The town of Vršac has a remarkable historical past and countless imposing buildings. The Saint Gerard bishop and martyr Roman Catholic parish church is one of the gems of the place, and the largest Catholic church in Serbia. The City Hall, the Episcopal Palace, the „Staired” Pharmacy, the Millennium Centre and the City Museum at the building of Concordia are all must-see attractions for travelers. The unique Vršac Mountains with the its tower rises above these attractions and looks over the hilltop houses.

The wine region of Banat and the Vršac region were one of the most famous wine producers in the world at the end of the 19th century. It is no wonder, however, that far-famed vineyards are still present in the coat of arms of the settlement. Here are some of the best wineries if we want to discover the area:
