The traditional town of Bela Crkva showcases Serbia through a local lens. Popular with summer sunseekers, it’s filled with beautiful Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings. Stroll through the leafy parks and admire a series of handsome churches. Visit the National Museum Bela Crkva to find out more about the town’s rich history and heritage. It occupies a handsome 19th-century building and is filled with centuries-old oil paintings, ancient ceramics and other artefacts.
A series of lakes dot the countryside surrounding Bela Crkva and are popular places to swim and sunbathe in the summer months. City Lake is one of the busiest, with a well-developed shoreline and lots of cafes to relax at. Try local dishes like “sarma” ground pork wrapped in cabbage leaves and spicy paprika soup. Rent an umbrella and sun lounger for the day or hire a boat and enjoy a leisurely paddle around the lake. A pebble beach, grassy foreshore and cool, crystalline water make Vračevgajsko Lake popular with families.
