Why take this tour?

Upon leaving Sarajevo, the day's first stop is the UNESCO-protected medieval Stecak necropolis of Burati. Being hidden in the forest, this location will blow your mind.

Later we arrive at Visegrad, home to another UNESCO-protected site, the famous Mehmed-pasa Sokolovic bridge. The 11-arched bridge spanning over the green Drina River is a true masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. In Visegrad, we will also visit Andricgrad, a town dedicated to world-renowned Nobel prize winner Ivo Andric. 

A beautiful boat cruise on the Drina River is a must-do.

After Visegrad, before crossing the border into Serbia, we will make a short stop at the 14th-century Orthodox monastery at Dobrun.

Once in Serbia, an unmissable experience will be a Sargan Eight train ride. A narrow gauge (760mm) steam railway called Ćira that once connected Sarajevo and Belgrade today is a great experience.

A Drvengrad (eng. wooden town), we will stop for lunch and free time to explore this town made by Emir Kusturica.

Last stop of the day, before return to Sarajevo, will be at Tara National Park with its stunning viewpoint Banjska Stena.
