About the station SUBOTICA

Subotica (Hungarian: Szabadka) is the northernmost city in the Republic of Serbia, the second most populous in Vojvodina. According to the 2002 census, it has 99,471 inhabitants. It is located 10 km from the Serbian border with Hungary. It is the administrative center of the North Bačka District.

Subotica was first mentioned in 1391 under the Hungarian name Zabadka. In 1527, Subotica was the capital of the short-lived Serbian state of the self-proclaimed Emperor John Nenad. The Ottoman Empire ruled the city from 1542 to 1686, when it became a possession of the Habsburg Monarchy. From the mid-18th century, its name was changed to Sancta Maria, after the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The name of the city was changed again in 1779 to Maria Theresiopolis, and the name Subotica (Szabadka) was returned to it in 1845. In 1918, Subotica became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

The city is located in the Pannonian Plain, which has a long tradition and rich cultural heritage. The municipality, which includes the city and 18 suburban settlements, covers an area of 1,008 square kilometers.

Thanks to its geographical position and hardworking residents, Subotica has over time become the most important administrative, industrial, commercial, transport and cultural center in northern Bačka, and the nearby Palić Lake makes it a tourist and recreational center for the wider area.

There is also a connection near the city that connects Subotica with Hungary in the north and Southern Europe via Belgrade in the south. Subotica is also connected by rail to the whole of Europe.

In terms of traffic, Subotica is, in the truest sense of the word, located at the crossroads of roads and railways. The E-75 highway passes in the immediate vicinity of Subotica, and the main roads to Novi Sad (M-22.1), Sombor and Kelebija (Hungary) (M-17.1), Horgoš (M-22.1) and Senta (M-24) intersect in the city itself (the part to the E-75 highway has been completed, and the rest is planned). The Belgrade - Budapest railway route passes through the urban core and there it branches off with the railway routes to Sombor, Horgoš, Crvenka and Baja. All these facts contribute to Subotica being classified as one of the most important traffic hubs in the Republic of Serbia.

About the destination VERONA

Verona is a city on the Adige river in Veneto, Italy, with approximately 265,000 inhabitants and one of the seven provincial capitals of the region. It is the second largest city municipality in the region and the third largest in northeast Italy.

The precise details of Verona's early history remain a mystery. One theory is it was a city of the Euganei, who were obliged to give it up to the Cenomani (550 BC). With the conquest of the Valley of the Po the Veronese territory became Roman (about 300 BC). Verona became a Roman colonia in 89 BC, and then a municipium in 49 BC when its citizens were ascribed to the Roman tribe Poblilia or Publicia.

Because of the value and importance of its many historical buildings, Verona has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Verona preserved many ancient Roman monuments, no longer in use, in the early Middle Ages, but much of this and much of its early medieval edifices were destroyed or heavily damaged by the earthquake of 3 January 1117, which led to a massive Romanesque rebuilding. The Carolingian period Versus de Verona contains an important description of Verona in the early medieval era.

Three of Shakespeare's plays are set in Verona: Romeo and Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and The Taming of the Shrew. It is unknown if Shakespeare ever visited Verona or Italy at all, but his plays have lured many visitors to Verona and surrounding cities many times over.
