Known far and wide for its beauty, the queen of Serbian tourism, it is located in the undulating areas of central Serbia, more precisely on the slopes of Mount Goč, which embraces it on three sides: south, west and east.
In the 19th century, Prince Miloš built the Vrnjačka Banja, which with its beautiful villas and aristocratic style competed with the most beautiful and best spas in Europe.
In its immediate surroundings, as witnesses of Serbian identity and guardians of Orthodoxy as well as the glorious medieval Serbian history, there are monasteries: Žica, Studenica, Ljubostinja as well as the Monastery of Saint Petka in Stubl. If you head towards Goča, you will come across a piece of Paradise, the wonderful Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, tucked away in the village of Stanišići.
Whether you are looking for peace, a slower pace of life, or you want fun, dancing, enjoying adventures, this spa will provide you with exactly the version of vacation you imagined. Thanks to the tradition and experience of 150 years, Vrnjačka Banja has become an exceptional host to which all guests are happy to return.
The central place in the life of Vrnjačka Banja belongs to the Promenade, a beautiful spa promenade along one side of the Vrnjačka River, while on the other side there are cafes, restaurants, shops and much more that can attract the attention of walkers. There is also a cinema on the Promenade, as well as the “Dr Dušan Radić” city library, in front of which there is the Culture square, as a place for various cultural and entertainment events. The Promenade is very popular with both local and foreign tourists, who want to relax and rest.
An unmissable place for taking photos is Vrabac Gočko, a sparrow monument, mascot, and symbol of the city with a cute traditional Serbian hat “šajkača” on its head.
A carriage is waiting for you at the Bridge of Love, from where a romantic ride through the park begins, between linden trees and wild chestnuts, right next to the Vrnjačka river.
You can observe the beauty of Vrnjačka Banja and its surroundings from a slightly different angle, from the magnificent observation wheel, the largest in the Balkans, with a height of 50 meters and 32 air-conditioned cabins.
The ideal place for a family afternoon is the Zoo garden Vrnjci, where your children will have a great time. There is also an exciting Adventure Park.
If you are a fan of festivals, you can visit: Lovefest, Film Screenplay Festival, ZUM Festival, International Festival of Classical Chamber Music. There is also the well-known International Vrnjački Carnival.
And finally, let us recommend the RAJ Aqua park, the largest water park in Vrnjačka Banja, which provides unforgettable summer fun for the youngest and adults.
