Understand

Subotica, once a flourishing city, experienced its golden era at the beginning of the 20th century. During this time, remarkable monumental buildings were constructed, establishing Subotica as a vital center of wealth, influence, and culture. It held the prestigious title of the third largest city in the Kingdom of Hungary and later in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Despite its shift to becoming a border-city, its population growth declined, making it the second largest city in Vojvodina and fifth in Serbia. However, this decrease in size worked to Subotica's advantage. Today, this city is not burdened by the typical congestion and urban sprawl experienced in larger cities. Instead, it retains a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, showcasing an exceptional level of beauty and an eclectic multicultural environment. With a mix of Hungarian, Serbian, and Croatian influences, Subotica boasts a vibrant and unique culture.
