Višegrad Tour

Discover Višegrad, a historic town nestled along the majestic Drina River in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Republic of Srpska. This picturesque town is set within a spacious basin, surrounded by rolling hills and mountains that rise to heights exceeding 1000 meters. The area is characterized by its stunning natural beauty, with the Drina River carving through high cliffs and forming a deep canyon.

At the heart of Višegrad stands the iconic Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge, commonly known as the “Bridge over Drina,” immortalized in Ivo Andrić’s novel. This 500-year-old stone bridge, with its 11 graceful arches, is not only a UNESCO World Heritage site but also a symbol of cultural pride and historical significance. Built during the Ottoman era, the bridge has witnessed centuries of history and remains a testament to architectural craftsmanship.
