Description
This is an excellent choice for travelers who are short on time and want to maximize their cultural experience. Less than half an hour from Dubrovnik is a state called Bosnia i Hercegovina and a place called Trebinje.
Trebinje is a small sized city situated in the Trebišnjica river valley in south eastern Herzegovina, about 30 km by road from Dubrovnik, Croatia, on the Adriatic coast. Despite its small size, there is plenty going on in this town in the way of live music, festivals, outdoor activities, and nightlife. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is called “the city of sun and platan trees”. The city is the economic and cultural centre of the region of Eastern Herzegovina. Hercegovina is well known for its wine and food. In Trebinje you will visit Hercegovačka Gračanica. You can climb up the Hercegovačka Gračanica hill for great panoramic views of the whole town of Trebinje area, Friar's field, Trebisnjica River and Leotar mountain in the back. Learn about Easter Orthodox religion and visit Eastern Orthodox Church of Holy Annunciation. After Hercegovačka Gračanica you will explore Trebinje Old Town.
