Things To Do
in Opovo

Cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat and rice, slow-cooked in a savory sauce — a regional comfort food found in local taverns and family kitchens.

Must-Try!

Slow-roasted pork or lamb (pečenje) and grilled minced meat sausages (ćevapi), commonly available at kafanas and small grill shops in the area.

A layered cheese and egg pastry popular for breakfast or as a light lunch; available at bakeries and local markets.

Fresh and aged cheeses from the region and creamy kajmak (clotted cream) — excellent at markets and rural households.

Weekly market where local farmers sell seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheeses and cured meats — great for tasting fresh produce and buying picnic supplies.

Larger market in nearby Pančevo with a wider selection of regional specialties, pastries and street food stalls.

Handshake and direct eye contact are common when meeting someone; use polite forms of address and a friendly 'Dobar dan' (Good day).

Locals are hospitable and proud to offer food or drink — it’s polite to accept small offerings or at least to thank your host.

Show deference to older people in conversation and seating; family ties are important in communities.

Dress modestly for church visits and formal events; remove hats and speak quietly in religious buildings.

Tipping is appreciated but not strictly obligatory. In restaurants, round up the bill or leave about 5–10% for good service; for taxis, round up or add a small tip; leave a small tip for hotel staff and guides.

The local currency is the Serbian dinar (RSD). Cash is commonly used, especially in small towns; cards are increasingly accepted in cafes and restaurants, but always carry some cash for markets, taxis and rural vendors.

Hot and sunny, often above 25–30°C (77–86°F); ideal for outdoor activities, cycling and visiting Deliblato Sands. Pack sunscreen, light clothing and a hat; expect longer daylight hours and occasional thunderstorms.

Mild, with crisp mornings and colorful fields; great for photography, mushroom foraging in nearby woods and harvest-time markets. Layers are useful as temperatures vary.

Cold, sometimes below freezing with occasional snow; days are shorter and some rural services may operate reduced hours. Pack warm clothing, sturdy shoes and be prepared for frosty mornings.

Blooming landscapes, milder weather and active bird migration in wetlands; ideal for nature walks and market-fresh produce. Expect some rainy days and muddy trails after thaw.

The main international airport serving the region, about 50–70 km from Opovo depending on route; reachable by car or shuttle via Belgrade in around 1–1.5 hours. Best option for international flights and connections.

Located in western Romania (roughly 150–180 km away), an alternative for some low-cost carriers; travel time by car is longer and requires crossing the border.
