Opis

Day 1: Sarajevo Airport – Transfer to Sarajevo (Bosnia & Herzegovina) (6km – 20min)


Meet and greet the group at Sarajevo International Airport. Transfer to the hotel only 15min.(Please let us know your flight details in order to organize the first and the last day)Sarajevo, capital and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most oriental and culturally diverse cities in Europe, and had spent over 300 years under Turkish rule until the Austro-Hungarians arrived in the late nineteenth century. The empire collapsed 50 years later when Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated here, hastening the outbreak of the First World War. The late twentieth century saw Sarajevo host the Winter Olympics in 1984, and the most important event is the long siege of the city during the recent conflict. Panoramic walk to see the best of Sarajevo, we’re first going through all the sights of the city’s Ottoman Old Town. From there, it’s about digging into Sarajevo’s tragic history, but also finding the city’s most curious and beautiful spots along the way. Dating from the Middle Ages, the streets of this marketplace have long been a place for craftsmen to trade their wares. You’ll find stores selling metalwork, jewelry, and clothes, among the restaurants and cafes that also call the bazaar home. Perhaps the most impressive landmark found within Sarajevo’s Old Town is the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, built in 1532. Off along the outside of the Bezistan Covered Market, you’ll find the open air ruins of the Tašlihan, an Ottoman caravanserai from the 16th century, although only foundations of the building now remain. However, the spot that most travelers to Sarajevo make sure they visit is the Latin Bridge, where the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914, starting the events that would spark the First World War.

Dinner and overnight in Sarajevo


Day 2: Sarajevo


Today we’ll learn more about the war of Sarajevo. A journey into the tunnel of Sarajevo, a 700 meter underground track which, for the inhabitants of the Bosnian capital, meant the difference between life and death. For the people of Sarajevo “the tunnel” is the symbol of courage and survival. For the Serbs of Bosnia Herzegovina it's the place where Serbs were killed and tortured. The museum displays weaponry and ephemera from the war and allows us to explore a short distance into the tunnel. The war may be over, but the Sarajevo War Tunnel Museum makes sure that no one will forget the unstoppable determination and resourcefulness of Sarajevo’s citizens. Free afternoon in Sarajevo

Dinner and overnight in Sarajevo


Day 03: Sarajevo – Mostar – Split (Croatia) (275km – 5h30min)


Today after breakfast, our drive to Mostar, passing along the Neretva River will be just stunning. Lots of sights to see and places to stop. The road snakes through a few tunnels and along very picturesque gorges. Little villages dot the way and there are quite a few places to stop for refreshments. Once in the town, take some time to explore, perhaps admiring the famous arched bridge and visiting the Old Bazaar alongside historical mosques and the Turkish House. Mostar has a charm like nowhere else. It's a very compact little town and the Mostar Bridge is the main attraction, listed under UNESCO Heritage, but it has that something special that can't be listed in 'attractions' or 'sights'. It is great to have some free time to just stroll around, do some shopping, and watch the bridge jumpers. After traditional lunch in a local restaurant, continue our drive approximately for 3.5hrs to Split

Dinner and overnight in Split


Day 04: Split – Plitvice National Park (250km – 3h30min)

Split most famous feature is its Diocletian’s Palace consider to be most spectacular. Built towards the end of the 3rd century AD, is the most significant Roman site in Croatia. Originally created for the Emperor, the old city of Split was constructed for his retirement. The inner workings of the old city are intricate — filled with narrow cobblestone streets and high arches — and despite their age, are well intact. The hyper-center of the old town is Peristil Square, which was originally used for celebrations to honor Diocletian as the living son of Jupiter.

Embraced by high wooded mountains, one beneath another lie sixteen beautiful lakes of crystal blue-green water. Connected to each other by a series of foaming cascades and thundering waterfalls, the lakes are fed by many rivers and streams, resembling a pearl, all embraced in a magic greenery of the forests and meadows. Over the millennia, waters of these lakes have dissolved the limestone rock and carved out the valley in which they now lie. Each of the four seasons has its own little story of different colors, sounds, patter of the waterfalls, odors and quietness - life in a word. After a delicious lunch, we’ll drive to Zagreb for 2 hours.
