In the morning your #destinationserbia tour guide will pick you up from your accommodation. We set off to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we’ll reach the border in approximately 45 minutes.

As we cross the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina, our next destination is the charming town of Višegrad. Despite its slow and sleepy atmosphere, Višegrad holds a special place in literary history, thanks to the renowned novel “The Bridge on the Drina” by Nobel Prize-winning author Ivo Andrić. This literary masterpiece vividly portrays the rich tapestry of history, culture, and religious diversity that has shaped the region over centuries. The iconic bridge, central to Andrić's narrative, stands as a silent witness to the passage of time and the coexistence of different civilisations. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the bridge serves as a symbol of the town's cultural significance. During our visit to Višegrad, we'll have the opportunity to explore this architectural marvel and walk on these ancient stones. Next stop in Višegrad will be Stone Town, a new complex that shows us the timeline of the history of Bosnia. From ancient origins to pivotal moments in history, this innovative exhibit offers a glimpse into the past, presenting a vision of what the town “could have been.”

After Višegrad we continue to Sarajevo, where we’ll arrive after approximately 2h driving.

Upon arriving in Sarajevo, our adventure begins with a walking tour through the city centre. We'll cross the iconic Šeher-Ćehaja bridge, listening to intriguing legends along the way. Our first stop is Vijećnica (Sarajevo City Hall), where we delve into the history of this remarkable building. Nearby, Inat Kuća offers insights into the Balkan mentality and local customs.

As we wander through the cobbled streets of Baščaršija, the oldest part of Sarajevo, we'll explore Bravadžiluk and Kazandžiluk streets, learning about traditional Bosnian coffee-making and savouring the best bureks and ćevapi the city has to offer. We'll also visit Gazi-Husrev Beys Mosque and Bezistan, taking a journey back to Ottoman times and the early XVI century.

The tour continues to the iconic Latin Bridge, infamous for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914, a pivotal event that triggered WWI. Along Ferhadija Street, we'll marvel at the mix of cultural influences in Sarajevo's architecture and discover the city's long Jewish history.

Our final stops include the Catholic Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, symbolising the Sarajevo as “Balkans Jerusalem,” and the Eternal Fire monument honouring Sarajevo's liberators in WWII.

After the walking tour, you'll have free time for lunch and personal exploration before we return to Serbia.
Keep in mind that this tour can also be arranged as a one-way transfer, providing flexibility for your travel plans. Drop-off at your accommodation in Zlatibor or Užice in the evening.
