Things to do

Fortica Panorama and Skywalk Visit

A flexible visit to the Fortica viewpoint and glass skywalk above Mostar, giving a broad panorama over the city, the Neretva valley and the surrounding mountains. The viewpoint visit is separate from the zipline, climbing, via ferrata and other paid adventure activities that may operate on the hillside, whose availability, access and suitability must be confirmed locally.

Mostar

Eat ćevapi where locals queue for them

Ćevapi — small skinless sausages of grilled minced meat, served in a warm lepinja flatbread with raw onion and kajmak — are Sarajevo’s everyday dish and the thing the city’s old bazaar does best. The ritual is to find the tiny ćevabdžinica where the queue is longest, order by the piece, and eat standing or perched on a stool.

Sarajevo

Hear the stories of the siege from a local guide

The siege of Sarajevo (1992–95) is recent living memory, and the most meaningful way to understand it is to walk the city with a local who lived through it — the front lines, the sniper alleys, the memorials and the Tunnel of Hope.

Sarajevo

Camp in the national park — Camp Buk and the riverside sites

Sleep inside the park: Camp Buk’s 10,000 m² of Una riverbank at Kulen Vakuf — room for 200 pitches, bungalows and a riverside restaurant — plus the quiet sites toward Martin Brod, with the waterfalls as your alarm clock.

Una National Park

Hike through the mountains and landscapes of Sutjeska

A walking journey across the wider mountain landscape of Sutjeska — the canyon, the high peaks, the Zelengora plateau and its lakes — the experience that ties the park’s separate sights into one wilderness.

Sutjeska National Park

Photograph Blidinje Lake and Dugo Polje

A respectful landscape and heritage photography experience across the lake and the Dugo Polje necropolis — changing light, mountain horizons and distance kept from fragile features.

Blidinje Nature Park

Walk through the Dugo Polje cultural landscape

A gentle cultural-landscape visit through the Dugo Polje necropolis and its pasture — a quiet walk among the stećci, not a measured or mapped hiking route.

Blidinje Nature Park

Plan a guided mountain day on Čvrsnica or Vran

A separately planned, guided high-mountain day on the Čvrsnica or Vran massif — qualified local guidance, current weather, seasonal snow, suitable equipment and a route matched to ability.

Blidinje Nature Park

Walking the Boardwalk Trails

Walk the marked boardwalk routes (A–H) over the lakes and between the waterfalls — the signature Plitvice experience, from a two-hour loop to a full-day circuit.

Plitvice Lakes

Sunset at Savudrija Cape

The coast-road drive to Croatia’s oldest lighthouse for sunset over the open sea toward Italy — with fish at the konoba by the light.

Umag

Varaždin Baroque Evenings

Croatia’s oldest classical music festival — two weeks of baroque music in the churches and halls of the former capital every September.

Varaždin

Dubrovnik Game of Thrones Filming Locations Walk

A walking route connecting the real Dubrovnik landmarks used among the filming locations for King’s Landing in Game of Thrones — Fort Lovrijenac, the West Harbour and Pile Bay, the city walls and Minčeta area, the Stradun and the Jesuit Steps — read against the city’s genuine history.

Dubrovnik

Lokrum Island Nature and Monastery Visit

A short boat crossing to the protected wooded island of Lokrum, with its Benedictine monastery complex, botanical garden, rocky coast and saltwater lake, and the views back towards Dubrovnik — the green counterpoint to the stone of the Old City.

Dubrovnik

Hike Mount Srđ on the Old Footpath

Climb Mount Srđ on foot from the Bosanka side — the old footpath to the summit cross and the Imperial Fortress, the hike alternative to the cable car with the full panorama over the walled city.

Dubrovnik

Cycling the Konavle Valley

Ride the flat green floor of the Konavle valley below the Sniježnica ridge — Dubrovnik’s rural hinterland of stone villages, the Ljuta river mills and Konavoski dvori — an easy half-day by bike from the coast.
