Pančevo has the oldest brewery in the Balkans, beginning as a modest business in 1722, in a two-room building. But in the last decades of the 19th century, under the guidance of Đorđe Vajfert, it burgeoned into an industrial enterprise. He would go on to become the governor of the National Bank of Serbia and now appears on the 1,000 Dinar note. Wei...
This church is a product of the First Serbian Uprising and dates to the very beginning of the 19th century. It was funded by donations, and one of the benefactors was Đorđe Petrović, the elected leader of the First Uprising and the founder of modern Serbia. Mull over the facade for a minute, which has two tall Baroque towers, and Corinthian capital...
This monastery has been a vital spiritual centre for the Banat region since Despot Stefan Lazarević founded it in the 14th century. And that is in spite of a tempestuous history through the Ottoman period when it was repeatedly burned and its monks were imprisoned, sent into slavery or even killed. After improvements in the 18th and 19th century th...

The National Garden is slightly removed from the centre of town and is in the German style, a fusion of the formal French and looser English park designs. With long...
The confluence of the Tamiš and Danube Rivers is all the more picturesque for this pair of lighthouses at the mouth of the Tamiš.

They’re a fascinating relic from the time when the Danube helped to transport all kinds of freight: Be...

The old magistrates court on Trg Kralja Petra I is from the 1830s and has hosted the National Museum since 1965. Even in the company of the square’s majestic architecture, this impressive building stands out for its splendid portico and a pediment that has a relief with two angels holding a clock.

In Summer the Tamiš riverside is a lovely place to while away an hour or two by the water. In these months the river abounds with greenery thanks to the rows of trees on the right bank, and the cafes spill out onto the quay as small fishing boats float up and down the river. At night this quarter has a different but no less attractive ambience, whe...
This Serbian Orthodox church, recognised by its large dome, is listed as a “cultural property of great importance”.

The church has a Neo-Byzantine design drawn up by the Post-Romantic architect Svetozar Ivačković and completed in 1878. A little later the...

There’s a sizeable Chinese community in Pančevo...
