If you find yourself on the Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard while walking towards the Fortress, pay close attention to the walls around you as you’ll be sure to spot a mural dedicated to the very scientist the boulevard is named after. Painted during the Days of American Culture in Novi Sad and realized by the City of Novi Sad and the USA Embassy, this mural also gives us a closer look at the most important moments in Pupin’s lifetime.

In the close vicinity of the Strand beach and EXIT camping space you’ll find an unusual basketball court. Titled “Bird Play”, this is not your typical city mural, but it’s a true work of art nonetheless. The vivid colors of the court present a perfect contrast to the grey and concrete Liman hood and will surely invite you to shoot some hoops even if you’re just passing by.

You’ll find the newest addition to Novi Sad’s mural collection on a side of a building in Šafarikova Street, next to the Reformed Christian Church. Signed by the Chain Reaction organization, the mural has many motives – a dog as symbol of loyalty and friendship, an apple representing health and planet Earth and a boy looking like he’s wondering what is going on around him. While you’re there, take a short walk to the Jevrejska Street where you’ll see Novi Sad Synagogue, a historic landmark built from 1906-1909.
