Jajce and Travnik are two of Bosnia's most significant and least visited cities — the kind of places locals consider symbols of their country while most international visitors have never heard of them. This full-day tour from Sarajevo changes that. Two medieval towns, one river valley, and a side of Bosnia that has nothing to prove and everything to show.
Jajce was the royal capital of the last Bosnian kingdom — a walled hilltop town where a waterfall drops directly into the city center, glacial Pliva Lakes sit minutes away, and medieval streets run alongside Ottoman layers in a way that makes history feel genuinely alive. Travnik follows — home to a commanding 15th-century fortress, a vivid Ottoman old town, and the birthplace of Ivo Andrić, Bosnia's only Nobel Prize winner in literature. Guests interested in the controversial Bosnian Pyramids can add a stop in Visoko on request.
Two cities most travelers miss entirely. One day that changes that completely.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We pick up our guests in the center of Sarajevo and in the places which are on the way of the tour.
Our agency is fairly easy to find. Follow the stream of the river Miljacka from the Latin Bridge and next to the bridge Ćumurija, on the left side of the river, you will see a big GREEN-YELLOW building. The name of the building is Papagajka and our office is on the corner of the building.
