The Herzegovina Wine Route passes through Trebinje; cultural monuments, cycling routes and the Trebišnjica provide further points of reference when considering the city for a stay. If you are looking for a hotel in Trebinje, you can start by thinking about which of these interests you want to shape your stay. The destinations also differ in their distance from the centre and in the visiting conditions to bear in mind.

Wine Route and cycling

The Herzegovina Wine Route runs through Trebinje. Individual wineries and their access conditions may change; check in advance if you are planning a visit.

Around Trebinje, mountain bike routes follow Austro-Hungarian roads and lead to the ancient sites of Strač, Golo Brdo and Petrina. Another cycling connection is the former Ćiro narrow-gauge railway: a project to revitalise it made Trebinje part of a regional cycling network. Both routes along historic roads and the regional network are therefore among the city’s cycling attractions.

Cultural sites and architectural history

Hercegovačka Gračanica was built to fulfil the wish expressed in Jovan Dučić’s will; the entire complex was completed in 2000. It includes the church, a bell tower, the bishop’s palace, an amphitheatre, a souvenir shop and the summer restaurant “Dučićev pogled”. As details about the facilities may change, check the information before your visit.

The Perović (Arslanagić) Bridge is a monument from the Ottoman period. Mehmed-Pasha Sokolović had it built in 1574; it holds an important place in 16th-century Balkan architecture. The bridge is 1.2 km from the centre and can be reached on foot. Hercegovačka Gračanica is 2.6 km from the centre and is also within walking distance. The different distances offer a concrete comparison of the two destinations in relation to the centre.

Tvrdoš Monastery is further away: it lies 5 km west of Trebinje on the right bank of the Trebišnjica. It was built on the foundations of a 4th-century church. Today, it is one of the oldest cultural and historical monuments in Republika Srpska. Check the access conditions before your visit.

River, views and orientation

The Trebišnjica is a 98 km-long sinking river and was once the largest in Europe. From the Skywalk viewpoint, you can enjoy panoramic views of Trebinje and the surrounding area. Check access and operating conditions before your visit.

The Museum of Herzegovina occasionally hosts exhibitions, poetry readings, book presentations and music concerts. The programme is not continuous; check specific dates if you would like to attend an event.

The Trebinje Tourist Information Centre offers city maps, souvenirs and local handicrafts. You can also hire a licensed tour guide there.
