Splav Cristal

Novi Sad


While Novi Sad's collection of splavovi (river-barge nightclubs) aren't as hedonistic as Belgrade's, Cristal certainly gives it a red-hot go, with live turbofolk (traditional folk crossed with techno) acts, glammed-up crowds and uninhibited carousing. If you didn't pack any bling, scrub up as best you can or you might not be allowed in.
