See timetable and Buy TicketAbout 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 ZLATIBOR
Zlatibor is a mountain and nature park in Serbia, covering an area of about 1,000 km², 55 km long and up to 20 km wide. It stretches in a northwest-southeast direction. The highest peak of the mountain is Tornik (1,496 m).
Zlatibor is located in the northern part of the Stari Vlah region, the border region between Raška, Herzegovina and Polimlje. It covers the areas of three municipalities of the Republic of Serbia: Čajetina and a part of the municipality of Užice (Kremanska oblast) northern Zlatibor and a smaller part of the municipality of Nove Varoš (Murtenica oblast) southern Zlatibor.
Zlatibor has always had great border significance. On the Cigli hill near Jablanica, the border of Serbia with two empires — the Austro-Hungarian and the Turkish — can still be seen today. The first written traces of the name of the mountain, and this region, date back to the time of the first Serbian uprising. It is believed that the mountain was named after a very rare type of white pine, the so-called golden pine, which is under state protection.
Since it is located in the geographical center of Serbia, it is well connected to all major cities in the region. Zlatibor is located halfway between Belgrade and the Montenegrin and Dubrovnik coasts. Many important highways and railways cross it, including the Belgrade-Bar railway. The nearest major city is Užice.
Because it is a mountain of exceptional beauty and a pleasant climate, it is very suitable for various types of tourism. Zlatibor is a health spa, a recreational center, a ski resort, a center of cultural events and gatherings of people from all over.
The Zlatibor region is rich in a large number of cultural and historical monuments, among which the local churches and monasteries occupy a special place: the Jablanica church, the Uvac monastery, the Dubrava monastery, are just some of the more famous.
Excursions to the surrounding villages, on horses, carriages or off-road vehicles "quads", parties in discos and nightclubs, frequent concerts by famous musicians, recreation on tennis and golf courts, modernly equipped ski resorts, traditional local cuisine, tell us that Zlatibor is synonymous with a universal vacation.
