Subotica is pretty small, which is good because I only have about 18 hours here. It's very picturesque and about 5-10 square blocks. At least all the sights are within that area. The main/only draw is the architecture, which is very pretty. If Candy Land had a city, I think it would look like this. The buildings look like cakes. One of the main reasons I came here was to see the Subotica Synagogue, which is no longer in use, but was the first building in the city to have the Candy Land architecture (the real name is Hungarian Art Nouveau). It was built in 1901-1902. It's a nice building and really different from Synagogues in the States or in the Middle East.
Apparently there are plans to restore the Synagogue and make it into a museum or landmark.
