Highlights
- Tvrdava Stari grad - Rise and shine! It is 8:00 am and perfect time to start our journey. Our first stop is the most beautiful and best preserved fortress in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Old Forth of Travnik was constructed in 14th century during Kingdom of Bosnia, but the present appearance is the result of the Ottoman builders.
- Travnik - If You did not have a chance to have a cup of coffee do not worry! Perfect place for traditional Bosnian coffee is “Plava Voda” (blue water springs).
- Fortress of Jajce - Next stop is the city of Jajce. Open sky museum with waterfall in the center of the city. While you walk towards the Jajce Fortress and when you pass through the city gates you will enter in a city built for kings. Fortress of Jajce is part of the Old Town of Jajce and a marvel of Bosnian Medieval architecture
- Catacomb of Jajce - Catacombs of Jajce is the name given by locals to underground Christian small church so it is not a “catacomb” in true sense. Church has been carved in a single rock or a cave in late Romanesque style.
- Pliva Waterfall - What makes city of Jajce unique is that You are able to see and feel magnificent 21-meter-tall waterfall which is placed among 12 most beautiful in the world.
- Mlincici - Watermills located on river Pliva are only 5 kilometers away from center of Jajce. Twenty watermills dating since medieval period are built between Small and Large Pliva lake. Because of fairy-tale appearance they make amazing place for photos. Amazing enough, some of them are still in use.
After the Watermills we rest next to the banks of Pliva lake, which is the best place to have a lunch and get ready to come back to Sarajevo.

Great guide, fascinating stops, and achingly beautiful scenery – a wonderful introduction to Central Bosnia - Adis is a wonderful guide/driver, great with pre-trip planning, setting expectations for the day, and offering history both ancient and recent to put everything in context. He’s friendly and good natured, and gave us lots of choices so we could get the day we wanted.
The sites visited were fascinating, but the real star was the gorgeous countryside. If you haven’t had the chance to drive through central Bosnia (or Herzegovina on a different trip) you MUST. Turns out that some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery is hidden there.

Stunning Views - This tour is highly recommended. The scenery is serene. It decided to SNOW today in spring nonetheless we had an amazing time and spectacular views of the mountains from the fortresses. Fariz was an amazing guide and the driver was excellent in driving. They both are friendly and assured that we are comfortable. Fariz is knowledgeable and explained everything clearly to us. Me and my husband enjoyed the tour a lot.

Stunning nature of Bosnia with one of the best guides. - On the tour day, it was unfortunate that Travnik was heavily fogged (so hardly saw the scenery) and a few tourists spots were closed despite being in mid-week. Nonetheless, the scenery for the rest of the trip was absolutely stunning. Highlight of the tour was indeed the tour guide, Adnan. He shared with us his experiences of the war as a veteran, and his natural sense of humour helped to ease the disappointment for Travnik. It was a great get-away from the hustle and bustle of Sarajevo, to see the stunning nature of Bosnia. I would highly recommend this tour, and a bonus if you can have Adnan as your guide.
