Things to do in Vrnjačka Banja
From the springs to Goč
Guests stay three to four nights on average, and after the first walk along the promenade the question is always the same: what tomorrow? This is everything there is to do in and around Vrnjačka Banja, from a glass of mineral water at a spring to a full day on Mount Goč or at Žiča monastery.
The centre is small and easy to explore on foot. The Topla voda and Jezero springs are in the park itself, Slatina and Snežnik are a pleasant walk away, and the Castle of Culture, the Bridge of Love and the Ferris wheel are on the way. For a swim, choose between the thermal pools, the aqua parks and hotel spas that sell day passes.
By car or on an organised trip you can go further: up Mount Goč to its viewpoints and forest trails, and to the Žiča, Studenica and Ljubostinja monasteries. For every place we list opening hours and prices with the date we checked them, how to get there, where to park and the nearest place to stay.

Two days cover the centre, the springs and a swim. Add a day or two if you also want Mount Goč or the Žiča and Studenica monasteries.
What is free?
The promenade and the park, the mineral springs and the Bridge of Love are free. Each place’s page says whether there is an entry fee and how much.

Not for the spa itself: the centre, the park and the springs are within walking distance. For Goč and the monasteries a car is easiest, and there are organised trips from the spa.
What is there to do in winter?
The thermal pools and spas are open all year. When it snows there is skiing and sledging on Mount Goč, and the forest trails are lovely in winter too.
Where should I stay to be close to everything?
Most things are a step from the centre and the promenade. Every activity page shows the nearest places to stay, with the distance in metres.
