Štrand

One of the most beautiful beaches on the Danube, Štrand officially opened its doors to public in 1911, although it had been immensely popular among the city people long before that. For many years, the famous street cart Trčika transferred people from the railway station to the beach, although many of them preferred boats or carriages instead. Nowadays Štrand is a little city with 700m long beach and 7 hectares of green surface. Today, the city beach features two basketball courts, three volleyball courts, a mini-golf field, a climbing facility, and several playgrounds. There are more than 400 hundred trees of mainly indigenous species, flower pots, decorative plants and lawns, all of which guarantee a rather pleasant stay.,

Throughout the season – which starts May 1st and ends September 30th – the itinerary is full of concerts, sport competitions and various cultural events. During the Exit festival, Štrand hosts daily beach parties. Other well-known festivals, such as Vojvodina Fest and The Call of the Flatlands, attract culture, film, folk dance, music, cuisine and wine connoisseurs. In addition to several sport tournaments, Štrand hosts many children festivals. For 56 years in a row, the city beach has also been a must-see port of call for the Danube Regatta – the world’s longest international regatta. Aiming to please the visitors, since 2008 Štrand remains open all-year-round. In winter since beginning of December up to middle February a skating rink of 600m² is in function, it hosts lots of events such as charity masquerade, theme parties and snow figures contest.
