Night and the City

Suggestion to explore on your own

Discover the beauty of Dubrovnik while strolling down its cobbled streets and have a drink on the main street, where you can simply sit back and observe the world bustling around you. Head to the beloved local spot, Gradska Kavana Arsenal Restaurant, and you'll instantly feel like you've entered a living piece of history. It is a must-visit spot for anyone wanting to soak up the city's authentic vibe. And then there's the secret garden M'arden – a hidden gem nestled within the ancient city walls. It's the kind of place that whispers tranquility, inviting you to escape the hustle and bustle. As the night falls, the garden transforms into a magical retreat, making it a perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful and enchanting experience. For a different perspective, venture to the famous Buza Bar. With a name translating to "Hole in the Wall," Buza is not just a great bar but a lovely location, offering breathtaking views of incredible scenery at sunset. These three places, each with its unique charm, capture the essence of Dubrovnik in ways that words can only begin to describe.

One of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean, Korcula is instantly recognizable from its red-roofed houses and stunning walled-in Old Town, which juts out into the sea. Two of the biggest attractions are the Cathedral of St. Marco and Marco Polo's original home. One of the greenest islands on the Adriatic, Korcula is poised on the edge of nature on both sides, with rolling hills for hiking and biking behind it, and incredible beaches along the coast. This is the ideal stopover between Dubrovnik and Hvar, and is a pleasant destination for a several-day stay. The island produces some of the region’s finest white wines. Just a brief ferry ride away, the neighboring Peljesac peninsula produces amazing red wines. Mljet, a stunning lake with an island complete with its own monastery, is one of the most impressive day trips from Korcula. You can also take the opportunity to go fishing in the alluring blue waters off the coast, or explore the nearby islands by boat. One of the most unique activities in Korcula is Moreska, an incredible combat dance performance performed by knights with swords. But even if you stay in town, there’s plenty to see. Korcula has a long, varied history going back to the ancient Greeks. The local cultural museums are the best way to get in touch with the past here, even as you enjoy the best Korcula has to offer today.

A quiet little town with architecture impressive enough to bring UNESCO World Heritage status, Mostar's long history is impossible to miss. You’ll find it nestled in a valley amid the mountains of Herzegovina, where the cultures of East and West come together, as evidenced by bazaars, mosques, tea houses and the Turkish House. The most famous landmark here is a beloved Ottoman stone bridge connecting the town's two halves. Mostar was badly damaged during fighting in the 90s, but has been lovingly restored, especially the bridge, which is famous as a springboard for local daredevil divers. Mostar is small but filled with architectural relics and interesting pieces of history. Your best bet will be to take a private tour with a local guide, who will show you all the most incredible sites the city has to offer. There are several museums here that will give you insight into Mostar’s vibrant, volatile past. The city’s location also makes it ideal for different day trips throughout the region, and the mountains provide numerous outdoor activities for nature lovers.

Meet Mostar

Suggestion to explore on your own

Welcome to Mostar, a literal meeting point of cultures, especially the Hapsburgs and Ottomans. These connections are represented by the famous Old bridge across the Neretva River, and the distinction between the two sides of the town is visible to this day. Take a walk down cobblestone streets to the iconic bridge, enjoy the hustle of the street bazaars, and have a traditional meal in one of the restaurants by the river. If you have a sweet tooth, make sure to try one of the traditional desserts as well, which are very, very sweet and equally tasty. We recommend hurmasice (syrup-drenched pastries), kadaif (kanafeh), or our all-time favorite, tufahija (walnut-stuffed apples poached in sugar water).

Taste the Cuisine

Suggestion to explore on your own

When it comes to the variety of local cuisine, Mostar is a great city to visit. The best simple restaurants serving the most popular Bosnian & Herzegovinian cuisine are located in the old city. Look for restaurants such as Sadrvan, Hindin Han, Emen, and Monte Rosa. Be sure to try Ćevapi, a traditional Bosnian dish featuring grilled minced meat, often served with flatbread and a side of ajvar. On the other hand, if you're looking for fancier places, we recommend TABOO, Prestige, Gonzales Gastro Pub, and MEGI Le Petit.

Today you will be picked up at your accommodation in Mostar and driven to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Sarajevo. The total duration of this trip is about 2.5 hours. Along the way, you'll pass close by Konjic, site of a low six-arched Ottoman-era bridge. Take time on the journey to stop for lunch at one of the great lamb-on-a-spit places along the road. Our favorite is Kovacevic near Jablanica, the views from the terrace are worth the stop itslef.

A cosmopolitan city, Sarajevo's sheer religious and cultural diversity earned it the nickname "Jerusalem of the Balkans." While the prosperity that brought it the 1984 Winter Olympics has since faded, the city remains unique. Nestled among endless hills and towering mountains, it feels isolated yet central, quaint yet cosmopolitan. The Old Town, known as Bascarsija, with cobblestone streets, mosques and bazaars that betray its Ottoman heritage. There’s a vibrant combination of cultures here, which has had wonderful effects on the eclectic cuisine, the incredibly welcoming locals and the impressive architecture. And within that mix is the city’s dramatic and often volatile history. History is alive in Sarajevo, and you’ll find reminders of past triumphs and tragedies as you explore this lovely city. No visit is complete without a feast of the local meat specialties from the grill, including the mouthwatering Cevapcici. Explore the city’s unique history at the Tunnel of Hope, constructed between March and June of 1993 during the Siege of Sarajevo in the midst of the Bosnian War, the longest modern siege of a capital city. These days it’s an evocative museum. You’ll also want to visit the ruins of the Olympic Games in the hills outside the city. It’s haunting and beautiful to see the abandoned ski jump and luge tracks.

Suggestion to explore on your own

Some of the most popular nightlife venues in Sarajevo are located on Zelenih Beretki Street, where you will find more than a few local bars. Centrally located, most of these have live music events, with people gathering both in and out of the bars to listen and enjoy a drink. Don't be shy about ordering a drink even if you're just standing in the street outside or feel awkward about joining a table with some free space - that's a common thing!

Sarajevo's Best Museums

Suggestion to explore on your own

Each museum in Sarajevo reflects the history and lives of locals in very different circumstances, and each one will significantly help you understand this unique city and its determined citizens. Museums centered around the fighting in the 90s are exceptionally emotional and include the War Tunnel (the sole source of aid and weapons during the Siege of Sarajevo), Gallery 11/07/95 (named for the date of the Srebrenica Massacre), and especially the War Childhood Museum. If you're interested in more distant history, seek out Svrzo's House (a traditional Bosnian house) and the National Museum. We also recommend visiting the Jewish Museum to learn about the very complicated and interesting history of Bosnia's long-lived Jewish community.

Sarajevo's Best Museums

Authentic Local Shopping

Suggestion to explore on your own

Sarajevo is one of the best shopping places in the region, so make sure to take advantage of it.

The Roman Emperor Diocletian made Split his home in the 4th Century AD, building a vast palace complex on the waterfront that stands to this day. In fact several of the accommodation options we offer in Split are nestled inside its ancient walls. These days there is an embankment in front of Diocletian's palace but the water used to go right up to the main wall. It's on this man-made strip of land that you'll find the Riva, a pedestrian promenade bustling with life. Split's UNESCO listed Old Town is contained within these old walls and is a pedestrian-only maze that it is quite easy, but fun, to get lost in. Who know what romantic hidden cafés you might find in one of the narrow streets and alleyways? To get the best out of your time in Split, however, we recommend taking a tour with a local guide. Split is very well connected for flights, with an international airport a half hour drive away and is a popular stopping point for our guests on their way between Dubrovnik and the islands of Hvar, Vis, or Korcula, all easily reached by a ferry from Split's port. If you base yourself in Split for a few days, you will find it is also perfect located for visits to some of Croatia's most stunning national parks.

On the West Coast (Zapadna Obala), you will discover an interesting fact about Split: it is considered the sportiest town in the world.
