areas. For example in my Mexico videos, I started off with the typical tourist destinations and 'pretty' areas, then 150 videos later I'm in hellhole run down residential areas no one goes to! LOL. In other words I do plan to be back in Subotica at some point so I can see the rest of the town! Thanks for the great point!
Subotica is a Hungarian city with many serbs and croats that have mostly moved here after the city was attached to Yugoslavia then Serbia (1920). Yugoslav leaders tried to destroy everything that is Hungarian. They have immigrated slavic people and were killing and chasing Hungarians to leave the territory. They have tried also to destroy the old and beautiful buildings (bulit by Hungarian government) and could destroy some of them like baths. Fortunately most of the buildings still exist but only a few of them is renovated.
Stunning!!!
Yessss!
Greetings from Zemun 🇷🇸✋ Part of Belgrade Great work
Hi! I left Belgrade earlier this week! Went through Zemun a few times on buses this time!
@@davidostrowski679 Well to see all Belgrade you probably need a good month. Is a huge City with alot of beautiful streets, history, biuldings and even islands. War Island is basicly a jungle in the midle of river Danube, beautiful forests. Also would recomend cities like- Sremski Karlovci, Vrsac, Golubac, Valjevo, Uzice and Topola. Old cities with diferent stilles....Keep the good work 🇷🇸✊
Multiethnic and multicultural city, nice video.
While in the north, visit Sombor and Kikinda, for some more architecture geek's pleasures :)
Yep Sombor is in two videos time, I was there on Sunday. Although as you can imagine it wasn't great because of the rain!
@@davidostrowski679 Such a shame :( I think it's the most beautiful city in Vojvodina,maybe even in Serbia. If you ever get a chance to visit it again in the springtime or early fall,don't miss it :)
Wunderschönes Land 😊
It's interesting to see different perspective of city that I was born in. It's indeed beautiful and full of hysterical monuments. Sadly corruption true the country is pushing more and more people to go away although there is so much there to offer. I hope more people from around the world will visit Serbia and share her beauties. Thank you for this video. You should definitely visit Palić because it's even more amazing. If you take a cab it wouldn't cost you too much but as you said, you could always go with the bus. Good luck there
Thanks Teodara! I have heard a lot of good things about Palić since filming this one, and I do plan to back in Subotica next year. I can only stay in Serbia for 90 days in every 180 days so I'm off to Ukraine in 3 weeks, I'll be back!
I'm from Subotica, thank you for this video, it's beautiful. I suggest that the next time you are in Subotica, in the big city hall in the big hall, you see our weddings. I think they are the most beautiful in the world. Check :)
Thanks a lot!Nice video.Nice town and nice people there🤗
Thanks! Gorgeous place indeed!
Szabadka is a beautiful hungarian city, belongs to Serbia. Hungarian achitecture, absolutely similar to many buildings like in Szeged or Kecskemét or Budapest.
Hahahaha
@@damirpokornik6363 deep darkness as for Your arguments. Szabadka, Újvidék, Zenta, Zombor, Nagybecskerek are hungarian towns. Kragujevac, Nis, Beograd (Nándorfehérvár) are really serbian.

But only in dreams
What a delightful city, a must for the travel trail next year.. That synagogue, had me spell bound .How it survived the Nazi era is beyond me?. Thank you David, for highlighting this city to us. Yes.it has a Hungarian -style about it.
Most of my WW2 History growing up was learned through cinematic movies and TV shows in USA. The Longest Day, Midway, Stalag 17, Bridge on the River Kuai, PT 109, Hogan's Heroes, Black Sheep Squadron, and McHale's Navy.
Meine Heimat Stadt!
Hi, David, from El Paso... so sorry you missed El Paso and Ciudad Juarez when you were in Chihuahua! This is such an awesome video and commentary. Hands down, Subotica is home to some strikingly beautiful architecture. Bravo, mate! Serbia is now on my bucket list, thanks to you!
I understand the official language there is Serbian, the only language to combine the use of both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. But, I also understand there are minority languages of Hungarian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovak, Albanian, Romanian, Bulgarian, and Macedonian.
My question to you: With all of those disparate 'boutique' languages spoken there, is one able to get by in English? (I expect one should learn some basic Serbian, though, too... Right?) I would like to learn your response. Thanks in advance, David.
Hi Markas! In cities like Belgrade and Novi Sad there's a lot of English spoken, similar to Riga I'd say and at an excellent level. Even in smaller cities, most younger people at least speak some English. It's definitely not as much of an issue as in Mexico that's for sure!
I know basic Serbian as of course much is similar to Polish and Russian, some vocab is even similar to German.
Well kind of mixed up the facts , architecture of this city is mainly in austria-hungarian style not a french art-nouveau . Although there is some similar details , this is two different architectural styles in European history . Btw well done David .
Thanks man, I was just going by research, everywhere said both Austro-Hungarian and art nouveau so I said both!
I first saw the Synogogue a little over a decade ago when it was in a very sorry state. Until Covid struck, being classed as not fully vaccinated thanks to a still unapproved Indian Batch of Astra Zenica, I have not been on my twice a year stay with what has become my 'other family' in Sombor, just under an hour away.
I will return as soon as I am able.
I hope you can get back soon sir! In real time I was in Sombor today (its in 2 videos time). Unfortunately the weather has been diabolical all weekend so it was a bit of a wash out, but I really liked it overall!
@@davidostrowski679 Under normal circumstances I would be coming towards the end of a three week stay in Sombor, looking to make my way to Belgrade tomorrow for a flight back on Tuesday.
I so miss one of my favourite places - I just hope that everything is sorted by Easter so that I can visit again.
Such a shame that the weather was bad, hopefully you can visit again with better weather, however, I would not recommend doing so on a Sunday, it is so much more vibrant during the rest of the week!
But please dont forget Vojvodina belongs to Hungary
I haven't forgotten. Looking back I didn't mention Hungary enough
I'm from Nis, but I have to go and visit Subotica ^^
I'll be back in Nis in early November!
Carne guisada for lunch it is then!

Vojvodina is Hungary!
No it's not, never will be
Yes, you should visit Budapest. It's gorgeous.
No need to visit Zagreb. It's small and dull town.
But, you should visit Dubrovnik, which is most beautiful Serbian town, temporarily in Croatia. Or something. Can't remember well these short turn new temporary countries, sorry.
Sporty salute !
Oh god, controversial LOL. Yes Budapest was originally planned for March 2020 for my birthday but corona cancelled my flights
Dubrovnik was always croatian if it was serbian the chetniks wouldnt have attacked it 30 years ago
@@nikolabakich9709 Cro - what ?
When you say always, you mean from 1992 ?
Because , I'm checking maps and history books right now, I can't find that Croatia before 1992.
Oh, there is - 1941-1945 as a Nazi make up state ... But it says that it was ... like Italian at the time ?

i am from subotica just letting you know :)
Hi! I hope to return in the future. Even though I was only there for the weekend, I thought it was a great alternative to Belgrade, even to live for a while!
Great video David, i hope you got the accident in your pants cleaned up. -Marc
Haha time to break out the incontinence pants!
Vojvodina is Hungaria the truth
No it's not, majority of the population in vojvodina is serbia
Subotica ♥️👍
my city
Thank you for promoting Serbia. Have you been to the old towns in Montenegro?
You're welcome. Montenegro not yet, it's on the list!
Subotica is beutiful ❤
Gorgeous building of the synagogue. This city contrasts with Belgrade, prettier, though Belgrade does have a grand presence as the important city it has been in European history. My impression is that Serbia is becoming integrated with Western Europe little by little with Arab money, my take, the architecture looks like the communist one but l am the materials are prettier. David l saw in Euronews that 42 individuals from the Balkans who were drug dealers. However Italy has had a mafia problem for centuries, maybe poverty is the common denominator, otherwise excellent work as always.
Gracias Francisco! Definitely very beautiful!
So is it Subotticka or Suboteacher? You say both in the video and I'm now confused
Goulash addicted... lol,👀➡🎞 Cooking Recipe 😃
Vojvodina is hungary
No it's not, and it never will be. Keep crying about it
👍 vizit palic
i would have done if I had more time. Unfortunately as I work Monday to Friday I only have the weekend to get away from Belgrade and I was intending to go to Sombor the day after (in the end, I went today!). But I definitely plan to return to Subotica in the future, perhaps to use a base. Loved it!
its beatuful
Im live in Subotica/ja živim u Subotici
My next trip this year
i'm hoping to be back there later this year too
Travel Mojo returned....
AGAIN! LOL. It's a never ending cycle right

There's a football stadium? Lol
Hey, have you been recording with drone yesterday in the center of Subotica? If yes, i saw you.
Hi this was filmed about 2 weeks ago!
@@davidostrowski679 I thought you maybe came back
I will at some point. In real-time I'm in Užice
In Subotica is very little serbian history! Subotica is full of Hungarian history! This is why is Szabadka (Subotica) Hungarian city where the serbs are just 30% of population. And Gulyás is Hungarian not serbian food.
Bácska Bánát akarja vissza legyen csatolva... 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
Oh yes and Szabadka (Subotica) was never occuped by Hungary, it was always and now is too part of Hungary
There is no serb gulyás, this is Hungarian Vojvodinian Gulyás what you ate
Well if you listened to the video I clearly said gulaš is Hungarian. Regardless of history, borders don't lie. Subotica is in Serbia. Present tense. The population may be largely Hungarian %wise but that doesn't change the fact Vojvodina is geographically part of Serbia.
Chaos LOL
Serbs (Slavs) lived in the area of Subotica while Magyars were still somewhere in Asia beyond the Ural mountains. Also your word for the city (Szabadka) is of Slavic origin. Plus, after the things Magyars have done in both world wars you should be grateful there are still any of you left in Subotica, but Serbs are a tolerant people.
Well said Marko!
@@davidostrowski679 Thanks, man. Superb videos, btw.👍
In 1910 Croats were mayority in Subotica, while Hungarians were second largest nationality and Serbs third.
Subotica is , de Szabadka is szep szerintem..
Because its far north so its good looking
Hi David. Thank you for the nice video about my hometown . it is really nice.I must notice a few small mistakes .I will not name them exactly , but please if you whant to to present a city , learn more about the history of the presented place , because many things what you have said are falsch or they lead to misunderstandings about the history and etc..please do not understand my comment as negative , I wrote it with good intentions.
Hi, like what? I always use multiple sources when researching and much of the information actually came from Serbs who I have known for a long time! I don't just turn up and guess lol
Somewhere like Subotica will always have differing views because of its Hungarian history, you can see that in the comments haha
Since you are talking extensively about the synagogue, it would be fitting if you would mention who designed and built it.
I purposely didn't because when researching there were about 5 different names involved in the design so no matter which one I say it would be wrong to someone. Marcell Komor, Dezsö Jakub and I can't remember the other ones
You should see Subotica at night.
I did the night before! It was pretty busy as it was a Friday night!
