What your day looks like

Travnik and Jajce Waterfall Tour is a lovely daily tour from Sarajevo in which you will explore central Bosnia and its two most beautiful towns. Travnik: On the road towards west we will go to Travnik city, which, for many years, served as a capital of Bosnian eyalet and was known as Vizier City. Travnik is one of the best preserved cities from the Ottoman times. There are 28 protected cultural and historical buildings in this area. The most important of them are: the medieval fortress that was built in the 15th century. From overthere we will have a beautiful panoramic view on the city. We will see a very interesting mosqe - Sulejmanija or Šarena mosque, and Elči Ibrahim-Pasha madrassa – muslim school that is still used today. There are also two clock towers built in the 18th century, as well as a sundial, built in 1886. Travnik is known for lovely small river that we call Plava Voda or Blue Water. Spring of the river is just in the center of this small town where you can enjoy traditional Bosnian coffe. At the same place Franz Joseph tasted his best coffee paying it with a golden coin. Travnik is a birthplace of Ivo Andric, a Yugoslav novelist, and the 1961 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Jajce After visiting Travnik we will continue to Jajce, the capital of the independent medieval Kingdom of Bosnia, a city of stone, light and water. The royal castle, town-museum under the open sky, was built on the banks of the rivers Pliva and Vrbas. Once you are there, you will be able to feel mysterious history of the place. Our guide will show you the most prominent part of the city, its trademark, magnificent, 18 meter high waterfall, place where the river Pliva tumbles abruptly into the Vrbas river. Jajce waterfall dominates the center of the Old Town, which makes this place unique. We will explore beutiful nature of Jajce by going to Pliva Lakes and Ottoman-era Watermills located a few kilometers away from Jajce. Due to the historical, architectural, and geological value of the Pliva lakes and watermills were declared to be “National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina” in 2009. These two small but beautiful and historically very important and full of interesting monuments will surely charm you.
