Discover Montenegro & Bosnia-Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina, alongside Montenegro, have long been at the crossroads of ancient civilisations, offering a unique fusion of European and Near Eastern cultures. From bustling cities to quaint villages, the diversity here is remarkable, reflected in the rich traditions, varied religions, and stunning architectural styles. Beyond the urban areas, the region's raw natural beauty captivates, with ancient forests, rugged mountains, and the stunning Adriatic coastline. This journey leads us through these awe-inspiring landscapes, starting in the magnificent Bay of Kotor in Montenegro and culminating in the iconic Croatian city of Dubrovnik.

The adventure begins with a transfer from Dubrovnik Airport to Kotor, a picturesque town nestled in a fjord, boasting centuries of maritime history and Mediterranean charm. The next day, we explore Kotor’s Unesco-listed Old Town, a maze of cobblestone streets and historic palaces, before heading to Perast. This Venetian-influenced town, with its striking St. Nikola church, offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Kotor. A boat ride to the Lady of the Rocks island adds a magical touch, giving us a new perspective of Montenegro’s coastline.

From Kotor, the journey continues to Cetinje, Montenegro’s former capital, steeped in history and culture. The dramatic Ostrog Monastery, carved into a sheer cliff, is a spiritual and architectural marvel en route to the mountainous haven of Zabljak. Surrounded by alpine forests and the depths of Tara Canyon, Zabljak is the gateway to Durmitor National Park. Here, we walk around shimmering glacial lakes and visit traditional highland villages, savouring local Montenegrin cuisine.

Crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina, we travel through scenic mountain roads to Sarajevo, a city renowned for its cultural diversity and historical significance. Sarajevo's rich past comes alive on a city tour, from its Ottoman influences to the haunting remnants of the 1990s siege. A visit to the Sarajevo Tunnel Museum offers a moving insight into the resilience of its people during the war.

Next, we venture to Lukomir, Bosnia's highest village, where life seems to have paused in time. Walking along the Rakitnica Canyon, we admire breathtaking vistas and enjoy a hearty traditional lunch prepared by local villagers. In Mostar, the blend of Turkish and Herzegovinian architecture creates a visually stunning cityscape, and the iconic Stari Most bridge serves as a poignant reminder of the city’s turbulent history.

From Mostar, we visit the Ottoman town of Pocitelj, the verdant Kravica Waterfalls, and Blagaj, where the Buna Spring gushes from a dramatic cliffside next to a historic Dervish monastery. These stops offer a tranquil contrast to the urban vibrance of our journey.

Our final day includes a stop in Trebinje, where we enjoy a wine tasting at a family-owned winery, savouring the flavours of Herzegovinian vintages. The trip concludes in Dubrovnik, a spectacular walled city and Unesco World Heritage site. Whether strolling its ancient streets, walking atop the city walls, or swimming in the Adriatic, Dubrovnik provides a memorable ending to this journey through history, culture, and nature.
