Viminacium Archaeological Park, Research and Tourist Center

Magical place to visit, with the highest level of professionalism. Highly recommended! We visited as part of a project called Dancing Histories, where the archaeological site came alive through contemporary dance and poems written by local authors. The visuals I’ve attached are from Derida Dance Company from Bulgaria. Viminacium Park also has a hotel section, so you can even stay overnight and enjoy the experience fully.

A very interesting place to visit and experience. I recommend going by car, because the area is very big and with a tour guide to find out information and details about the history of the place. The tours start at every hour and the guide was very nice to translate in English for people who didn’t speak Serbian. The prices are very low, affordable and on the premises you can find a restaurant, toilet, souvenir shop, an adventure park and many areas to visit. I think we will come back after some years because we would like to see how much more was discovered in the meantime.

Stunning history evidence to see. Walk-in tunnel underground was so intense to experience, like literally being part of Roman history. Our guide Nebojša was amazing, so dedicated, informed, prepared and spoke so well. Visited the ancient mamouth too. Tips: you can’t visit the grounds on your own, you need a guide to take you from point to point. It all takes less than an hour, but bring sunscreens and hats if going during summer, it can be really hot. Also try to skip the mid day cause sun is insane in the field. Bathrooms are available right next to ticket center, you can’t drink water there, it’s not sanitized for drinking! Bring your own water or buy at the cafe at ticket center. Also skip the tunnel visit if you’re having problems with walking of any kind or you’re scared of tight places. You can buy tickets when you arrive, credit cards accepted.

The English speaking guide is pretty great, the site itself is a bit barebones though, but still worth it

Amazing archaeological park! Well done considering the funding they currently receive for their research. This site must be listed on UNESCO world heritage sites list and preserved for the future generations!

Viminacium Archaeological Park, Research, and Tourist Center is a significant Roman archaeological site in Serbia. Here are the key highlights: • Well-Preserved Ruins: Includes remains of streets, baths, an amphitheater, and a necropolis. • Mammoth Park: Fossilized remains of mammoths discovered at the site add to its historical richness. • Modern Visitor Center: Features interactive exhibits, guided tours, and reconstructions of Roman life. • Underground Tombs: Intricately decorated Roman tombs with frescoes, offering insights into ancient burial customs. • Open-Air Museum: Showcases Roman military equipment, reconstructed structures, and artifacts.

We were here with a guide and we really liked it here. We also saw archaeologists actually working and excavating the pit in search of history! It was exciting. I was most impressed by the excavations of the graves of the ancient Romans.

I’ve visited it twice. First time with my family and second time I was showing the place to my friend. I recommend you to do the same thing, if your friend/s is/are visiting Serbia definitely bring them here. Or if you’re visiting Serbia come and learn about Rome culture in Serbia. They have nice guides who will tell you story about this ancient city and if you’re interested you can always ask more questions. You will learn about long gone people, culture and city which disappeared in flame. You should definitely come by car because you’ll need it to go from one place to another.
