Bosnia discovery 5-day tour from Trebinje.

This tour is provided by Monterrasol Travel, a company that specializes in year-round multi-day private car tours in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other Balkan countries.

Day 1. We depart from Trebinje and travel to Tvrdos to explore its Serbian Orthodox monastery, originally founded in the 15th century. At the Tvrdos winery we enjoy a tasting of their excellent red wines, particularly the local Vranec variety, known for its deep color and robust body. We then continue to the fascinating Vjetrenica cave system (UNESCO World Heritage Site), renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity and spectacular underground formations. Our journey proceeds to the iconic city of Mostar to explore its famous historical center (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and admire the reconstructed 16th-century Stari Most (Old Bridge), a powerful symbol of reconciliation. We will stay overnight in Mostar.

Day 2. After staying in Mostar, we travel to Medjugorje, a world-famous Roman Catholic pilgrimage center that has attracted millions of visitors since reported apparitions began in 1981. We then visit Podrumi Andrija, a family-owned winery where we sample their premium white wines, including Žilavka, a crisp Herzegovinian varietal with floral and fruit notes. Our day concludes at the spectacular Kravica waterfalls, a natural amphitheater of cascades on the Trebizat River, ideal for swimming and photography. After that, we will return to Mostar for accommodation.

Day 3. After 2 nights in Mostar, we take a short drive to Blagaj to visit the stunning Dervish monastery (Tekija) (UNESCO Tentative List Site), a 16th-century Sufi (Islamic) retreat dramatically built at the source of the emerald Buna River. We then travel to Konjic to see its iconic Old Stone Bridge from the 17th century. Our journey continues to Sarajevo with a poignant stop at the Tunnel of Hope museum, a preserved underground passage that served as a vital lifeline during the city's siege in the 1990s. After that, we will come to Sarajevo for accommodation.

Day 4. After staying in Sarajevo, we explore the city's historical center (UNESCO Tentative List Site), a vibrant mosaic of Eastern and Western influences. We see the Sacred Heart cathedral, visit the Gazi Husrev-beg museum, wander through the bustling Bascarsija old bazaar, and admire the elegant Sebilj fountain. We stay another night in Sarajevo.

Day 5. After 2 nights in Sarajevo, we ascend via the city's charming funicular for breathtaking panoramic views of the capital nestled in the valley. We then enjoy a scenic drive through the stunning Sutjeska National Park, one of Bosnia's oldest and most beautiful protected areas. Finally, we return to Trebinje, where our memorable journey concludes.

Overall, with this tour you will visit 2 UNESCO World Heritage sites and 2 sites from the UNESCO Tentative List.

We provide this tour year-round. We recommend you consider having a tour before or after the high season, when it is not so hot and not so crowded but all the sights and attractions are already or are still open. Especially, this applies to elderly people, who need to be careful with sun exposure and high temperatures.

We, at Monterrasol Travel, practice the Slow Tourism philosophy. That means that we work our tours at a pace that allows our clients to have a more authentic experience and a true exploration of each destination we visit. We dismiss the stress, the rush, the tight schedules and the crazy running from spot to spot, specially related to bus travel package tours for large groups.

We love to travel in a relaxed, not hurried way. All our tours have been designed with that key idea in mind, and try to keep balance between the places scheduled to visit and free time to take a break. Also, we do not like to keep our clients for a long time in the car due to the long distances between itinerary points, just the fair amount of time.

Transportation is in a minivan with air conditioner and English speaking driver. Feel free to ask to stop whenever you need, for a nice image or some snack. We are very flexible.

This tour (same as the other tours we offer) is available in English and Spanish. Disponible en Español.
