SUBOTICA looks like THIS?! 🇷🇸 – Don’t miss this city in NORTHERN SERBIA (Vojvodina)!

Welcome to another video! Today we are in Subotica, Serbia, and we are  very excited to explore here because it is our last day here in this beautiful country.  Subotica has a population  of around 103,000 people, so 

It’s one of the smallest cities in Serbia, and it’s located right at the border of Hungary, which  is why we decided to stop here on our way home from Novi Sad to Budapest.  What’s interesting about  this city is that I think it  used to be part of the  Austrian and Hungarian Empire, 

And around 37% of people  have Hungarian ancestry here,  and I think a lot of people speak it as well. So I think, in general, the city has  a lot of influence from Hungary. We’re excited to see what the city has to offer. 

I don’t know if there’s that much to do here, but we’re going to walk around and explore,   and, of course, we’re going to eat some food,   because this is our last day in Serbia, and we want to eat some more  Cevapi and Burek. Subotica has a really cool 

Town hall that was built in a style called Hungarian art nouveau   and apparently it was designed by two prominent architects from Budapest.  It was finished in, I think, 1910, and it’s very, very unique.  It’s absolutely amazing. Typically, I’m more of a fan of gothic kind 

Of style architecture, but this kind of feels like that at the same time, because it’s really dark.  It’s black and has these dark, I guess, reddish maroon colors as well.  And it’s just really, really beautiful. Already walking into the city, the architecture is very, very  nice, especially since this 

Is like a city of, what, 100,000, you said? Yeah. I didn’t expect it from a city that’s smaller like  this to have so many really  cool buildings like this.  I love that. I really like the creepy trees

Yeah, they look like they’re from a Tim Burton movie or something, their arms all stretched out.  That looks really cool. Really creepy.  So, of course, we couldn’t leave Serbia without having burek one last time.  We noticed that here in Subotica, they have this, which is pizza burek!

I don’t remember seeing  this anywhere in Belgrade or  Novi Sad, but maybe I’m wrong, but it sounded so unique that we couldn’t pass it up.  It seems like it has a different kind of cheese in it, maybe the trappist cheese.  It has mushrooms, ham, and it looks like, obviously, tomato sauce as well. 

So we’re excited to try this out. It’s quite different from the ones   we’ve had so far. Oh, my! Man! The steam! It’s as amazing as it sounds. It does taste like pizza.  It’s got this sweet, tangy pizza sauce inside.  Nice, gooey, melty cheese. And I love mushrooms as well, 

So this is the perfect combination. Yeah, there’s mushrooms in here as well.  This is perfect. I don’t know if this is… No, it’s definitely not very  traditional, but Serbians do love  pizza, so I guess that’s why this came about. But this is definitely 10 out of 10 for me. 

I absolutely love this. It’s a nice change from a normal Burek. Mmm. It’s so weird because it is so different.  I think I like the traditional one more, but, yeah, this is delicious.  And like Brandon said, I don’t know if this is a thing, but what we’ve noticed in Serbia 

Is that there’s pizza restaurants  everywhere and people are walking  around with pizza boxes, and it just seems like Serbians really, really love pizza. I don’t know.  Let us know in the comments if that’s the case, but this makes sense. 

We got another one with just mushrooms and cheese, and I think this is also more  like, I don’t know, mozzarella or something. It’s not the usual Burek cheese.  And, of course, we got some yogurt. This is really mushroomy, delicious. 

So it’ll be good for people who are vegetarians, I suppose. They’re all so good.  I’m going to miss Burek! Not bad. But the pizza one’s definitely  better because it’s got the  ham and tomato sauce in addition to the mushrooms. This one just got mushroom.  I had to choose, I’d choose the pizza one.

We’re suckers. We couldn’t resist.  We got popcorn for the third time in the third city in Serbia, because   serbian popcorn is delicious. We actually got it from this guy, who was making it fresh right then and there, and he had a topping called Vegeta?

I don’t know. He said it was one of the most popular  seasonings in the Balkans in  general, and he called it,  like, serbian seasoning, so we had to get it. Also, he filled up the bottom of the  bag, like, this is Five Guys or something like that, full of popcorn as well. 

So amazing deal. And it was only 50 dinar.  Yeah, this is perfect. They’re all perfect. We are obsessed with popcorn. Best snack.  And ridiculously cheap. Can you taste the seasoning? A little bit. I can’t tell you what it tastes like, though, but it’s good. Definitely another thing  

I’m gonna miss about Serbia. I think every country and every city should  have popcorn on the streets like this. That seasoning is really nice.  I just got one with loads of it. Don’t know what tastes like, but it’s delicious.  We’re here at the Subotica Synagogue, and this one 

Is also built in the Hungarian art nouveau style. And it looks super pretty.  I think they won a competition  or something like that.  And it was finished in 1902, and it was therefore built during the… Hungarian Kingdom? Kingdom of Hungary? I forgot. But it’s the second largest one in 

Europe after the one in Budapest. I didn’t even know that the one  in Budapest was the largest one. But this one’s the second one.  We actually live close to that one. Yeah. I love the tiling on these roofs.  Maybe that’s part of what makes it this art nouveau style. 

But, like, these really colorful tiles. It’s got, this mix of gold and green. Yeah, it’s just really, really pretty. So this is the monument to fallen soldiers and victims of fascism. So right next to the St.  Teresa of Avila Cathedral or  church, which looks like

A freaking earthquake happened and split it in two.  It’s got this big crack going all down the middle, which I must assume  is recent, because there’s construction going on now. Not exactly sure what happened,   but it looks crazy. It looks like something out of a movie. 

Like it was almost split down the middle. Maybe somebody in the comments can  let us know what happened. Oh, yeah. Wow. Couldn’t even see it.  I think, and this might be quite controversial, but I  think I like Subotica better than Novi Sad. Not better than Belgrade,  

Though, but still much nicer than I thought, because we watched maybe a video  or two about the city, and I don’t think anybody really showed it that well.  It’s much more beautiful than I anticipated. Really nice architecture everywhere.  Yes, it’s very pretty. Worth a visit for sure. 

We now came for dinner at a restaurant called Sarajevo, which technically   is the capital of Bosnia. We’ve been to Bosnia before, but not to Sarajevo.  And we have cevapi here. And we also got some sausage because we couldn’t  leave Serbia without having  cevapi one more time, because 

It’s literally one of my favorite things. Let’s try this.  The bread is completely soaking almost because I think it’s fried.  And they dabbed it in fat and grease. Smells delicious, though.  Got some kaymak. And they don’t serve ajvar here.

This kaymak is actually a lot more stringy. It’s like clotted cream in the UK.  Yeah, it wasn’t like this anywhere else. I’m excited about that.  We also got some mustard. I guess I will put some on. They call it Senf here, just like in German.  Mmm. 

You can’t go wrong even if you put mustard on it. And the clotted cream is just so good.  It’s one of the best ones we’ve had. And this bread’s delicious.  The meat’s delicious. Love it. I’m going to miss this so much.  So I think this bread is  called Lepinja because this 

Is the same kind of bread that we had when we had that Komplet Lepinja in   the food video earlier. So this looks absolutely delicious.  They also serve these, what I’m assuming is a hot pepper, which they have   in Hungary all the time. So maybe that’s another influence from Hungary, or 

Maybe this is a Bosnian  thing as well. I don’t know.  They call it Paprika I think. It seems like it’s going to be spicy by the smell of it.  Smells like the spicy ones in Hungary. So let’s see.  I ordered the sausage instead  of the cevapi because we 

Didn’t want to get two of the same thing. It’s really good.  Let’s start with the pepper. It is one of those spicy peppers. Ooh.  This is even spicier than the  ones that I get in Hungary normally.  The sausage is  really meaty, really juicy.  I got mine with chili flakes,  but the combination with 

The chili flakes and the hot pepper, my mouth is a little bit on fire, but it’s   absolutely delicious. I really like the sausage.  It’s not like a german  sausage or anything like that.  I don’t know what it’s like. It’s a Serbian sausage. Like a Bosnian sausage.

Well, I don’t know. I feel like I’ve had this before. Like this.  They’re these little ones, and they burst open.  They look like little wieners. Little wieners that burst open,   but they’re very yummy. The skin is not, like,   snappy or anything like that. Like with a German one.  Let’s try this.

Maybe that was a mistake.  I don’t eat spicy food. Yeah, that’s very spicy.  If you don’t like spicy, you don’t get the pepper. But, yeah, this is delicious.  All right, I’m going to try the cevapi now. I think it’s a bit weird with ketchup because 

It kind of turns it into something else. I prefer it with the mustard or I  prefer it with the ajvar and kaymak, how we had it before, but still really delicious.  This is the end of our video. We loved our time in Subotica.

And tomorrow we’re going to go home, but we’re going to have one more video where we’re going  to try a bunch of Serbian snacks. So make sure to stay tuned   if you want to watch that. And if you did like this video, please

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!
