Our 2026 Bosnia & Croatia Journey
Sarajevo — Where Our Journey Began
Our journey began in Sarajevo, a city shaped by an extraordinary history. From ancient Illyrian and Roman civilizations to medieval Bosnian kingdom, centuries of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian rule, and the Yugoslav era, each left its mark on the region. We explored historic Baščaršija, visited the famous Sarajevo Brewery, learned about the city's recent wartime history at the Tunnel of Hope, and enjoyed a horse-drawn carriage ride through Ilidža, once a fashionable Austro-Hungarian spa retreat, to the beautiful springs of the Bosna River.
Experiencing Local Life
We explored Trebinje's lively green market, discovering fresh seasonal produce, homemade specialties, and local traditions. Then we relaxed at a charming outdoor café, enjoying espresso and cappuccino while watching the town come to life
Rafting on the Neretva River
One of the highlights of our journey! We rafted through the spectacular Neretva River canyon, rode the cable car to Sarajevo's Olympic Mountain Trebević, hiked down the historic Olympic bobsleigh track, and braved the icy-cold waters beneath Kravice Waterfalls!
