Top Architecture Spots in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Keep an eye on your belongings. I heard stories of pickpockets, and I was extra careful. I recommend using a crossbody bag that you can keep close to you while wandering around.

Make sure to check out the little shops selling hand-made crafts and souvenirs. I got a beautiful copper coffee pot for a steal! Just remember to haggle a bit – it's part of the experience!

Don’t rush your visit! I suggest going around 10 AM when the crowd is still manageable. This way, you can take photos without a bunch of people in the background. Trust me, it's way more enjoyable!

Check out the nearby river and take a stroll along the paths; it's a nice way to kill time and soak in the beautiful scenery after visiting the house.

If you're planning to take pictures, avoid mid-day when the sun is harsh. Early morning or late afternoon gives better lighting and fewer shadows for those perfect shots.

Don't skip the small café inside! It’s a nice spot to take a break and enjoy some local pastries after your visit.

I suggest taking a guided tour—they gave me insights about the architecture and history that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Totally worth the extra time.

I recommend visiting right when it opens at 9 AM to dodge the crowds. The serenity in the morning light is just magical!

Check the opening hours before you go! I almost missed out because I showed up during the lunch break. They usually close from noon to 1 PM, so plan accordingly

Don’t forget to explore the area around the cathedral! There are some cozy cafes nearby where you can grab a coffee and soak in the local vibe after your visit.

Try to catch some of the local events or mass times. I stumbled upon a beautiful service during my visit which added a special touch to the experience.

Check the opening hours before you go, as they can vary, especially on public holidays. I went on a Sunday, and it was closed unexpectedly!

Wear good walking shoes; the path to the White Bastion can be a bit steep and uneven. I'd recommend taking your time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
