On this tour we will visit Travnik and Jajce, the two Bosnian gems which represent the fascinating heritage and history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Travnik, the Viziers town and Jajce, a King’s town.
Driving from Sarajevo our first stop is Travnik which was one the capital town of governors’, also known as the Ottoman Vizier Town. We will see the colorful mosque of Sultan Sulejman which is specific for the amount of color interlaced into its decoration. We’ll pass on to the vizier tombs, known as the Ottoman Turbe and a picturesque cemetery. Also we will visit the monastery of St Luke and the Church of St Mary. Then we’ll walk up the hill to see the Travnik Fortress and beyond the fortress you will see an uphill trail which leads up to the famous mount Vlašic.
Next stop will be Jajce. Known as the King's town, just like Travnik, located in a valley and watched over by a fascinating roman Fortress. Differently to Travnik, the Jajce fortress stands in the middle of the town and everything else is built around the hill where the fortress is located. Jajce is a town built in the 14th century, during those times it was the capital of the Independent Kingdom of Bosnia. It was protected by a large city gate which we will also visit. After, we move on to the most famous site of Jajce, which is the river Pliva waterfall which is located below the old town and this is the place where the river Pliva flows into the river Vrbas.
