Trebinje
Just 30km from Dubrovnik, Trebinje is a worthwhile alternative to Croatia’s classic destination, with a walled Old Town, mountain views and a river complete with swimming spots.
Nestled in the serene valley of the Trebišnjica River, the town makes for an interesting diversion. The charming city, often overlooked by mainstream tourism, offers a tranquil retreat with its rich history and picturesque landscapes. The Old Town, a mosaic of ancient stone buildings and cobblestone streets, leads you to the iconic Ottoman-era Arslanagić Bridge, a symbol of Trebinje's enduring heritage.
In the heart of the is the lively Trebinje Market, with Herzegovinian honey and artisan cheeses on offer. For a panoramic city view, a visit to the Hercegovačka Gračanica Monastery, perched atop Crkvina Hill, is a must.
