Foča

Foča sits on the Drina in the southeast of Bosnia & Herzegovina, reached by road from Sarajevo via the regional route through Eastern Bosnia, and from the Mostar and Višegrad directions along the valleys of the Neretva and the Drina. Intercity buses link Foča with Sarajevo and the surrounding towns, but a private vehicle, a rented car or an arranged transfer is the practical way to reach the Tara Canyon launch points above the town. There is no rail link to Foča.

For the town day, comfortable walking shoes and modest clothing for the Aladža Mosque (shoulders and knees covered; scarves are usually provided) are the baseline. For the Tara Canyon rafting day, wear clothing and footwear that can get wet and bring a change of dry clothes, as the operator advises; the operator supplies the raft and safety equipment. Carry some cash (BAM) for the town centre and riverside cafés, and confirm rafting arrangements with a licensed local operator in advance.

The old centre of Foča and the Drina riverfront are compact and largely flat, and walkable for most visitors. The Aladža Mosque is reached on foot from the riverfront and requires removing shoes and climbing steps at the entrance. The Tara Canyon rafting day is an adventure activity run on a river through a deep gorge, and is not accessible to visitors with significant mobility concerns; suitability is set by the operator according to the river conditions and the experience of the group.
