Near by venue

Palić Park Forest

The park forest is one of the most enchanting escapes from everyday life. Beneath the canopy of century-old trees reigns a sense of peace and freshness, while well-kept pathways invite you to take a leisurely stroll or cycle ride. Shaded clearings often turn into picnic spots, where visitors can spread a blanket and enjoy the quiet harmony of greenery.

Palić Zoo

The Palić Zoo blends a love of animals with a love of nature. Carefully landscaped and rich in vegetation, it feels like walking through a vast garden. Alongside exotic and domestic animals, the floral alleys and park-like setting leave a lasting impression, making every visit pleasant and relaxing.

Water Tower

At the very entrance to the Palić park stands its most recognizable symbol – the Water Tower. Built in the Art Nouveau style, it is among the finest architectural landmarks of the region. Today it serves as a favorite photo spot and a true landmark for all who arrive in Palić.

Palić Museum (Villa Lujza)

Housed in the elegant Villa Lujza, the museum preserves the story of Palić’s rise as a fashionable resort in the late 19th and early 20th century. Inside, visitors can explore photographs, artifacts, and documents that reflect the town’s rich history and cultural importance.

Subotica

Just ten minutes away lies Subotica – a city of Art Nouveau and unique cultural heritage. The City Hall, the Synagogue, and the ornate palaces in the center leave a powerful impression, while a walk through its colorful streets reveals a blend of Central European spirit and the warmth of Vojvodina. Subotica is the perfect complement to a stay in Palić.

Lake Ludaš

Lake Ludaš is a protected nature reserve and a true paradise for bird lovers. Over 200 species have been recorded here, making it one of the most significant ornithological sites in the region. Beyond birdwatching, visitors can enjoy the serenity of unspoiled nature and the lake’s distinctive landscape.
