Vršac is mostly visited by the tourists during the tourist events, consulting events, excursions and sports competitions. As one of the largest wine cellars has been in Vršac since the ancient era and worldwide respected wines are produced from the grapes from the Vršac vineyards, a celebration of grape picking days "The Vršac Grape Picking" takes place end of September there, which keeps wine fans and tourists from the whole world for three days there.
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.
