Wine lovers will be pleased to hear that there are two wineries within five minutes’ drive; Vinarija Zvonko Bogdan is open for tours of the wine cellars and vineyards, while the vineyard at Petra has a gorgeous setting overlooking Lake Palić. Both offer tastings of their vintages. If you’d like to explore the countryside around Lake Palić on horseback, there are stables at Ergele Kelebija (25 minutes), where horse-and-carriage rides are also available, and at Zobnatica (half an hour), a stud farm that offers lessons and hacking. There’s more local heritage close by too; the vibrant city of Subotica (15 minutes) has a soaring twin-spired baroque-era cathedral but is better known for its decorative Art Nouveau buildings, with its city hall and striking synagogue being the masterpieces. You can also get a feel for local life in Korzo, the pedestrianised main street lined with cafés and shops.
