Arrive in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) to your hotel in Dubrovnik
- Repas du soir
- Nuit : Dubrovnik
- Environ 30 min de route

Fly into Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) at Čilipi, about 20 km south-east of the old town. A driver meets you whatever time you land and takes you to a central hotel for two nights.
Soir
Plan to land by about 4 pm if you want to join the evening walk; the exact time is confirmed with your final itinerary. In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the ten days ahead: three countries, two border crossings, a one-way route that ends in Belgrade, and how the walking is paced. Then we walk in through the Pile Gate and down the Stradun, the polished limestone main street, after the day visitors and cruise passengers have gone and the stone turns gold in the low light. Dinner is together at a restaurant in or near the old town, a first taste of Dalmatian fish, olive oil and local wine.
Compris
- Pick-up at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), whatever time you land
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Evening walk through the Pile Gate and along the Stradun
- Welcome dinner
Temps libre : Free until the early-evening briefing
Dubrovnik: the walls at opening
Dubrovnik old town on foot
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Dubrovnik

We are at the city walls when they open, around 8 am in the main season, to walk the full circuit of about 2 km before the heat and the cruise crowds arrive. The walk looks down on terracotta roofs, the old harbour and Lokrum island, and climbs to the Minčeta Tower, the highest point. Afterwards a licensed local guide takes us through the old town at street level: the Rector's Palace, the Sponza Palace, the Franciscan monastery with its old pharmacy, and the story of the 1991 to 1992 siege that you can still read in the mismatched roof tiles.
Matin
The tour ends by late morning.
Soir
Lunch and the afternoon are yours: swim off the rocks below the walls, take the small boat to Lokrum, or ride the cable car up Mount Srđ for the view back over the city at sunset. Your guide suggests places to eat away from the Stradun prices.
Compris
- Dubrovnik city walls at opening, full circuit (ticket included)
- Old town walk with a licensed local guide: the Rector's Palace, the Sponza Palace and the Franciscan monastery
Activités en option
- Boat to Lokrum island
- Mount Srđ cable car
- Sea kayaking below the walls
Option plus facile : Walk the walls from the Pile Gate as far as the Minčeta Tower and leave at the next exit; the steps are steepest on the land side.
Option plus active : Walk up Mount Srđ on the zigzag path (about 400 m of climb) in the late afternoon and take the cable car down.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : The walls involve many steps and little shade. Go early, bring water and a hat.
Trebinje, Radimlja and on to Mostar
Dubrovnik across the border to Trebinje, then Stolac (Radimlja) and Mostar
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Mostar
- Environ 3.5 h de route
We leave Dubrovnik at about 8:30 am and climb behind the city to the border at Gornji Brgat and Ivanica; Trebinje is only half an hour beyond it. This quiet Herzegovinian town has a walled Ottoman old town, a market square shaded by plane trees where farmers sell cheese, honey and dried figs, and the 16th-century Arslanagić bridge over the Trebišnjica.
Après-midi
We walk the town with your guide and sit down to lunch there. In the afternoon the road crosses the karst uplands to Stolac, where the Radimlja necropolis holds more than a hundred stećci, carved medieval tombstones with figures, hunting scenes and spirals, part of a group listed by UNESCO in 2016. From there it is under an hour to Mostar, where we arrive in the late afternoon and stay two nights.
Soir
The evening is free; the walk down to the river as the bridge lights come on is the obvious first stop.
Compris
- Trebinje old town, market square and the Arslanagić bridge
- Sit-down lunch in Trebinje
- Radimlja necropolis and its stećci tombstones near Stolac
Temps libre : Evening free in Mostar
Activité : Border waits are added to the drive time; they are usually short but can run to an hour on summer weekends.
Mostar early, then Blagaj and Počitelj
Mostar old town, then Blagaj and Počitelj and back
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Mostar
- Environ 1.5 h de route

Matin
Mostar fills with day visitors from the coast from late morning, so we go out early. At 8 am a local guide walks us to the Old Bridge, built in 1566, destroyed in 1993 and rebuilt in 2004, while it is nearly empty and the light comes down the Neretva gorge onto the white stone. Climb the minaret of the Koski Mehmed Pasha mosque for the view down onto the bridge, then walk the Kujundžiluk, the old coppersmiths' street, as the shops open. Mid-morning we drive twenty minutes to Blagaj, passing the Orthodox church of St Basil of Ostrog, to the place where the Buna river rises from a cave at the foot of a high cliff.
Après-midi
Beside the spring stands the tekke, an Ottoman-era dervish house you can visit inside, and lunch is on a terrace over the water. On the way back we stop at Počitelj, a fortified Ottoman village stacked up a hillside above the Neretva, and return to Mostar by about 4 pm.
Compris
- Mostar old town walk with a local guide, starting at the Old Bridge at 8 am
- Koski Mehmed Pasha mosque and minaret

Temps libre : Late afternoon and evening free
Activité : Remove shoes and cover shoulders and knees in the mosque and the tekke; scarves are lent at the door. Počitelj is all steep stone steps.
Konjic and Tito's bunker, then Sarajevo
Mostar up the Neretva to Konjic, then over the Ivan pass to Sarajevo
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Sarajevo
- Environ 2.5 h de route

We follow the Neretva north through its gorge, the river running green between limestone walls and the lakes behind its dams, past Jablanica to Konjic. Hidden in the hillside outside the town is ARK D-0, the nuclear bunker built in secret for Tito and the Yugoslav command between 1953 and 1979, and shown on guided visits that we book ahead. The tour takes about an hour through its long corridors, command rooms and dormitories, kept with their original furniture, and some contemporary art shown there.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal in Konjic near its rebuilt Ottoman stone bridge. From there the road climbs over the Ivan pass to Sarajevo, about two and a half hours of driving in all. We check in for two nights in the mid-afternoon, and in the late afternoon your guide walks you through Baščaršija, the Ottoman bazaar quarter, past the Sebilj fountain and the Gazi Husrev-beg mosque, and along Ferhadija, where the Ottoman city turns into an Austro-Hungarian one.
Compris
- Guided visit to Tito's bunker (ARK D-0) at Konjic
- Sit-down lunch in Konjic

Sarajevo: the siege and the city
Sarajevo, the Tunnel of Hope and Trebević
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Sarajevo
- Environ 30 min de route
Matin
This morning a licensed local guide takes us through the siege of 1992 to 1996, the longest of a capital city in modern European history. We drive along the boulevard once known as Sniper Alley to Butmir, where the Tunnel of Hope museum keeps a short section of the tunnel dug under the airport runway in 1993, the city's lifeline for food, fuel and people. Back in the centre we stop at the Latin Bridge, where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot on 28 June 1914, and at the City Hall, burned with the National Library in 1992 and reopened in 2014.
Après-midi
Lunch is at an aščinica, a Bosnian home-cooking canteen. The afternoon is free. The Trebević cable car, reopened in 2018, climbs the mountain above the city to the graffiti-covered bobsled track from the 1984 Winter Olympics, a good walk in the late light, and your ticket is included.
Compris
- Siege of Sarajevo tour with a local guide
- Tunnel of Hope museum
- The Latin Bridge and the City Hall (Vijećnica)

To the bridge on the Drina
Sarajevo east through Pale and Rogatica to Višegrad
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Višegrad
- Environ 2.5 h de route
Matin
The morning in Sarajevo is yours, a chance for Gallery 11/07/95, the Jewish Museum or a last coffee in Baščaršija; we leave at 10:30 am. The road runs east over the hills through Pale and Rogatica and drops into the Drina valley, about 115 km and two and a quarter hours.
Après-midi
Lunch is by the river in Višegrad, looking at the reason we stop here: the Mehmed Paša Sokolović bridge, eleven stone arches completed in 1577 to a design by the Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, listed by UNESCO in 2007 and the subject of Ivo Andrić's novel The Bridge on the Drina. Your guide walks you across it and through Andrićgrad, the stone town-within-a-town built in 2014 in Andrić's honour. In the late afternoon a boat takes us out on the Drina between the green hills.
Soir
Staying here one night splits the Sarajevo to Belgrade road, about six and a quarter hours of driving in one go, into two shorter days.
Compris
- The Mehmed Paša Sokolović bridge with your guide
- Andrićgrad
- Boat trip on the Drina
- Sit-down lunch by the river in Višegrad
Temps libre : Morning free in Sarajevo; evening free in Višegrad
Activité : Višegrad is a small town with a small choice of hotels; this is the trip's only one-night stop.
The Šargan Eight and on to Belgrade
Višegrad across the border to Mokra Gora, then Užice and Belgrade
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Belgrade
- Environ 4 h de route
We leave Višegrad at 8 am. A short drive up the Drina's side valley brings us to the border at Vardište and Kotroman and into Serbia, and we reach Mokra Gora by about 10 am, in time for the 10:30 am departure of the Šargan Eight, the first train of the day in season (timetable confirmed at booking). This restored narrow-gauge railway climbs the hills in a figure-of-eight loop through tunnels and over viaducts, built to cross a slope too steep for a straight line. We take the full return trip with its stops at viewpoints and old stations, about two and a half hours in all, of which the running time is well under an hour.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal at Mokra Gora, near Drvengrad, the wooden village built by the film director Emir Kusturica.
Soir
In the afternoon we drive past Užice and up the motorway to Belgrade, about three hours, arriving in the early evening. This is the longest day on the road, about four hours of driving in all, with the train and lunch in the middle. The evening is free.
Compris
- Šargan Eight heritage railway at Mokra Gora
- Sit-down lunch at Mokra Gora
- Drvengrad wooden village
Temps libre : Evening free in Belgrade
Activité : We leave Višegrad at 8 am to make the 10:30 am train. Drive time is about 4 hours plus the border; the train ride (about 2.5 hours with stops) and lunch break it in the middle. The railway runs in the warmer months only.
Belgrade: Kalemegdan and the National Museum
Belgrade on foot: Kalemegdan, Knez Mihailova and Republic Square
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Belgrade

We start at 9 am at Kalemegdan, while the park is cool and quiet, with a licensed local guide. The fortress walls stand on the ridge where the Sava meets the Danube, and from the terrace by the Victor monument you look across the two rivers to Zemun and New Belgrade. The guide tells the city's long story of sieges, from the Romans and Ottomans to the bombing of 1999, and then walks us down Knez Mihailova, the pedestrian street of 19th-century facades, to Republic Square. Here we visit the National Museum of Serbia, reopened in 2018 after fifteen years of renovation, from its medieval Serbian icons and manuscripts to its European paintings, which include works by Degas and Renoir.
Après-midi
Lunch is at a traditional kafana. The afternoon is free, for the House of Flowers where Tito is buried, the Nikola Tesla Museum, the Church of St Sava or a river cruise.
Soir
The farewell dinner is in Skadarlija, the old bohemian quarter.
Compris

Novi Sad, then Belgrade Airport
Belgrade to Novi Sad, then Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG)
- Petit-déjeuner
- Environ 2.5 h de route

Matin
After breakfast we load the luggage and drive an hour and a quarter north to Novi Sad, Serbia's second city, on the Danube. A local guide meets us at the Petrovaradin fortress on the far bank, an 18th-century Habsburg stronghold with a clock tower whose hands are reversed, the big hand for the hours, so boatmen could read it from the river. From the walls the view runs across the Danube to the city. Then we cross the bridge into the old town for a walk along Zmaj Jovina and Dunavska streets, lined with pastel Habsburg-era houses, to Freedom Square and the Name of Mary church. We leave Novi Sad at about 1:30 pm and reach Belgrade Airport, about an hour away, by about 2:30 pm, so book a flight leaving after about 5 pm. If you fly earlier, we drop you at the airport on the way out of Belgrade; if you are staying on, we take you back to the city.
Compris
- Petrovaradin fortress and Novi Sad old town with a local guide
- Drop-off at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) or a Belgrade hotel
Option plus facile : Stay on the fortress terrace with a coffee while the group walks the old town, or skip Novi Sad and go straight to the airport.
Temps libre : Lunch free in Novi Sad
Activité : Book a flight from Belgrade (BEG) leaving after about 5 pm.

Faune et météo : July and August are hot in Mostar, Belgrade and on the coast, often over 35°C, and Dubrovnik is at its busiest, so we start early and keep the middle of the day free. May, June and September are the best balance. Sarajevo and Mokra Gora sit higher and are cooler in the evenings. The Šargan Eight and the Drina boats run in the warmer months, which sets the May to October season.

Questions
What does the price include?
Nine nights in central hotels, 9 breakfasts, 7 sit-down lunches and 2 dinners, airport pick-up in Dubrovnik and drop-off in Belgrade, our own vehicle and driver for the whole route, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, local guides in each city, and every entry in the day plan, including the Dubrovnik walls, Tito's bunker, the Tunnel of Hope, the Drina boat and the Šargan Eight.
How big is the group?
Seven to twelve guests, never more, and we do not merge groups. Everyone fits in one vehicle, crosses a border quickly and sits at one table at lunch, and a small group can be on the Dubrovnik walls or Mostar's bridge before the crowds.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for all ten days, across both borders. Licensed local guides join us in Dubrovnik, Mostar, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Novi Sad, and at Tito's bunker, and a Sarajevo guide leads the siege tour. We name your guide when we confirm your departure.
How fit do I need to be?
Moderate. You should be happy walking two to three hours a day on cobbles, polished stone and steps, often in summer heat. The steepest climbs, the Mostar minaret and the Počitelj tower, are optional, and the Dubrovnik walls can be cut short at the Minčeta Tower.
I'm travelling solo. Is there a single supplement?
Yes, a fixed one: a room of your own is from CAD 750 more, shown before you book, with no surprise later. Solo guests get the same room standard and the same seat at the table as everyone else. Ask if you would like us to try to match you with a roommate of the same gender.
When is the best time to go?
May, June and September give warm days and fewer crowds. July and August are hot in Mostar and Belgrade and busy in Dubrovnik, so we start early and keep middays free. The trip runs from May to October, when the Šargan Eight railway and the Drina boats operate.
How does booking work?
Choose a departure and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Payment details and terms are included in your final quote for you to review before accepting.
Can I travel on my own dates?
Yes. The private version runs for your party only on a date you choose, from CAD 7,920 per person sharing. If you would rather travel independently, without a guide, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, drivers and local guides as a separate itinerary.
Do I need a visa for Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia?
Not for Canadian, US, UK or EU passports on a short stay. Croatia is in the Schengen area, so the EU Entry/Exit System registers you on arrival, and the ETIAS travel authorisation will apply once it starts. Serbia and Bosnia are outside Schengen. Check your passport's validity requirements for each country; we confirm them when you book.
Why do you stop a night in Višegrad?
Because Sarajevo to Belgrade is about six and a quarter hours of driving in one go. A night at Višegrad splits it into two days of about two and a quarter and four hours, with the bridge on the Drina, a river boat and the Šargan Eight railway in between instead of one long bus day.
Is Bosnia and Herzegovina safe to visit?
Yes. Sarajevo, Mostar and Trebinje are lively, welcoming towns with plenty of visitors. The one real caution is that some rural areas still have landmines from the 1990s war; they are marked, and we stay on paved roads and well-used paths, as everyone should.
Do I fly home from Belgrade?
Yes. The trip is one-way, from Dubrovnik Airport to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, so book an open-jaw ticket. On day 10 we reach the Belgrade airport by about 2:30 pm, so choose a flight leaving after about 5 pm, or we drop you earlier.
