Negotin

Negotin is a border city in eastern Serbia situated on the Danube between Bulgaria and Romania. The city has a compact historic core with low buildings and surroundings filled with vineyards and fruit orchards.

The city was founded in the 14th century and developed into an important trading post along the Danube. Its position on the border has shaped its development and appearance over the centuries.

The name comes from the Serbian word for trade and reflects its long history as a commercial crossroads. Today visitors can see this heritage in traditional shops and local crafts still practiced in the streets.

The city is best explored on foot with short distances between main attractions in the center. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and prefer early mornings or late afternoons when it is cooler.

The region is known for its wines and produces some of Serbia's best varieties. Many visitors are surprised to learn that the local vineyards along the river not only yield excellent grapes but also offer beautiful views.
