Things To Do
in Žitište

Cabbage leaves stuffed with minced meat and rice, slowly cooked in a rich sauce — a winter staple commonly served in local kafanas.

Must-Try!

Grilled minced meat sausages served with flatbread, raw onions and kajmak; widely available and a quick, filling choice in town.

A paprika-spiced meat stew of Central European origin that is popular throughout Vojvodina and easy to find in local restaurants.

Savory breads and buns filled with cheese or meat and sweet pastries; ideal for breakfast or snacks at bakeries and markets.

A small local market (often weekly) where farmers sell fresh produce, eggs, cheese and homemade preserves — great for seasonal fruit, vegetables and freshly baked goods.

Seasonal roadside stalls in the surrounding countryside offering cherries, plums, fresh corn and homemade rakija during harvest months.

Politely greet with a handshake and maintain eye contact; use titles and surnames with older people unless invited to use first names.

Dress modestly when visiting churches, be respectful of services and ask permission before photographing inside religious buildings.

Local hospitality is warm; it’s customary to offer thanks and modesty when complimenting food or gifts — a small reciprocation is appreciated rather than extravagant returns.

Avoid heated political debates about borders, ethnicity and wartime history unless you know someone well; be sensitive when discussing ethnic differences.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; in restaurants 5–10% for good service is customary, rounding up small bills for cafés or taxis is common. For small services (porter, taxi drivers) rounding up or adding a small tip is fine.

Local currency is the Serbian dinar (RSD). Cash is widely used in small shops and rural businesses; credit/debit cards are accepted at larger restaurants and shops. ATMs are available in town but carry some cash when traveling to rural areas.

Mild temperatures, blooming orchards and active bird migration — a pleasant time for outdoor walks and photography; occasional rain so bring a light jacket.

Warm to hot and generally dry; long daylight hours are great for exploring and festivals but bring sun protection, light clothing and water for rural outings.

Harvest season brings colorful fields and vineyard activity; cooler days and comfortable conditions for hikes and rural sightseeing.

Cold with possible snow and frosty mornings; services and some rural attractions may be quieter, so plan for shorter daylight and dress warmly.
