Starica prede vunu

Hand-made spinning wool is an very old tradition in Bosnia. Unfortunately, this kind of handicraft barely can be seen in today's Bosnia. I was lucky, in occasion of a business trip to Kneževo nearby Banja Luka I saw this old lady and she proudly posed me for a picture.

Djevojka u parku

The statue of the girl stands in the central park of the city, right opposite to the castle. I know nothing about this monument, however, it remind me on the fact that the city of Banja Luka is crowded with the beautiful and very attractive girls. When strolling around you'll notice it by yourself.

Prasnjavi 1583 reviews

Having a coffee in some of very nice coffee bars in main, Gospodska Street is tradition here. It is pedestrian zone passing by Banski Dvor, National Bank, City Hall and Church of Holy Trinity. You can have your coffee and enjoy watching beautiful women passing by.

The architecture of our town is unique, because it stems from so many eras. This is also evident in usage. For instance, the Banski Dvori is a general institution building, but also contains a wide spectrum of workshops and multi-media programs. This is not just a place of cultural-art events (concerts, exhibitions, literature nights), but is also a place of many social, scientific, economic and tourist manifestations. An exhibitions saloon, Big Hall, City Hall, the Solemn Saloon, its design-centre, and the Parliament/President's Office, are located in 'Banski Dvori'.

 Banja Luka has been through some rough times in its history from invasions , bombardment and in 1969 an earthquake! But you'll find a great city here with some great cafes and places to eat!
