There’s no venue quite like this in the United States. Serbia’s EXIT Festival takes place in a 17th century Petrovaradin fortress. If your idea of a good time is grooving to tunes in an ancient castle, then head to Novi Sad this summer for one of Eastern Europe’s most unique festivals.

1. Serbian are hot. And very friendly.
2. It’s a great venue to see a show. There’s 25 stages laid in a beautiful arrangement. Check out this virtual tour to get an idea of the fun.
3. Awesome value. Eastern Europe tends to be slightly cheaper than most other music festivals around the world. A four day ticket in 2011 costs only 89 euros (about $125).
