Travel guide
Understand
Paraćin is a city in the central Serbian province of Pomoravle. Paraćin is a transportation hub that extends to the capital Belgrade to the north, Zayechar to the east, Krallevo to the west, and Nishi to the south. The Moraba River flows far to the west and the Tsurnicha River, a tributary of the Moraba River, meanders through the middle of the city.
On the eastern outskirts of Paraćin, there was the Roman city of Petrus, but today there are few traces left. The Conical Petrus Hotel stands next to the Tsurnitsa River in the middle of the city, and there is an antique Holy Trinity Church nearby. There is a large bottle factory in the city, and the villages of Cisibatz and Gonyamutnitsa are considered tourist attractions on the eastern outskirts.
