Itinerary

Welcome to Bosnia

Dobrodosli o Bosno!

Welcome to Bosnia!

Technically, it's also Welcome to Croatia, since this is where you'll be arriving. We've arranged to pick you up at Dubrovnik Airport, and then take you across the border into Bosnia. Enjoy the scenic views as you're driven along the Adriatic Coast!

Once we're across the border, we'll head towards the scenic town of Stolac for lunch. You'll have some time to freshen up and walk around here, along with making a trip to the local mini waterfall.

Special activity: We've arranged for you to visit one of the oldest and most beautiful Muslim houses in the area, where you'll take part in a fig-cake-making activity. Fig-cake is a Stolac speciality and once you've tried Azra's recipe, you won't want to try any other!

This evening you'll spend your first night in Mostar, at our 4* hotel.

Pro tips: If you're taking an early-morning flight, bring some snacks such as fresh fruit and nuts with you, to keep you energised. The drive from Dubrovnik - Stolac is between 2-3 hours.

Overnight in Mostar

Enjoy a lie-in this morning, or take some free time to explore the Old Town of Mostar. We've selected your hotel so that you're within walking distance, so if you happen to be up early, you can pray fajr in one of the local historic mosques and then watch the sunrise over Stari Most bridge. It's simply stunning to witness.

This afternoon, we'll be taking you out for lunch at Blagaj, where an old Ottoman-era Dervish Lodge sits at the bottom of a cliff-face. Enjoy your lunch here by the rushing waters of the River Buna. It's here that you can pray your dhuhr and asr salaat and spend some time in peaceful contemplation.

After lunch and prayers, we'll take you to the fortress of Pocitelj, where you'll see wild fig and pomegranate trees growing and vendors selling natural juices. If you walk to the top of the fortress you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views over the Neretva River, as far as the eye can see.

You'll end the day at Kravice Falls, so be sure to bring your burkini or something that dries quickly when it gets wet!

Overnight in Mostar

The train departs at 06:36 from Mostar station.

This morning you'll be getting an early start, but it's well worth it! You'll take a ride on the Talgo train between Mostar-Sarajevo, and enjoy stunning views of the Neretva River along the way. It really is a unique experience!

Once in Sarajevo, we'll be taking you to the Tunnel of Hope. No visit to Bosnia is truly complete without learning about the war that shook this country in the 1990s, and today you'll hear from the locals how they built up their resistance.

You'll have some chance to reflect on your new-found knowledge in Vrelo Bosne, one of Bosnia's national parks, before we take you into the heart of the city, the Bascarsija. Here we'll take you for lunch - the way the locals do - before giving you some free time to explore at your leisure.
Pro tip: We highly recommend listening to our podcast before visiting Sarajevo, so that you have some background knowledge first.

Later, we'll take you to check-in to your 4* hotel, where you can rest and enjoy some free time.

Get ready to visit the beautiful town of Jajce, where in the city centre you'll be visiting Jajce waterfalls (yep, it's actually in the city!).

From here we'll take you to explore the scenic surroundings of Jajce, with its mini waterfalls, watermills, and beautiful Pliva Lake. We'll take you on a boat trip on Pliva Lake and then take you out for lunch at Semesnica.

If you generally spend a lot of time back home indoors, in an office or in the city, today is a real antidote to modern-day living and will bring peace to mind, body and spirit.

Overnight in Sarajevo

We've kept this morning free so that you can have a lie-in, or get some last-minute souvenirs from the Bascarsija. We highly recommend the fresh coffee, baklawa and embroidered cushion covers 🙂

Around midday, you'll check out of your hotel and begin the beautiful drive back to Mostar. We'll stop along the way in Jablanica for our scenic farewell lunch overlooking the lake. It's been an adventure, and what better way to end than enjoying good food together surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.

Once in Mostar, the evening is free for you to enjoy at your leisure.

Overnight in Mostar.

After breakfast, we’ll take you back to Dubrovnik Airport for your return flight home.

-Please ensure that your flight does not depart before 12 pm so that you have time for breakfast before we begin the drive to Dubrovnik.

Should you wish to extend your stay in Bosnia, let us know and we can assist you with accommodation, transport and anything else you require.

Thank you for travelling with us!

What Our Guests Say

"I can't recommend this trip enough!"

"I was lucky enough to go on the Bosnia April 6-13th Trip - I can't recommend this trip enough!
Soumaya has clearly handpicked and researched the itinerary extensively - from hotels and restaurant choices, to seeking the best tour guides. It's often hard to put your trust into someone else to organise a trip catered to you - but I can honestly say she nailed it."
