Vršac is mostly visited by the tourists during the tourist events, consulting events, excursions and sports competitions.

Vršac, a cultural / tourist, economic and traffic center, situated near the Serbian / Romanian border (14 km), is a old, noble town, with buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, constructed in the Baroque and Neo-Classicism styles. It is located at the base of Vršac Mountains, it leans on the Deliblatska Peščara (Sands) and it is near the Bela Crkva Lakes. It is 84 km far from Belgrade and 156 km from Novi Sad. In all directions, it is connected by good road and railway traffic. In the tourist event season, the museum train Romantika takes to Vršac. The fairly close Danube (45 km) opens the opportunity for it to be included in the programs of travelers sailing from Vienna to Constansa through Serbia.
In its coat of arms, Vršac has got three painting symbols: the Tower, the Mesić Monastery and grapes. The attractive Tower from the 15th century rises on the hill, in the middle of a fortress, which is even nowadays believed by many people to be connected to the town center by secret underground corridors. In the Mesić Monastery, for the construction of which there are three legends, the most probable of which is the one that says, it was founded in 1225, by the Hilandar monk Arsenije Bogdanović, there is a miracle icon, a copy of the icon "It Is Worthy" in Hilandar, for which the nuns state it has the healing power.
