Vrnjačka Banja Serbia Spa

Vrnjačka Banja is Serbia's most visited and celebrated spa town, situated in the rolling foothills of Mount Goč in the Šumadija region, where calcic and bicarbonate mineral springs have attracted visitors since the Roman period and were developed into a fully equipped thermal resort during the 19th-century Serbian Renaissance. The calcium-bicarbonate mineral composition of Vrnjačka Banja's waters is valued in the European spa tradition for well-being and the appeal of mineral-rich drinking and bathing customs that form the basis of the town's historic Kur programme and its long-standing reputation. The spa town's colonnade, rose gardens, and the tradition of young couples locking padlocks to the Bridge of Love over the Vrnjačka River have made this Serbian thermal resort as much a symbol of romance and cultural identity as a centre for mineral water tradition.
