Travnik Travel Guide

 Bosnia2005traveler Says:  Stari Grad which means old city, is a main attraction in Travnik, it is a steep walk up a hilll so wear comfortable shoes. The view is amazing and at only a 1km it is well worth it. One of the best places to get a view of the whole city 

 travelife Says:  Ivo Andric is a famous Serbian writer who won Nobel for his famous piece of literature 'The Bridge over Drina'. His birth place (mother's parental house) is in Travnik and that has been converted into a museum. Another piece of attraction, the multicultural Bosnia takes...

 travelbug102 Says:  A great place to view the city's minarets or the imposing mountains nearby. When I visited there was an enthusiastic student working at the entrance of the fortress who gave me a 10 minute history lesson for 5KM. Sadly, I didn't take notes and can't remember much.

 travelbug102 Says:  The Plava Voda restaurant is right next to the water. Many outside tables, efficient service, a fresh breeze and some cold water spray (depending on how close you are sitting to the water source). If I had someone there with me, I probably could have stayed the whole... 

 travelbug102 Says:  If you'er visiting the museum house of Ivo Andric (author of Bridge on the Drina and other classics), then pop in here for a good meal. Unfortunately, the museum was closed when I was there (Saturday in early spring) but the homecooked meal and old-style interior of the... 

 travelife Says:  When you get off at the bus stop, be careful to take the right direction, that is, coming out of the bus stop to the main road take the right turn and you will be in the centre in around 6-7 min. walk. 

 travelife Says:  Here as in other places in Bosnia, Turkish coffee is popular. I asked for but didn get any espresso. So coffee choice may be limited. This is not that touristic yet, so you may find a truly Bosnian touch and for obvious reason far fewer people understand or speak English. 

 elsebeth Says:  I don't know so much about this old fortress but it's very interesting to look at anyway. 

 Mina17 Says:  The sultan mainly resided in his palace, which is what you see in the photo.It was built in the 15th Century. In bosnian its called "Stari Grad" which roughly translated means Old City.It was an important building almost to the end of the Ottoman Empire rule.
