Through the “EU for Cultural Heritage and Tourism” project, the City of Smederevo has been awarded EUR 68,854.50 in grants from the European Union’s pre-accession IPA funds, for projects to improve the tourist offer and cultural heritage in seven cities and municipalities in Eastern Serbia and the Lower Danube region.
Under this project, activities will be carried out to remove the existing structure and prepare a concrete base for the new Tourist Information Centre building with an access ramp, to install the Tourist Information Centre, to install an interactive totem with content, to equip the Tourist Information Centre and to install bicycle parking.
The Tourist Information Centre will be located at the entrance to the Small Town of Smederevo Fortress and will be a place providing information on various aspects of the cultural and natural heritage of Smederevo and the Lower Danube, where all visitors will have the chance to learn more about the history, traditions and rich cultural and tourist attractions of the area.
The interactive totem will serve as an interactive point that brings the visit to life. It will be enriched with information that is easy to access through modern technologies, including QR codes and additional audio and visual content.
Once these activities have been successfully implemented, the Lower Danube region and Smederevo will gain a new dimension of tourist experience. Visitors will be able to find important information about local culture, history and landmarks, and about the richness and importance of this region, more easily and quickly.
The “EU for Cultural Heritage and Tourism” project is financed by the European Union, co-financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). The overall objective of the project is to improve the tourist offer and infrastructure in Serbia’s Lower Danube region through more efficient use of cultural and tourism assets, thereby contributing to the objectives of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region.
