8 Day Cultural Bosnia & Croatia Discovery
8 Day Cultural Bosnia & Croatia Discovery
It doesn’t take long to appreciate why Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have been fought over for centuries by foreign powers. The Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, Soviets, and others have all laid claim to these ruggedly beautiful nations at varying points in history, and while each has left its mark on the local culture, both countries have embraced their independence with fierce pride. Alpine forests, stunning architecture, Adriatic charm and more await curious travelers on this trip. Join us and discover for yourself what you never knew you were missing.
We begin in Sarajevo, the political and cultural heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a private tour through the city’s fascinating and often turbulent history, including stops at the Turkish-influenced Bašcaršija marketplace, the historic Morica Han caravanserai, and the Sarajevo Tunnel, which kept the besieged city alive during the 1992-95 Bosnian War. Later, get an early start and hike up stunning Bjelašnica for an incredible view of the Rakitnica river valley and lunch along the way in the isolated mountain town of Umoljani before a full-day tour of Mostar, the historical capital of Herzegovina and site of the famed 16th-century Stari Most bridge. A one-time mercantile power that lured artists, poets, and scientists to its charming Baroque Old Town, seaside Dubrovnik comes by its “Pearl of the Adriatic” nickname honestly. Here, you’ll take a lovely privately guided walking tour of this UNESCO-protected gem with stops at a Franciscan monastery that preserves the contents of a 14th-century pharmacy, the Gothic Rector’s Palace, and other enchanting landmarks. Next, unwind on a private tour of the gorgeous Konavle region with visits to coastal Cavtat and Cilipi, where you’ll be welcomed into a local family’s home for a traditional Dalmatian peka lunch before free time to explore the boutiques, cafes, and winding streets of Dubrovnik on your own.
