Driving routes, distances and day-trip ideas nearby.
A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.
An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.
All day
A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.
Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.
The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.
All day
A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.
Up to 36 °C in the days ahead — do the walking in the morning and spend midday indoors.
A day for what needs time and attention: museums, historic quarters, and lunch somewhere locals actually go.

Private transfer Dubrovnik and Mostar — rated 5 from 44 reviews.
Many museums close on a Monday or Tuesday — check the opening hours before you set out.
Get beyond the city: the nearby towns and countryside are usually what stays with you. A rental car is the practical way — public transport on these routes is slow and infrequent.

Super honest and friendly tour from first-hand experience
Highly recommended! Sheva is a super honest and friendly guy who gives you a really good perspective from his own experience. He will also give you recommendations for local places to go for food, musea, etc. I have not done any other tours but if you pick this one I guarantee you, you will not regret it. Fee is really…
Best Tour Ever!
Sheva led the best free walking tour we’ve ever been on (and we’ve gone on many of them throughout Europe)! He was extremely knowledgeable about Bosnia & Herzegovina through his lives experience of the country, its past, and its present. Do not miss out on this experience and learning more than you could imagine about…
Good
The restaurant serves fish and a combination of bosnian food and mediterranean. If you are looking for a break from the cevappi and want a healthier option i would definitely recommend it! The only down side is that it full by 7 p.m so its hard to have a late dinner
Good insight
This was a good museum to understand the reasoning behind the Bosnian war in the 90’s and gives a great insight into the UN intervention. I would recommend doing this before the museum of genocide to get good background information. You can get a combined ticket for a discounted price. Worth the visit.
