We will be waiting for you in the city centre of Dubrovnik to be picked up at 2 pm. Dubrovnik has better connections than airports in Bosnia and Herzegovina so this will make things easier for you. We would also suggest you take advantage of this stop to explore Dubrovnik before we pick you up! 

We will then begin our journey towards Mostar, during which you will witness the beautiful landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You’ll have some time to explore the beautiful sights that Mostar has to offer before our welcome dinner in the evening.

We will be staying in the Kriva Cuprija Hotel, which is the only UNESCO heritage site hotel in the whole city. This beautiful building has been preserved for more than 500 years.

Meals: Dinner 

This morning we’ll explore the beautiful old town of Mostar, this will include walking over the historic Stari Most! As you walk across the cobbled streets and make your way to Mostar’s famous landmarks, our local Bosnian guide will be sharing stories from the Siege of Mostar and how people in the city survived during the Bosnian Genocide. 

You can also visit the Koski-Mehmed Pasha’s Mosque. Built in 1618 and rebuilt after the war where you will have the opportunity to climb the minaret for sweeping views of Stari Most and Mostar (tickets for the mosque and minaret will be self-funded).

In the afternoon, we’ll explore the Dervish Lodge located in picturesque Blagaj (tickets included). You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy some afternoon coffee or tea against a backdrop of the crystalline waters of the Buna River.

Once you’ve enjoyed Blagaj to your heart’s content, we’ll head back to Mostar for the night.

Meals: Breakfast

We’ll spend the day in the beautiful town of Stolac learning more about the history of the city and how conditions were during the Bosnian War.

The necropolis in Radimlja, one of the most valuable monuments of the medieval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the ancient citadel of Daorson are just two of the unique historical pearls that we will explore in Stolac.

In the afternoon, after having lunch by the beautiful waterfalls in Stolac, we’ll visit Pocitelj. Here you’ll be able to visit the historic fortress and learn about the aggression the village was subjected to by Croatian nationalists during the Bosnian war.

Later in the day, we’ll be making our way to Sarajevo for the evening. 

Meals: Breakfast

After breakfast, we’ll begin bright and early with a guided tour of Bosnia’s beautiful capital city Sarajevo, a city steeped in medieval and modern history. Our expert local guide will walk you through the cobblestone streets of the historic Baščaršija area of Sarajevo. You will also have the opportunity to hear about the siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege in modern history, from survivors.

We’ll be hosting lunch where you’ll be able to try burek, a Bosnian delicacy. Vegetarian options are available. In the evening, you will have some free time to join us for an optional cable car trip (tickets will be self-funded) to enjoy breathtaking views of the city or you can choose to explore the city and its traditional handmade stalls and bakeries. This will be a great opportunity to purchase locally-made gifts and souvenirs to take home with you.

Meals: Breakfast and lunch.

On our fifth day, we’ll visit the memorial site of Srebrenica-Potocari, where 8,372 Muslim men and boys were murdered in July 1995 as a result of sustained fascist and ethnonational propaganda spread by Serb nationalists. 

Despite frequently being overlooked by media outlets in their coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, the Srebrenica Genocide was the worst atrocity to take place on European soil since WW2.

The extensive use of propaganda during the war in Bosnia dehumanised and painted the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) population as an ‘incompatible other’. By visiting the memorial site you’re taking part in a necessary effort to learn the importance of combating hate and preserving the stories of survivors and victims for future generations. 

Meals: Breakfast 

We will be venturing up north to the town of Ahmići, a village where hundreds lost their lives due to aggression from Croat nationalist forces. Following this, we will continue onwards to Travnik,  a historic town in the central part of Bosnia. Here you’ll find Bosnian architecture that is unique to this region. We’ll walk through the narrow streets and learn more about the history before making our way to Plava Voda for a drink by its springs. 

After Travnik, we’ll make our way to Jajce, famous for its nature and stunning waterfalls. There is ziplining here available for an additional price. In the evening, we will make our way back to Sarajevo where we will host a goodbye dinner for the group.

Meals: Breakfast and dinner.

After breakfast, we’ll take a stroll through the city before stopping to eat baklava and drink Bosnian coffee one last time.

The tour will officially end after this meal. Transport to airports is not included but can be arranged upon request. Should you wish to extend your stay in Bosnia, let us know and we can assist you with accommodation, transportation, and anything else you might require.
