Day trips from Sarajevo by car: places worth the drive

Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains and nature, and with a rental car you can discover a lot in a single day and still sleep in the city.

In and around Sarajevo

• Vrelo Bosne: a nature park in Ilidža at the springs of the Bosna river, great for walks and families.
• Mount Trebević: overlooks the city and can be reached by car or by cable car from near the Old Town.

The Olympic mountains

• Jahorina and Bjelašnica: both hosted events of the 1984 Winter Olympics. Skiing in winter, hiking and fresh air in summer.
• Lukomir: a traditional mountain village with stone houses on the Bjelašnica plateau. The road is a mountain road, so ask about its condition before you go.

South towards Herzegovina

• Konjic: a town on the green Neretva river, a lovely stop on the way.
• Mostar: the city of the Old Bridge, on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The drive takes about two hours or more depending on traffic, so set off early.

Driving tips

• In the cold season winter equipment is required, so check tyres and chains against the current rules.
• Mountain roads can be narrow and winding; allow extra time.
• Always carry the car papers and your licence, and ask about the conditions for leaving Bosnia if you plan to cross a border.
