Explore Bosnia and Herzegovina with Benny's Royal Tours: Unforgettable Journey from Cochin to Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka and Blagaj

Bosnia and Herzegovina captivates visitors with its historical layers, beautiful landscapes, and rich traditions. Your journey begins in Sarajevo, where the blend of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture is striking. The Baščaršija bazaar hums with merchants selling copperware and handmade crafts, while the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque remains a tranquil sanctuary amidst the bustling old town.

The Latin Bridge is a sobering reminder of the assassination that triggered World War I. The Sacred Heart Cathedral stands nearby, showcasing the city's diverse faiths. The Sarajevo Tunnel Museum tells the harrowing story of the city's siege and the resilience of its people.

Mostar’s Old Bridge is the highlight of the city, gracefully arching over the Neretva River. The bridge serves as a symbol of unity and hope, having been painstakingly rebuilt after its wartime destruction. The Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque provides a peaceful vantage point to gaze over the riverbanks.

Blagaj is a serene retreat, where the Dervish Monastery is built into the rock face by the river. The tranquil atmosphere and clear blue waters are mesmerizing. Počitelj offers a different kind of medieval charm, with its stone houses and fortress perched on a hillside.

Banja Luka, known for its tree-lined avenues and riverfront parks, feels more relaxed. The Kastel Fortress offers a glimpse into the city's past, while the restored Ferhadija Mosque stands as a testament to reconciliation.

Jajce is a delightful surprise, with its waterfall plunging dramatically into the Vrbas River. The ancient fortress and catacombs provide a glimpse into the town’s medieval history, while the Temple of Mithras hints at even older origins.

Returning to Sarajevo, the final day is best spent soaking up the city's atmosphere over Bosnian coffee or shopping for souvenirs like hand-painted ceramics.
